We sat outside on the patio on a Friday evening and it appeared that we were going to have a pleasant dining experience. Our waiter was friendly, but he clearly had too many assigned tables and was “MIA” for most of the evening. The libations that we ordered were delivered cold, and our appetizer of “Fried Calamari” was typical but not exceptional. The problems started when we received our entrees, both of which tipped the scales in the $16 to $18 range. My wife opted for the “special” which was seared Rockfish. Her meal was over cooked, and the seasonings were caked onto the fish so much so that you could not discern what it was that you were eating. I opted for the “Chicago Three Way Chili” which in short was inedible; my “meal” consisted of linguini style noodles smothered with what can only be described as a cross between Hamburger Helper and dog food concealed under melted cheddar cheese. I took two bites and decided I would be better off having another beer than to try and choke down the creation. At least the patrons at the table next to us looked like they were enjoying their hamburgers. I would NOT eat here again, and they should be ashamed to serve that type of food.
Pros: Extensive Beer list
Cons: Poor Food

The food is way over priced for what small portions you do get. Expect friday and saturday nights to be busy. Hostess are not friendly and are not willing to assist an any way to sit you inside instead of outside on a chilly night. Steal the Glass night is best! You can get tons of great beer glasses. Staff service is poor. Bartenders do not mix drinks well. Beers are almost warm when they get to the table. Table was really dirty and had food left after last guest. Our party stepped all over clam shells and crayons. I cannot believe someone would bring their child to this place! Overcrowded on a friday night and hostess never gave a good time for seating. I waited 45 minutes when the hostess told me 20 minutes! Too expensive for such lousy food!
Pros: steal the glass night
Cons: service, parking, ambience, price, value
