I can't recommend this place enough-over half their menu is vegan, which is awesome! The vegan lasagna, steak, and chicken ribs were incredible, and their house-made vegan ranch is next-level. Bartenders Chris and Kevin are super helpful, guiding you to great choices. They've got live music, karaoke on Thursdays, and a solid beer selection. It's the perfect spot for a great dinner, drinks, and music-you'll leave feeling amazing! Read less

I had a really great time when I came. I got the vegan rings and fries which were delicious. I can’t wait to try the other vegan offerings. I did get the mac & cheese and the flavor was good, but I feel like it was missing something texture wise. The service was also great. Kevin was very nice and I can’t wait to go back . If you are coming though, be mindful, it is only off street parking however I was able to find a spot close easily but I did come early I highly recommended to anyone it’s especially good if you have friends with different dietary needs there’s something for everybody Read less

I really like the menu here. There are a lot of animal friendly dishes... but the food isn't always consistent. The service leaves a lot to be desired. Our waiter didn't come back to check on us once after he dropped our meals and also had to be chased down to refill drinks and bring the check. Parking is abysmal. The entertainment is usually fun and upbeat. Definitely more of a bar with snacks than a good restaurant to get a meal at. Read less

Went here to have a couple of beers and see Deal play some dead tunes last Tuesday. Good beer, a few local choices from Weyerbacher on tap. Taco Tuesday, 2 for 5. Very nice, old downtown place, with stunning architectural elements, great design, dim lighting, and hand-carved wooden furniture. This type of place is the reason I live around here. True staples of the community, and so happy to support. Read less

Ordered via Grubhub. Portion size: Overall the portions were a good size except for the asparagus fries. I feel the asparagus fries are too overpriced. You receive only a few stalks (maybe 1$) wish but it costs 11$. Packaging: The actual containers the food arrived in was fine. The side sauces should have been wrapped in foil or put in a separate box so they didn't open and spill all over. Everything was squeezed int thin plastic bags. At least using paper could have kept it a little warmer and even cleaner. Taste & Flavor: To start, most of the food arrived cold or barely warm, so it's possible if it was hot or served at the resturant, some of the negative aspects might not be present. Asparagus fries: Very bland, no spices or seasoning appeared to be used. They were not prepped well, they were almost impossible to bite through and needed to be cut or have the entire stalk put in your mouth at once. These could have been steamed, blanched, sous vide before frying to make them more easier to consume, or if they wanted to keep the crispness, they could have skinned them first. The breading was really greasy and added no flavor to the dish. Personally I would have preferred batter dipped over the greasy fried coating. Mac & Cheese: Very bland with no Flavor. It was had and dry because it was cold. I tried many methods to reheat, but they all just made it more dry and the cheese coagulated forming more like hard rubber. This appears to be made with just a form of cheese and no ingredients to make it an actual cheese sauce. This probably would have started better fresh and at the resturant, but it would still have been bland. Part of the reason for a cheese sauce is to add flavor. Plane melted cheese and noodles are not the best taste. Empanadas: There were not bad. Nothing special, seemed a generic pre-made variatey that has an over doughy shell instead of a rich flakey shell that you get at most Empanada shops. Chili: The chili was great. I wish it had an option to make spicier, but that's just my preference. Fettuccine Alfredo: Another bland dish with almost no flavor/seasoning. It also had a mysterious over cooked piece of cheese on top that was almost transparent. I'm guessing it was Parmesan, since the details stated it had this type of cheese, but due to the overheating and plastic like texture and taste, I can't say for sure. Maybe it would be better at the resturant, or maybe it would be better if they grated it like most places. The bread that comes with it was good, but instead of providing butter packs, they pre butter it with almost no butter at all. Black & Blue Burger: It was cooked as requested, and had fresh lettuce, tomato and other toppings. The only down side was that the sauces were thrown in litte containers that had opened and spilled all over the bag. Even know I didn't get to taste it with the sauces, it was a good burger. Black & Blue Fries: (3$ upgrade for burger) This were the worst item. I don't know if they were made correctly or not, since many places make them different. But what I received where fries cooked so poorly they were soggy and near translucent. They seemed kinda blackish, but they had no flavor, so I don't know it it was prom spices or dirty oil. The had about a tablespoon of Bleu cheese on top. Definitely not worth 3$ extra. Read less
