Update Feb 2026: After three consecutive visits that came up short, I’ve downgraded my rating. The first time, we’re among the few guests on the patio, and service was so bad, a simple HH visit took almost 90 minutes. The second visit, service was spotty again, when long periods of time passed without service. The last, my poor Chicago Hot Dog was an absolute hot mess: a chewy weiner buried under pickle relish and mustard, wasting the beautiful bun. Our server cleared our and we said we were done, and another inexplicable ten minutes go by until we get another server’s attention. Three consecutive bad visits seems like a pattern. Previous review: We’ve come for both Happy Hour and Dinner. We love the HH menu, portions and prices. Dinner visits have been off. The Pork Chop looks impressive, and the reduction is great, but most of the meat was overcooked while meat near the bone was okay. The HH chips are fresh and crispy - they’re stale for dinner, so skip them. The portions at dinner are probably smaller than you expect. The Burger never disappoints.

We had a party of eight, and I felt like we ordered the entire menu and sampled each other's plates. The medium rare steak looked like it was cooked correctly. However, it was a little tough. Others in our party ordered each of the oysters and said they were all delicious except for one flavor. The best dish we had was surprisingly the octopus. It was cooked perfectly, which is hard to do. The staff was the absolute best part of this entire experience. My bartender was attentive, friendly, and was able to make a Vesper martini without even flinching. Our waitress was very friendly, bubbly, timely with her attentiveness, and knew her menu. Whenever we encountered any of the staff, they were genuinely attentive and responsive Including the runners. The food prices we're about what we expected and the prices of the cocktails, we're very reasonable. Any of us in the group will be returning, and the local family that was watching all of our kids will also.

We had a couple of picky eaters with us and the staff and management went out of their way to ensure we had a great meal. Great service, wonderful dishes, and a relaxing atmosphere made this visit special. The burgers were as advertised and custom made to our specifications. We'll be sure to visit again when we're in town.
