If you dont order your cheeseburger with bacon and egg, you aren't fully living your life.
- The cheese plate is always worth checking out and the steak frites are delicious.
Get the dragon's milk stout... Hard to find and delicious!
Wish the food would get better. Only getting worse. Sweet service and bartending. Good beer list. Fingers crossed that the food will improve.
Bring more black pieces for the connect 4 game. It's missing a lot.
Give Isaac a kiss, and trust his beer recommendations.
