Quick service and fresh food. Good variety of beers. Calamari pretty tasty and not oily, crab cake sliders good and excellent burger. I would certainly go back!

There was barely any customers and my boyfriend and I were sat at a booth and it took a while but everything went fine until our food came. My boyfriend added bacon on his burger and they forgot it. They also put it on toast instead of the hamburger bun the menu said it came on. I had my food so I waited until they brought his back out and by that time both of our burgers weren't as warm. We didn't get our drinks refilled or get checked on during our meal. We had to stand up multiple times to look for a server. We also didn't get a discount on our bill for all the trouble. I understand if a place is busy, but there was no excuse here.

We stopped for a light meal - salad and the homemade potato chips. Both were good. Had a great local porter. Excellent people-watching if you eat outside plus a great view of the fountains.

Service was very good. I was going to order the club but they were out of them. I ended up ordering a burger and it was very good. This was a nice place to take a client. Parking was convenient on the street.
