Ok let's start with the good, the place is stunning, the remodel certainly did wonders to the building. They lost a lot of seating on the upper levels by taking them out, but it really makes this place bright, airy and elegant. Seating I feel is less than previously, but maybe I'm wrong. Patio is still there, but missing chairs, I hope this doesn't stay as standing only? We loved the patio seating before, especially when the weather is as good as it is right now. Plenty of TVs to watch sports all over, nice option outside of game day.
Ok let's look at the food, we got two sandwiches, both were amazing for pub grub. Delicious, high end versions of the standard. The negative, who charges $3 extra for fries? Burgers need to come with fries, chips can be an option, but I shouldn't have to pay for fries. I know it's a new thing tacking on extra cost for stuff that really needs to come with the particular food, but I hate to feel like paying a resort fee - fries fee (maybe a new thing?). Add it to the final cost on the menu and don't bother annoying people with it. Now moving on to the cheesecake that we were able to try, a cloud of wonderful yumminess, I can't even say the last time I had a dessert as good as this... Makes me excited to try what else will be on the dessert menu once it comes out.
Service was good, they were a little overwhelmed, but I'm not surprised... day 1 chaos. I also appreciate that mgmt knew this is the first day and people were waiting for a long time. We did, 1:45h isn't something I would normally do, but I really really wanted to try it. They did give out some freebies to make sure the waiting crowd is happy, so good job on that and cheers.
We'll be back for sure, let's see if they can iron out some of the problems and make a great thing even better.
