"After a temporary closure for a facelift, the 15-year Henderson Avenue staple reopened with a climate-controlled front porch, a new side beer garden, and interior updates; the bar menu was revamped by Midnight Rambler’s Gabe Sanchez and the operation is owned by Headington Companies. The all-day menu leans into comforting crowd-pleasers—spinach-parmesan dip, tortilla soup, a giant soft, pillowy pretzel served with whipped butter and beer mustard, burgers, a club sandwich, chicken-fried steak, and a rich short rib stroganoff with pappardelle—while a surprise standout is the grilled salmon bowl: coconut citrus rice topped with perfectly cooked salmon, edamame, pickled carrots, cucumber, radish, scallion, mango pico, and avocado nori aioli. The classic, well-executed house burger is served to temperature and satisfies, and the stroganoff is hearty enough to share. Drinks are a highlight: a martini made with gin, blanc vermouth, and Salers is normally $16 but is offered for $2 all day on Tuesdays ('Tini Tuesday'), and the cocktail list includes Old Fashioned, Negroni, margarita, originals like a pepper smash, five mocktails, and a solid wine selection. With colorful new booths, a modest-volume modern pop/rock playlist, unpretentious but comfortable service, and seating that suits couples, groups, or solo diners at the long bar, the space works equally well for casual after-work visits or a dressier night out." - Kevin Gray
