It may tell you something that we had no trouble getting a table at 7:40 on a Friday night. In fact that was the first hint, because the place was over half empty, and yet they walked us past the nicer areas and sat us right next to another couple, near the kitchen and practically in the bar. They tried to seat another group right after us up against us on the other side, but they objected to being right IN the kitchen door, so they were moved to the other side of the couple next to us. Then another couple was given the kitchen a few minutes later. So, empty tables all over in nice dining areas, and four tables crammed together alongside the bar were stuffed full.
I should have asked to move; I usually do because I hate sitting in the bar. If I wanted to watch people drink and be bombarded with TVs, I'd go to a bar. When I go to eat, I prefer a dining ambience and no TV in direct line of sight. But that would have put me closer to the karaoke (more on that in a minute) so it's just as well.
Food was just okay. Some interesting items on the menu, and it has potential. But the mashed potatoes were barely lukewarm and kind of watery tasting. The rubbed ribs weren't very tender and tasted kind of processed. The blue cheese steak and steak bite appetizers were pretty good. Nice selection of draft beers. My wife wishes places would quit being snooty and bring back white zinfandel.
Worst part was karaoke started up about 20 minutes after we arrived, before our food came. It was way too loud. We had to shout at each other across the table to be heard. I realize it's a bar, but c'mon, let people try to eat in relative quiet until around 9pm or so, huh? Ruined the night. My son is in high school drumline and carries a set of ear plugs on his keychain. I had to borrow them.
Wouldn't call this a family-friendly place, really. Seems like they're trying to be more tavern than restaurant, and that's okay, but that's not our style so we probably won't be back.
