Mike and team did a great job as always. Food and service were on point. Everything was cooked to order, fresh and drinks were always filled. Staff continued to check on us throughout the whole meal. Loved my mushroom burger and fresh made onion rings. Family enjoyed Caesar salad with Salmon, steak sandwich, boneless wings and sweet potato fries.

Stopped here on a whim and was seated immediately. It's for sure a step up from the typical bar/pub fare. This is one of the many places on Main St. to get a decent meal, but they set themselves apart with the extra touches. If you were paying for a date, I think you're looking at about $100 for a party of two with mains, an appetizer and some drinks (good luck if you like to 'em back). Good: -Smokehouse Burger -Buddha Bowl with steak -Chicken wings -expansive menu -not too crowded -comfortable setup & décor -good ambiance Bad: -none

I came here for brunch because it wasnt crowded like the other local places. Its a cool vibe; music is nice and not too loud. I sat at the bar and was hosted by John. OMG he is the best mixologist! You know when a bartender knows their stuff. He made me a coconut margarita and it was so smooth. He also recommended the Reuben sandwich which was great. I had it with salad. I would definitely recommend this place. Make sure John makes your drinks!

Used to be a library and has become such a cute restaurant! The drinks are named after authors and books, and tasted delicious! Food was delish, we enjoyed our shared appetizers and our meals. Fried chicken sandwich, Cobb salad, and burrito bowl were a hit. Service was fantastic! We had a group of 12 walk over from the funeral home and they were so accommodating to fit us!!

Stopped in for a drink on a Thursday night. First time here. I was surprised to see a pretty decent crowd and yet the bartenders were so attentive and nice. The drink: Edith Wharton: Age of Innocence 15 Ketel One Citroen / Cointreau / Fresh Lime / Cranberry - was fantastic. Definitely looking forward to coming back to eat.

Came here recently for a Sunday brunch. Had a reservation which is recommended, or else it would've been a 45min-1hr wait. Service was a bit slow due to being busy, assuming so -- but then again still waited a while to get the check once people cleared out later in the after noon. The food was delicious and served hot. Absolutely loved the SpinDip as it came with both pita and tortilla chips. Would like to come back to try the dinner menu. Inside was clean and inviting with booths and an upstairs.
