My husband wanted some corn beef and cabbage. Boy was he surprised when his plate came out, it had a real nice portion of corn beef, and quarter of a cabbage, carrots, lots of small potatoes and a delicious piece of bread. I sampled everything on his place and it was delicious. He found the cabbage needed to be cooked more. I ordered the fish and chip which came with an amazing tasting tartar sauce. It was our first time going there and the experience with food and service was great.

The food here was unique and delicious! I had one of the specials, the Après Ski something. It had hashbrown waffles and fried chicken topped with sunny side eggs. My husband had a brunch burger and fries. Both meals were satisfying and fresh. Service was good. The whiskey options were insane! So many small batch bottles and high end brands.

Pictures of the food don’t do this place justice! Everything is SO delicious! Go and try everything (not at once) unless you can and then wash it down with any of their delicious drinks! Service is always friendly and it’s always so clean in there as well! Seasonal changes for the menu, which never disappoint! Delicious options Always!

Food looked fantastic but just needed more seasoning. I would have rated it a 4 but our server (Giana C.). was so rude. Rolled her eyes multiple times, told us to hurry up, and got mad when we only put 18% tip… honestly, just skip the place if this is how they treat others.

We ordered the Chicken Parm ala Vodka Fries, as well as 2 Summer 2025 Breakfast Paninis with Home Fries and their Chipotle Aioli. The food was excellent, everything was really tasty and would recommend!

Honestly, food was great - large and on charge... everything was well proportioned to the advantage of the patron. Highly recommend the salmon bowl - so good. The chicken wings are perfection... get without sauces on them and twist on the side to dip instead... crispy and delish. Entities else was tasty as well. Only thing that bothered me is someone who apparently worked there was having her hair braided and messed with at a table in the middle of the diner... it was distracting and inappropriate. But whatever... food was great and service on point. Well recommended.
