This place is such a pleasant surprise!!
Definitely underrated.
Located right next to Winchester garage, so it's kind of hidden, but it's a total gem!
Came here with my friends for a dinner (didn't make a reservation, but it wasn't too busy so we got seated right away).
Plentiful indoor and outdoor seating available.
The indoor seating was dimly lit, but the room felt too warm and stuffy to comfortably.

Food
Irish Nachos: such a pleasant surprise! Even though it's "fries" it's not like the long skinny kind. Circles of potatoes sliced thinly enough where you won't have a mouthful of grittiness (I think potatoes are gritty) but thick enough to hold toppings you want; every topping worked well with these fries--it was a good mix between fresh (tomatoes, jalapeños) and oily (cheese).
Could eat by myself, but then I wouldn't have enough space for my entree. Shared with 2 others and felt satisfied with the few forkfuls I ate.
Portobello Mushroom Sandwich: was debating between this and the salad and I DON'T regret going for the sandwich!
The bread was slightly toasted, warm, but still soft! The cheese was well melted on the mushroom, and the veggies were enough veggies where I didn't feel like I was just getting a mouthful of mushrooms. The fries that came with it were sooo good; didn't seem like they were stale or old at all.
It's not a hefty sandwich by any means, but it was still filling and hit the spot!
Blackened chicken: the sauce was pretty good! And it had chunks of (bleu?) cheese. I don't remember being disappointed by the chicken, but I also don't remember wishing I got this instead of my salad. The veggies add a nice lighter taste (my friend said they were cooked well; not raw or over cooked mush).
Fire Burger: my friend wanted something spicy and said this wasn't as spicy as she anticipated, but it was still really good and she enjoyed her food!
Crispy Apple Pie: THIS. THIS IS IT. It was big enough to share between the 3 of us after our big meal (we barely finished it). The ice cream was a decent, almost hefty, sized scoop; strawberries added a nice, fresh taste. My friend who hates sweets LOVED this. She was shocked by how addicting this pie was.
The pastry was so flaky, crispy, and warm. The apples are more towards the center and baked to a wonderful texture.

Drinks
The watermelon cocktail was sweet but not as sweet as the peach mixed drink. I love sweet, so even though the watermelon one was okay, I liked my peach one way better.
The mule was also good; tasted how I expected a mule to taste.
