This is a great spot to meet friends but I do miss the couches on the patio where I used to sit and read in the summer. Their drinks menu is always updated. Got the Chocolate Pecan Martini and my friend got the Sweetheart Martini which has White Chocolate liqueur, Rumchata and Grenadine for the pink color. Both were delicious. My friend ordered the Pear Salad but substituted feta for the Gorgonzola and added chicken. I got the risotto special which came with poached salmon, which I exchanged for grilled salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. I usually bring part of my entree home but the risotto was so good and the right size, so I just finished it off! If you are debating what to order, definitely go for the short rib entree - the perfect comfort food over mashed potatoes! I love the cozy couches inside and the dark lighting which gives a very intimate feel. I would love to sit at the bar or the kitchen bar sometime, but have sat in the side dining room, the main dining room and patio at various times. All great spots, although the main dining area was a little chilly by the door one visit and the hostess kindly moved us to an interior table. The lighting in the newer dining area is brighter if that matters to you.

I was with a group of 10 and, for the most part, we had the room to ourselves. Everyone raved about their food, and we had the best waitress who gave us fabulous service. She gave us separate checks, too. Well definitely go back.

Happy Hour was a fun experience! Delicious seasonal drinks and great selection of apps. Recommend the cheeseburger egg rolls & mini hot dogs.

Busy and quite popular pub, with excellent happy hour drink and food specials. This is a very different spot than its Hartford namesake, with lots of seating and a full menu.

Excellent food. Has a New York City eclectic vibe. Classy and fun. Large wine list, and good service.

Not bad, afraid of flavor. Had 4 plates all pretty bland. Good service.Had to get a pizza from Luna after...
Stopped in for a quick appetizer and drink. Absolutely THE BEST corn chowder I've ever had!!

Bad experience! We went there for a weekday lunch & were seated in a side room then forgotten. Finally someone brought water & sent someone to take our orders. Then we waited with empty glasses for over 40 minutes. Someone finally told us that our food had been given to the wrong people. More waiting. Food finally comes & was terrible, bad combo of flavors. (flatbread & panini, how do you mess that up?) Took 2 bites & hunted down server for the bill. Staff was apologetic & friendly but no offer of discount for wait. Will not be back.

I'm extremely disappointed that I have to leave such a low rating. So my husband and I have been to this establishment multiple times and decided to invite friends we haven't seen in over 10 years. I made reservations, so we can have a decent section to sit. my husband and I knew what we wanted to order since we've been here a few times but our guess have never been. We just got our seats and we kind of felt a little rushed by the server because she was trying to take our order the moment we looked at the menu. She also looked really uncomfortable serving our group but we didn't let that bother us since we were so happy to see each other. My friend and I ordered one of the holiday margaritas and noticed we ended up getting the wrong drinks. Her husband also order a beer and received the can without a glass. while looking around the restaurant, we noticed everyone who had a beer received a glass including my husband. I asked the server if she can grab a glass but she never brought it to the table. At this point I ended up walking to the bar to grab one. we continued to have our conversations and noticed time was going, and we still haven't seen the waitress to place our orders. she finally came over after quite a while, and we placed our orders for appetizers and meals at the same time just in case she decide to not show back up to the table. my food came out cold, but I didn't make it a big deal. we ended up ordering another round of drinks and the server ended up grabbing the glass that I got from the bar and came back with a can of beer without a glass. at this point, it's like what is going on. while we were eating the workers kept trying to take our plates off the table. My friend had her fork in her hand and was actively eating her meal and the same server asked her if she was done With the plate so she can take it away . my husband was very disappointed and asked if we can have our bill which was over $250. we felt so uncomfortable about the service we received. I was very shocked and embarrassed about this place. I actually spoke highly about it to my friends, and they wanted to check it out. I can't believe what we went through. at this point I just couldn't leave her a tip. I couldn't like it was just an awful experience and we just wanted to get out of the place so we paid a bill and walked out. on our way out of the establishment. The server ran after us and told us we must give her 20% tip now! because she believed her service was excellent. we all looked at each other like are you serious we paid the bill and you did not deserve a 20% tip after that service you have given us. We just wanted to get out of there, so my friend handed her, her card and say take what you want off of this we don't have time for this. And she walked off and said I will have my manager handle you guys. Like I can't believe we spend our hard working money at a place to be treated like trash. We could have easily spend over $300.00 on food and drinks but the service we received made us leave. The server could've easily gotten a nice tip that day as well, but my Gosh she needs to reevaluate how she treats people of other cultural backgrounds. I mean the manager come out and talk to us and she was very nice but it's kinda too late at this point. I'm still embarrassed and I don't think I can ever return to this place or send any of my friends over there. we are very hard-working people, and we took a moment to let our hair down and rekindle a friendship that has never died, but we all own business and are very busy. i'm just leaving this with you hoping this never happens to anyone else.

Seating is tight and not designed for lingering. Food is $20 - $33 an entree and drinks avg $13. Kitchen is tiny but efficient. Food was a tad overcooked and lacked flavor. Service staff were kind and attentive. I'll prob go across the street for pizza next time.

Bin228 Gastropub My friend had a cheeseburger and fries. They have all kinds of fancy ones but she chose a simple burger. She loved it. I had a crab cake and chopped salad. The crab cake tasted like something that was bought frozen and you popped in the oven. The salad was good. On the positive side, the desserts were yummy and the bathroom was cute. Overall, I wasn’t impressed. The server had a big puss face and was not inviting at all. Not excited to return.
