Draft selection is always rotating, and they always have something exceptional. Service in the bar area is the best in town. Wish I lived closer, this would be my neighborhood haunt.

Corned beef & cabbage was great, and the Taco Salad is always a good choice!

Love the steak sandwich at lunch, no bread fred for dinner, and the uptown pizza for bar food. (And Shawn and Kathy are awesome)

Baked potato soup is a great meal for a cold day and a hungry stomach. And always check the beer list!

Great food, better beer, Kathy is the best bartender ever, be patient.... sometimes the dining room service is a touch slow... but worth the wait. I love this place!

Had shrimp alfredo for the 1st time a few weeks ago & it was phenomenal! Came back for it tonight & it wasn't even close to what it was before. Major disappointment. And they don't have Mascato :(

Food was a disappointment, sever dropped off the food and was gone, not busy so no excuse there, ribs were overlooked so tough it was hard to even cut them with a knife.....

Haven't been here since last spring. French onion soup was disappointing. Sent the side salad back because the lettuce was brown & smelled funky. The rueben ,soso. Waitstaff sucked. FAIL

Way, way too slow for lunch. You need at least an hour because of the slow service.
