    I recently visited for the first time for brunch, and it was such an energetic and lively spot! The atmosphere was inviting, with plenty of buzz to keep the energy up while still feeling comfortable. The food was absolutely delightful. I tried the Croquet madam and it was perfectly balanced with rich flavors. The crab cakes were equally impressive—crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. One unique aspect of the experience was being able to play board games while waiting for our food. We chose Scrabble, which made the time fly by and added a fun, interactive twist to the meal. Overall, this place is a great choice for a delicious brunch with a side of entertainment. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu and enjoy the lively vibes!

    Great spot for quality beer and pub food. Roughly 20 beers on tap; all local with most from the brewery plus a couple guest taps. It’s not fine dining but the food and service are great - here on a Friday this time and can’t recommend the daily special of the brisket burger enough, it was outstanding. We were a party of five on a busy evening and all said we’d definitely come back (we’d brought three out of town guests). Highly recommended for any craft beer lovers out there!
