Went for Happy Hour and was pleasantly surprised by their options and prices. Loved the atmosphere – upscale bar with out high prices. Ordered the cheese curds and they were like nothing I’ve had before. The coating was very light & flaky and cheese was so good! Definitely going back for more.

Over the years, I don’t believe I’ve ever had a bad experience here.
Today was the first time I, or my friends had ever been there for brunch. Ironically, we all ordered the Western Skillet and all thought it was quite good.

We were in town for a performance and needed a place to eat beforehand. I made reservations for 11:15am. We were seated at 11:17.
Bloody Mary’s were very good. However, we ordered our food shortly after arriving and did not receive our food until 12:20. Much too long. We had a performance to be at at 1:00.
I ordered the meatloaf eggs Benedict with eggs poached hard. The first meal that came out had no meatloaf but the eggs were correct. She brought me back out another plate and the meatloaf was there, however the eggs were runny and the whole dish was cold. I ate it anyway because we didn’t have much time.
Beware that the “side of bacon” that you order is 2 strips (laughable). Several in our party received burnt bacon.
Biscuits and gravy were just ok. None of the food was seasoned well, and there was no salt and pepper at the table (why??). As you can see from the photo the biscuits and gravy are to come with runny eggs and it did not.
The best part of the whole meal were the breakfast potatoes. One of us also ordered pancakes and those were good.
All in all, food was under seasoned and cold. Took way too long to come out. The restaurant was also not busy when we arrived. I’m assuming this is a staffing issue that the food took so long.
I think this restaurant has a lot of potential but as you can see from the reviews the experience tends to be extremely inconsistent.

I was so happy to have my friends join me for dinner!! <3 We were promptly seated upon arrival even though we were missing a member of our party. Our server was kind and enthusiastic, and able to provide great recommendations.
We started with delicious drinkies and some small plates. The brussel sprouts had shisito peppers and banana peppers but it wasn’t a spicy dish like I was looking forward to. The sticky wings were soooo yummy I would definitely recommend those!
As for the steak, I thought the fat cap was pretty intense but it was cooked perfectly. The bone marrow butter on top was salty yet to die for!! The scalloped potatoes were super oily though. No matter how much I mixed there was always a pool of oil on top so I didn’t really enjoy that.
The dessert menu was dropped off for us, but it felt like our server kinda forgot about us because he did not come back for at least another 15 minutes. At that point we weren’t really sure that we wanted dessert anymore, but our server recommended the peanut butter pie and it was just alright.
Overall, the vibes were good, the service was decent, and the food was just good.

Went for breakfast, which was good. Nothing to write home about. But not bad.
Why they lost stars for me:
Upon arrival, the hostess didn’t greet us and didn’t even Mae eye contact. Just grabbed the menus and said follow me. I’m not looking for a red carpet but like a hello would have sufficed. Waitress also appeared to be unhappy with being at work. Coffee cup stayed empty without offering to refill until our plates were empty and I laid my payment on the table. Then, as we left, the hostess was again silent. Not a thank you, no have a nice day. It was 9:30 on a Saturday morning with maybe 4 other tables so it’s not like they were slammed. No excuse really for poor service.
Likely not to return.

I had so been looking forward to going and having brunch in their courtyard, after driving past it one day and seeing the trees. I waited weeks for a decent day. I was sadly disappointed. Even though it was humid out, I wanted to sit under the trees and not trapped indoors as one is here. Outside it turns out is where smokers are allowed. Even though we moved tables, I had to constantly breathe in disgusting smoke as a guy chain smoked 5-6 cigarettes. Where I come from this is not allowed, even an outdoor area is considered a public space and you aren’t allowed to smoke 200m from an entrance. This ruined the outdoor experience for me. When breakfast came, after paying extra for smoked salmon, we had expected beautiful ribbons of fish. Instead, what arrived on our avo toast, looked like and tasted like salmon out of a can, flaked onto the avo. For the price, this was daylight robbery. What a disappointment overall. We live so close and I was hoping this cute place would be a weekly outing, but alas, I’m very put off.

Went to Mulberry Street Tavern with some friends and had such a fun time! I rarely find myself at this side of downtown so it was nice to try something new.
We got:
• COSPLAY drink (N/A — cute presentation and super tasty)
• Brussel sprouts
• Sticky Wings (so delicious, loved them!)
• NY strip x3
• Pot pie
• Peanut Butter Pie
I really liked my NY strip, I thought it was cooked just to my liking and I appreciated that it was already sliced for me. To be honest, I didn’t care for the scalloped potatoes. They came out nice and hot but they were just too oily for my liking. The broccolini was a good addition- I always like to have some type of vegetable with my meat. Service in the beginning was great, however towards the end it seemed so slow. By the end of the meal, we were left stranded for awhile after being given our dessert menu that we were hesitant to order it anymore. We ended up getting the peanut butter pie and it was OK. It was enough to fulfill my sweet tooth but it was pretty underwhelming in my opinion.
I think I would return but would come back to trial more appetizers, drinks, and sides!

In town for a conference, and on recommendation, I walked here from my hotel. I was not disappointed. The service was sociable and attentive. The food was excellent. The iceberg wedge had a well balanced combination of flavors and the pork tenderloin was succulent and bursting with flavor. Also, the local cider was delicious.

Most of the food was great. I had the Bison steak and it was delicious and pretty soft for such a lean cut. Drinks were great too. Service was too notch. The only thing I didn’t care for was the broccolini, which was cooked well but had a bad flavor.
