First off, let me say how CLEAN this place was. I was very impressed by that and the cozy atmosphere immediately upon entering the establishment. No wait time, friendly staff, and lots of seating options. I got the lobster roll and my husband got the steak frites- we both took some home! Great portion sizes for the price. Everything was absolutely delicious. We will be back!

The service here was outstanding. Came in on a Thursday night and was greeted right away by the host. Our server was very attentive and answered all of our questions. Drinks and food were outstanding and we will definitely be back. Cannot recommend this place enough

The fried chicken with cornbread is amazing!!! My adult kids love the cornbread over anything, but the Wagyu burger was excellent. The menu options are nicely done, not too many, and a nice variety. The reason to go other than food is the Whiskey & Bourbon selection. It's a connoisseur dream. The flight options are crazy good. The staff, each time we have gone, the waiter focuses on us and dives into small talk to understand our drink preferences. The customer service is fantastic when it comes to the waiters. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, very spacious at the same time.

Great place to get a drink and delicious meal! The Drunkin Tots, French Onion Soup, Short Rib Sheppard Pie and Short Rib Papardelle were all very good. Drinks were tasty too!

I had a wonderful time. The drinks are mostly craft cocktails and are usually about 15 or so. Food is on the expensive side. But otherwise good time. Sophia the bartender was sweet and personable.

I'm not sure what I expected here, but it's my new favorite place. The Char Burger is definitely the best burger I've ever had. I had the second half the next day at home and it was just as delicious. Service was very good on a busy night. Ambiance was very cozy and warm. I didn't stop talking about the burger all weekend, though. So. Delicious. I'll be back to check out the cocktails with my next burger. Absolutely worth a visit!
