Famed Beef borgionon, and beer selection was not available, fries were ok but did not taste of duck fat (or where crisp), the pot pie tasted cooked way in advance and not spice profiled. Waiter did try but for the price level your better elseware. Food was mediocre and settled for drink selection. Does seem like a lot of effort is being made here. Lots of solo diners. The fish and chips did smell on point though.

The food was great and so was the mimosa flight. My favorite was the prickly pear mimosa. All the staff were very kind and took good care of us!

I ordered to go but let me just say I am a VERY picky eater plus I'm pregnant right now. I almost don't like anything but I ordered some beer battered fish omg SAM y'all did y'all thing. Crispy, perfect amount of flavor. The malt vinegar and lemon just made an entire party on my taste buds. My pregnant self will be back a few times ☺️
