Came here after Blythwood Manor. What a treat. The owner and Erin were very hospitable. The food was excellent. They were out of the tots so we ordered Mac and cheese. I loved it that it was penne pasta but my husband would’ve preferred that they were traditional. He had to stop me from eating the whole plate. Good thing I took a hard nap at home. Great place and can’t wait to come back.

My friend and I stopped by for a drink before we checked into our hotel just down the block. Great location, great neighborhood atmosphere (where everybody knows your name), and an impressive selection of drinks, and a friendly staff (they’re always glad you came).

Decent bar with a nice assortment of drinks and bar-style food. It’s loud inside. LOUD. It’s definitely worth a try if you’re in the mood. Service is excellent. Casual, friendly atmosphere.

Staff was lovely and attentive. Drinks and food were good. I ordered the JR Bean Burger and it could have used a little help flavor wise but for a burger, I’m satisfied. We had fried pickles and cheese curds for an app. The atmosphere was great. The only thing I would change is the prices. Seems a little steep for what you get, especially for the appetizers.
