I have visited this establishment three times now and I find it to be average.The food is good, although I did send back the pot pie I order on my first visit, the vegetables were too undercooked for a pot pie in my opinion.The second time I was alone and had a cheeseburger with fries, it was great, and the potato soup sounded good, and my server was very friendly, so I went back again the next day for the soup.Well, on my third visit to get the soup I ordered from the person who greeted me because I knew what I wanted, and was served by the bus person, as usual no problems, but when was done and ready to go I figured my own bill and left the cash, because I never saw another person and no one ever come to my table to address me in any way.I don’t think I will go back, not sure what I did but regulars they don’t seem to want.

Looking for a nice upscale Irish pub in the neighborhood then you have to give Wilde a try. You’lll almost always find my husband and I there for brunch on the weekend and they have a great patio when the weather is nice.

Beautiful ambiance, but food was not very good and way overpriced. I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich it was too thin and way overcooked. Plus, it wasn’t spicy at all and I don’t have super high spice tolerance.My wife, who is celiac, ordered a gluten free grilled cheese - it was terrible. What’s even worse was that despite having an entire gluten free menu, the sandwich was cross-contaminated with gluten and triggered an allergic reaction.Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten free menu, but they allow cross-contamination, so they do a terrible job.

beautiful facility. run well by an attentive staff. the food occasionally leaves something to be desired if you have a more robust flavor palette, but this bar is definitely top tier!

First time at this place. Food and drinks were excellent. Our server , Paige was awesome! Tyler the manager was so accommodating and pleasant. All employees were very friendly. Espresso Martini’s were outstanding! Currie fries were delicious. Chicken pot pie … yum. Cherry pie desert … to die for! Love the atmosphere as well. Can’t wait to go back!

Stopped by for some food and drinks after the Blue Man Group show. The place has a very cool vibe and the cocktails were spot on. The food was hit or miss. I got the fish sandwich which was pretty good, my wife got the Mac n cheese but it was so bad she sent it back, first time she has ever sent anything back. Somehow they made Mac n cheese with bacon taste absolutely bland. My daughter got the chocolate cake with ice cream and loved it. What I hated was the 2.9% credit card fee they added to the bill. Management passed it on to me and I then passed it on to the server by deducting it from the tip.

A fantastic spot, especially at a time like St. Patty’s day when we went. The owner was gracious enough to allow my sister’s boyfriend to use this place for proposing to my sister. She personally came in before the restaurant opened to open it up for us. She did not charge any money but just requested we dine there after. To be frank, we likely would have dined here whether or not she asked, as the food was delicious! The place got busy very quickly after opening, a true testament to popularity of this establishment. Our waitress was extremely accommodating and friendly. 10/10 would recommendVegetarian options: They do allow you to take out meat in many dishes.Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids and families present.

Cute place - great atmosphere. Lots of Old Fashioneds on the menu. Wish the drink menu was a little more diverse. Standard pub food.

I arrived here on a Tuesday evening alone and went to the hostess stand to be seated but she seemed a little confused as to what I wanted till I told her I was dining in. Perhaps she assumed I ordered takeout ? but she directed me to a tiny table at the end next to a father seated with his child. I figured it might get a bit claustrophobic so I requested a more comfortable table just three seats away from them so they could have their privacy and I'd be more cozy.My waitress introduced herself to me right away and I didn't request a menu because I really wanted to try their version of a Ceasar salad. I kind of wish I had scanned their menu code because she went through the 3 tiers of caesar salad ? too rapidly and suggested I also choose a protein to go with the knife ? and fork ? version of their caesar salad. She of course suggested the two most expensive ? proteins without even mentioning tofu so between the shrimp ? or the chicken ? or salmon I decided on the blackened salmon since I wanted to keep my salad ? healthy.Bread doesn't accompany the salad however so when I asked if bread could be added my server suggested a roll for an additional $2 so I decided against it.Now to describe the salad ? itself. The romaine lettuce was cut in long wedges and grilled and there was a sprinkling of cheese ? at the top shredded into slivers instead of large pieces. The salmon was burned ? but still tasty. I was extremely disappointed that there weren't any hard boiled eggs or anchovies and instead of bold croutons they gave me four thinly sliced toasted slices of sourdough. I found out later my bill came out to $30 plus tip for an extremely expensive caesar salad ? and 1 lemonade. It really felt like I had been hustled by my server so she could get me to spend the most amount of money ? for a salad. If I could do a redo I would have picked their traditional caesar salad without a protein added and that way I would have spent much less money on just 1 salad.The couple who were seated next to me chose mussels which come with bread ? and their meal looked way better than mine and they spent much less money ? than I did.It would have been nice to receive complimentary bread ? especially since the croutons tend to be the best part of a caesar salad ? and their version wasn't as exciting or tasty. I guess because I'm a carb junkie the lack of croutons and bread ? really bothered me.In summary I was definitely disappointed in my selection. It was the most expensive salad ? I'd ever ordered in my life and definitely not as creative as I would have liked especially since anchovies are usually included as a major ingredient in most authentic caesar salads.The atmosphere here is casual and comfortable and everything is decorated and painted in a brown motif. It's a very "masculine" vibe a place where people tend to order fancy beers ? and cocktails with their friends. I would definitely come back in the future but only for macaroni and cheese or some other dish like chicken ? pot pie ? or shepherds pie.The caesar salad ? felt underwhelming and incomplete but I'm a foodie and maybe my standards are higher. I suggest you peruse the menu very carefully before ordering so you don't end up overspending beyond your means.

I suggest you peruse the menu very carefully before ordering so you don't end up overspending beyond your means. In summary this is a cozy spot for couples or family. But as a single woman dining alone I wasn't happy that initially my hostess wanted to seat me right next to a single dad dining alone with his child when there were so many empty seats not too far away. I'm relieved that she let me choose a seat further away from them because his child got a lot louder later on and they needed their privacy to enjoy their family time. This restaurant is good for couples who want to share drinks and appetizers. I wouldn't call it the best dining experience out there but the vibes are cozy and casual. My salad was overpriced for what I received so I don't recommend it if you're seeking authentic Caesar salad prepared the typical way its made. I'd love to come here again for outside seating wit
