There is a reason this place is still around after 25 years! The food was perfect, our server Rich, was professional, warm and took such good care of us; and the ambience can not be beat. The space is intimate & cozy, with natural stone and aged timbers, and lots of nooks where you can have a private conversation, but enjoy the space all around you. The live music was a nice surprise too, and added to the experience without taking away my ability hear a conversation. Thank you for a great 25th anniversary dinner!

About the restaurant

Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.

In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration.

But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

We were a party of 5 coworkers celebrating our CFO's bday at lunch time. We were given a nice secluded corner booth that was the perfect size for all of us and our bday supplies! Our server Alanah(sp?) was the perfect hostess and continually checked in on us, so we were well taken of. Drinks were served immediately and after 10 mins of deciding what to have, our lunch arrived approx 20 mins later. All plates at once and all food hot and delicious! Between us we had the chicken fingers w truffle fries, lobster and crab dip and salads (garden, caeser and chicken caesar) and there was not one complaint. No one had room desert but the bday boy took his free desert home with him. Restaurant was not noisy - we were the noisy ones, but hey, what's a little laughter among friends! Bathroom was clean but toilet starting flushing while I (female) was still seated! That was a little unexpected! All in all, it was a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!
