What People Are Saying
from Google"I really enjoyed my time here! First, the Halloween decor was fantastic — a skeleton and a big hairy spider, but done so tastefully that it felt festive rather than over the top. Inside was cozy with candles on each table, a brick wall, quirky posters, bookshelves, and card games. I tried the orange wine, which was unique and refreshing. My partner got a cocktail called In the Cards — rye with cinnamon and cardamom — perfect for fall. We shared the fried calamari, I had the fish and chips (very good), and my partner had the mac and cheese (hearty and filling). Overall, great vibe, good food and drinks. I’ll be back."
"absolutely love the vibes of this restaurant. it’s very nice and cozy and intimate. whether you wanna go there with a s/o or simply a group of friends you’ll have a good time no matter what. expectational drinks, but my personal fave is the snapdragon. practically their version of a french 75. so delicious. got their french onion soup which was so good, and then we got the poutine. the poutine unfortunately was very overwhelming. no season to the fries and just smothered in cheese. it was more cheese than it was gravy, which was quite disappointing. so out of starters i wouldn’t suggest that meal but i do enjoy this restaurant!"
"Indoor and outdoor dining is open now. Great food and excellent service. The cheese plate was really good, especially the blue cheese. Also, the pickled veggies included fennel! One of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had in a while. Finally, they sell beer, wine, and cocktails to go. Awesome time."
"Went for a Friday date with my husband at our local favorite. Service is always great. Surprisingly not too busy as we were able to get a patio seat. My fish and chips were meah (can't put my finger on it). I love my cocktails and my hubby enjoyed his beer so we had a great evening overall."
"Great food and an awesome beer selection. The oysters were very good. The fish and chips got two separate thumbs up. I enjoyed the brisket sandwich. Make reservations for prime time. Parking can be painful, I went to the street behind Dunkin donuts"
