  Had a great New Year's Eve experience. My wife loves the shepherds pie. Made fresh with lamb. Always consistent. I had the chicken fried chicken. Excellent and a close runner up to the Kitchen fried chicken around the corner at the Downtown Kitchen. I've also had the chicken pot pie. Delicious with huge chunks of tender chicken. And the best is they have my favorite beer on tap - Innis & Gunn. How cool is that!

  My first dinner here several months ago was awful, but the menu changed, and they have local Reformation Brews on tap, so my wife and I decided to try it again...Seriously? Beer is overpriced. And the food is still awful. The upstairs bar is 60 degrees. And now for the critique:I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which was served in a wire basket. Is your dishwasher broken? The sandwich was 80% bread, which looked like a tiny WalMart bun. It wasn't anything special, so I guess it's good that there wasn't more of it to eat.My wife ordered the fish'n'chips, again served in a BASKET!?!? Did we order off the kids menu? The fish was substandard... unless you like Long John Silver's. The chips/fries were limp and greasy. The fries served with the pork were in a jar. So back to the beer... They have some quality beer on tap, but... it's all the same. If you prefer wheat beer, you're out of luck. The one "wheat" beer they had, which the bartender recommended, wasn't even a wheat type beer. It was clear, and most definitely tasted like a pilsner. I asked the bartender if he was sure this was the right beer, and told him it tastes like a pilsner, and he said yes and agreed. So why did you recommend it? Honestly, I don't think he had a clue.Anyway... you fooled me twice Pig. Shame on me.

  Went on a Friday night around 10. There was a fun band playing a range of music- 60s to current hits. The crowd was a range of 20 something's to 60s. There were a few people dancing but mostly people watching and singing along. Took awhile to get a drink from the bar but it was pretty crowded. There was good people watching going on!

  We went to the comedy show that is upstairs. Be sure to check the lineup and make sure they have a decent headliner. The warm up guys were bad. Laughs were at a minimum for those guys. It was close to walking out bad. Thankfully, the headliner was quite good and we really enjoyed his set.
