Terrible Service
The manager on Saturday (Oct. 5, 2002) is a disaster.
She told me to leave the bar twice, after I touched my own face. The manager said that she thought I was falling a sleep, but I wasn't. I was just touching my face. This is ridiculous.
How can she say such a thing to a guest?!

The food was not bad...    [05 Oct 2002 23:45:46]

Unexpected Menu
The first time there we had to drag an anti-trendy friend kicking and screaming into the bar, but although the decor is trendy and modern, the menu is quite a surprise. Items like burgers, wings and french fries are front and center on the menu. The service was good for a crowded bar (many were there just to drink) and the check was less that you would expect the first time you walk in.    [07 Jan 2003 11:56:48]

Peaceful, but bustling atmosphere, diverse crowd
The modern decor was what first attracted me to go inside, but the bathrooms are probably the best part of the bar/restaurant and makes you want to go back again. The food is pretty good, although the menu lacks variety. However, the atmosphere is an important aspect. It is calm and the crowd is diverse, which doesn't make anyone feel out of place.    [08 Mar 2003 21:44:27]

Nasty Server
The server was upset because we did not give her an 18% tip. So she came and approached our party as to why we did not giver an 18% tip. I thought she had a lot of nerve and it was something that was overlooked. We actually gave her a 15% tip because that is what we give our servers in our state but that took nerve. Plus we did not have to give her anything.    [17 Aug 2004 12:02:36]

Pretty Good
Lots of tourists, but food and drinks are good--big portions, moderately priced. The bathrooms are cool, but I've been here numerous times so it's lost its spark with me. Nice servers.    [01 Feb 2006 13:37:58]
