A very regrettable experience. It felt like their kitchen was allergic to spices and didn't know how to make good food. The atmosphere was nice, a combo between brewery and dinner club. The service was friendly. That's about all the good things I can say. After being iced out for 20 minutes before getting our first beers, I still had hope for the tasty sounding menu items. That hope was soon crushed. The beer cheese burger was highly mediocre, although the patty was cooked perfectly there was simply no flavor apart from the little beer cheese spread over it. There were two cherry tomatoes stuffed under the patty alongside some spring mix for some reason, like someone tried to force a salad onto the sandwich. A very forgettable burger. Their crispy chicken sandwich was by far the worst part. The huge fried chicken tasted like a grease bomb and left a horrible aftertaste in our mouths long after we abandoned the dish. There was not a pinch of seasoning anywhere, so you are left with the taste of grease, bun, and maybe a bit of pesto. The beer was good, although $12 for a snifter just doesnt feel right.

My friend is Vegan, so she picked this place since she had lots of vegan options and I had plenty of omnivore options... but the vegan menu all sounded tasty so I ordered from that also. We shared the Vegan Carnival... basically an appetizer sampler...and we were so happily surprised when he came on a big ferris wheel!! It was delicious and fun!! We both got alcoholic milk shakes, and I had pasta as my main dish. We both had tons of leftovers to take home. Our waitress was fun and knowledgeable and made great suggestions on what to order. Overall a great experience and can't wait to go back! Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Vegan

The vegan shakes are absolutely delicious!!! Whenever I visit Tom’s Oyster bar next door I order from this place and they bring it over. I have never had their food or experienced their service but I’ve hear their food is really good. I will try one day. I have used their rest room…walking through the restaurant it looks very welcoming but always crowded. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Making a table reservation was the way to go, it was so easy as well. Food was fabulous, drinks were good and strong! The place was absolutely packed but the food didn't take long at all, waitress was great! Definitely will be back, the Christmas themed drinks and decorations were a great touch!

So besides waiting FORever FOR everything the burger that the Men's Journal rated in the top 25 in the Nation must have at least been 25th because it was nothing whatsoever to write home about. They said they have beer battered french fries which sounded amazing but they're just regular french fries with a few crispy bits on the outside. Not sure where the hell the beer batter comes in. Boring to say the least, overpriced and underwhelming but they're in the proper place for that. Speaking of proper place, we asked for a wine list, the server said he'd be back as soon as he was done writing it down for us.. Pretty much the beginning of the waiting. This place is tight if your at all claustrophobic, or want to be socialize with your table and not the ones next to you. The main walkway in front of the bar is not only dangerously tight but also a trap, sat for 30 seconds it felt like while a line of customers and staff went through, just trying to come back from the bathroom once. Right between two group of tables also so was real apologetic to them. Cram them in though, real estate in RO has gone through the roof, and this is what happens when an individual owns three restaurants right next to each other, you become a sardine. Well, we don't go out that way often so a little less often now. Oh yeah, the lighting was messing with me photos! Oh and by wait I should clarify, we ordered two burgers with fries and it took over an hour, no explanation from our server or apology whatsoever. We were at the busiest possible time it seemed because after we got our food and were ready to leave, quickly, the place had died down as you can see in the pics because it was almost 10 and we got there at 7:30. Price per person $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

Fun Saturday night! Came in to see the Jingle Christmas pop up. Loved the holiday vibe, decorations and fun seasonal drinks. There is also a huge selection of vegan menu options. Tried the vegan crispy shrimp bowl, Mele Kalikimaka drink and vegan gingerbread shake for dessert. Service and food was great and loved the Hawaiian Santa Christmas mug. Highly recommend reservations to avoid a long wait. Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Vegan

Came for the Christmas pop up, love the decor and festive atmosphere! We tried and loved the Christmas special milkshakes! We got starters - fried mcclures pickles and beer cheese dip with pretzels was so good, great for sharing! Portion size for their brunch menu is huge! Especially my crispy fried chicken sandwich! Will definitely be back next time! Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Beer Cheese

Visited for the Christmas Pop-Up on a busy Friday evening. The place was packed! If I had to suggest anything, MAKE A RESERVATION!!! They offer decent vegan options if that’s your preference. The highlight was the buffalo cauliflower – easily the best part of the evening. Opted for the Kobe sliders with added fries, though it felt a bit pricey for the portion size. Tried the "Always Be My Maybe" drink; while it was decent, the half-full glass was unexpected for and slightly off-putting for $14. Perhaps a different glass would enhance the presentation. Overall, the experience was okay at best. The small and cramped space is immediately noticeable, and after chatting with my friend after eating, we felt a bit rushed out. Not in a rush to return, but considering another visit during a less crowded time for a potentially better experience. Price per person $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

They have good drinks and generous pours. Food, however... We sampled seven different plates and they ranged from OMG to meh. The OMG: Mark Cuban Chicken Sandwich Lobster roll Fried pickles The meh: Corn chowder (Luke warm, congealed) Cobb salad (didn't come with bleu cheese, serious lack of dressing, definitely needed red onion and why the ham???) Nachos (doritos? Awesome. Everything else was bland and dry) Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
