3.0 of 5 stars. I enjoyed the goat cheese salad. I wish I'd had a beer, the selection of draft beers looked interesting.

Yelp.com Review - by Paul F.

2.0 of 5 stars. IMO, this is just a bar with food, and the food isn't all that good. I've been here twice, once with a group. The second time I had the Mac & Cheese and I found it far inferior to that which I make...

3.0 of 5 stars. I didn't want to give it two stars. It has potential. Unfortunately it falls behind Betty's which falls behind Surly Girl in my mind. The food just isn't as good and the service wasn't that great. For...
