    They are known for their fried chicken and deviled eggs. I wouldn't get the chicken again, but the deviled eggs are awesome! Chopped salad was great too :)

    The Fried chicken and Avocado & hearts of palm salad are just a couple of the amazing menu items. On a side note, the ambience of the WT gives both a masculine & modern allure.

    The food & beverage here are five star to include service. They are very welcoming and it makes you want to come back. Deviled eggs no one wanted to order @ the bar until we did. Oh how good they are!

    Fried oysters and fried chicken are the way to go! Need to diet a day after eating here though as the food is so heavy and rich!

    Tell them you're dining with the mayor. You'll find a surprise under the table. Also, deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts and Kobe tartar are awesome.

    Poutine is UNREAL!! Fried chicken, delicious! Mac n Cheese pretty outstanding, but the hype of the burger left me disappointed. I can't wait to go back!! Oh and chef's counter is way cool.

    Gotta have the Kobe Tartare and Organic Fried Chicken! Hands-down the best fried chicken.

    The chocolate cream pie has a yummy crust that contains a layer of devil’s food cake, Scharffenberger chocolate pudding and a salty caramel ganache. Best ever!

    The burgers are decent, but most of all it's just a cool place, the interior makes this place better than a lot of its competitors around there, food is good, wine list okay

    Go with the salad with fried chicken. Healthy with just enough fried chicken to avoid FOMO.

    1915 is really good. Boozy and like an old fashion but less sweet. Staple. Wish it was served at more places.

    Try the four seat bar on the second floor. Much more intimate and quiet.

    Got in quick on a late Sunday night. They give you some small free dessert bites at the end, so make a little room :)

    Quality is good, fries perfectly cooked, but most plates are way too sweet for a European palate

    I'm normally not a fan of fried chicken. My boyfriend ordered it and it was so good. I love the fresh herbs and lemon it came with.

    While the menu and ambiance were warm and creative, the service completely soured my experience. Pressured by upselling and rushed out when not persuaded, it put a damper on the experience.

    Organic fried chicken is enough for two. Split the order though...

    Can't go wrong with staple burger and fried chicken though for lighter faire fish dishes are outstanding.

    A game of pool in between courses . . . great concept. Plus, try out the bone marrow appetizer. Not to mention, I was sold on the place when the popover hit the bread plate!
