Everything we ate here was so good, burger, pizza, salads all delicious. Our server was very attentive and friendly, we never felt like we were waiting. We sat up on the balcony and it was nice and breezy with umbrellas for the sun and a good little view of the town. We will definitely be going back, even just to try different pizzas they have, the crust they use is so flaky, different than normal pizza crust but so good.

Chef has some very creative items on the menu. Love it, gives me a chance to try new things. They had sweet and spicy buffalo wing bites with black and white truffle oil. Being someone who loves truffle oil I wanted to give them a try. The chef did not disappoint. They were ‘Beyond’ out of this world ….you could really taste the Truffle oil when you bit into them. The menu claimed they were infused with it.That was the decision to rate these Wing bites as five star! The sweet and spicy buffalo sauce was tasty too. A bit different than the Ho hum everyday sauce many other places use. Tasted hand crafted. The garden salad was very large and fresh. A wonderful balsamic vinaigrette which we chose from the various dressings was served on the side. Our main dish was crab cakes 8 oz each two of them with a side of Old Bay seasoned fries. Both of us thought the fries were amazing. However we had different takes on the crab cakes. My partner likes standard crab cakes which these were not. They were lighter and had a smoky taste to them and were broiled. I found them quite intriguing. They were placed on a bed of sriracha mayonnaise. Be forewarned, this place does not carry tartar sauce or the standard red seafood sauce if that’s what you look for. Forgot to take pictures of the glasses but they had a nice full fill on the wine and beer. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. Ample parking in the area. The help was pleasant but seem to be very strapped with the crowd indoors. Probably why the outside tables were not wiped as clean as they could be they had obvious drink rings and things left on them that is why they didn’t get a five star for atmosphere or service . We sat downstairs outside which was nice. it would have been Pleasant if not for the hatch of gnats that were swarming the area and also invaded a very close by Church picnic. Obviously not the restaurants fault…. that we had to blame on Mother Nature.

We had my Son & Daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner there on 10/10/2025 in their event space upstairs. We had the event room & outside patio for about 50 people. I live in Vermont and communicating with Chef Jimbo was a delight. He was quick to respond and offered suggestions and was very enthusiastic and helpful. Chef Jimbo went above and beyond to make this event special & memorable. The food was delicious south western style food and service was outstanding. All of our guests were raving about how delicious the food was. After dinner it became a welcome party for the Wedding guests in town – a most memorable & enjoyable evening. If I lived closer and had to host an event they would be #1 on my list.

You Need To Know? Arrived around 5:45 on a Friday night & got seated immediately. This environment was friendly & inviting. Service was quick. We ordered the chicken nachos, red garlic bites, meatball parm sub & a Mexican street corn flat bread. The Nachos were dry & just all right. The red garlic bites were very good & very strong, warding off vampires strong. Whew! The Flatbread was amazing, a different flavor explosion with every bite. Great place to hang out. Now You Know! -TBH

Ordered the white sauce buffalo chicken pizza, Delicious! Tavern style ( bar ) pizza with a nice crisp, but not crunchy crust, and well seasoned. It’s very much a bar that serves food, it does have tables and even outdoor seating. Located in the heart of downtown Pittston you should stop by and grab a pizza and a cocktail. . 10/10.

Great bar, great patio…downtown pittston. We visited during tomato fest, which gives you a front seat view of the festival. The first floor patio and second floor deck offer comfortable outdoor seating.
The pizza is very good and the clams are tasty. The bar features mixed drinks with plenty of other options including beer, seltzer, etc.
This place is great to grab some tasty food and drinks and I would recommend it if you’re getting together with friends.

Nice bar with a diverse crowd. Yellow construction shirts sitting along side people in suits. Very clean well kept establishment. Friendly bar tenders and plenty of parking. Would return. Lost a star because the drinks are a lil pricey and a lil weak on the pour. They have an interesting menu, have not tried yet.

Very cool interior with great ambience for a friends night out. Great service. I had the Mexican street corn flatbread which did not have any flavors reminiscent of Mexican street corn whatsoever but it was delicious anyway.! I will definitely go back to try more menu items. Also the pear ginger martini was excellent.

Food is fantastic, and the service equally wonderful. Truffle Garlic wing bites do not leave you longing for anything! Be careful though, the stromboli is huge. All the staff was very friendly. Looking forward to coming back!

Two strikes and we’re done with this place. There is never anyone to seat you or greet you at the door. No sign saying to seat yourself so we’ve witnessed many people standing at the door not knowing what to do and never ever being acknowledged. We end up going to the bar to ask what they want us to do, which we shouldn’t have to do. Last night was atrocious. We eventually seated ourselves and then we’re then told food would be about 45 minutes. We said ok, no problem and ordered drinks. There was no drink menu given to us, which was annoying. The server came back around and said she couldn’t put food orders in yet. Ok. We waited. After one more drink and no one acknowledging us for over 30 minutes we went up to the bar to get the bill, pay and get the hell out of there. We always tip, but tonight we didn’t because why would we? When you say 45 minute wait for food that sounds like you would order and get the food in 45 minutes. Not that you can order in 45 minutes and wait longer. We ended waiting well over an hour without getting to order and decided we had enough. We even saw another table who came in after us getting food. The place is a joke. It looked like there was one bartender and one server for the inside part of the restaurant. Either they don’t want to pay people to work, or people don’t want to work there. When we left we walked between the buildings and down an alley to get to our car. The door to the kitchen is on that side. We saw one of the cooks sitting outside the door smoking and I on his phone with blue gloves on. That is beyond disgusting. So he cooks with those gloves on then goes outside to smoke and talk on the phone. Then goes back in and cooks with those dirty gloves. Does he use the bathroom with those gloves on too? Does he even wash his hands at all? Makes you wonder about the cleanliness of this place. We will never go back. Customers don’t matter and the kitchen staff are obviously not trained in cross contamination.
