“The chorizo salmon is the standout dish of the restaurant. It is a wonderful feeling when you order a dish and the waiter replies, “great choice” and you can tell they genuinely mean it. I have never had salmon cooked to such a perfect temperature upon request. They got it spot-on at the first try, indicating that when they cook seafood, they do so in a deliberate and expert manner.“

“My first time at Via's recently and I am impressed! Although pricey, which is to br expected, the food all had amazing flavor profiles. I absolutely loved the ricotta ball with crustinis, the blend of cheese with the honey topping was the perfect bite. The chicken orzo soup was quite possibly the best soup I have ever had in my life! So flavorful and rich! And the drinks were perfection. To top the night, we had the Gelato cones, and the Gelato it's self tasted like it was straight from Italy. Creamy, but light, indulgent and flavorful! I can't wait to come back!!“

“ok, not what i expected, an OLD bar, and perhaps a little dusty here and there, nice collection of taxidermy, looks like an often locals place, yet with a certain ambiance, not too crowded for lunch today, service, the bartender was wonderful, informative and funny, the drinks were very good, the menu did not exist, meatball or sausage sub, a cheese board or some sort or a pasta dish, the meatballs were good yet were contained in a mountain of bread, interesting different, ok... they have a wonderfully full menu of music however and that should keep it pretty interesting, heck, a trip to the men's room and all the inscriptions on the walls and doors was interesting!!!!!!!!“

The guy sitting next to us won a game he was playing, and bought drinks for everyone at the bar including us. Very comfortable atmosphere. Women's bathroom was very clean.

“I really like this place. We've been here 8-10 times at this point. The food is fairly consistent (I have always liked my meals, but my friends sometimes don't have as much luck). I like their pretzel bites, chicken sandwiches, and burgers - it's a cool touch to have the OBT logo on the buns. Their dessert menu also has a few great options. Drinks are pretty good, and they have cute seasonal cocktails. Service is decent, but I haven't found the host/hostesses very friendly or welcoming - they seem as though they are sometimes annoyed they need to sit people, especially if you have more than 2 people in your party - but maybe they've been having off evenings when I've been there. My only criticisms would be the size of their soft drink cups (which it looks like they have improved, yay!!) and their closing time of 9pm SHARP. If they wish to close at this time, they should stop seating tables a lot earlier than they do. There isn't much communication about last call from the bar (this also includes refills for soft drinks) or last call for the kitchen. One time, we were not able to order dessert because the kitchen had closed - but our waitress never warned us of this. Most recently, we ordered/ate our food in 45 mins, which I think is very speedy, but I still felt rushed by the staff. Our server seemed more focused on cleaning than service, they turned off the music to ensure our quick exit, and stared at us as we walked out at 9:05. I really expected better service for the price of the food. Not sure if I'll be back any time soon, but I'd still recommend them for an early dinner or lunch.“

I was very happy with the Irish Pizza appetizer.Dietary restrictions: I have a Gluten Allergy and was happy to see several options. Our server was quick to inform me that they do not use a dedicated fryer, when I asked about potato skins. The potatoes are cooked entirely in the oven to make them safe. I felt like she clearly understood my concern and was able to answer my question.I had the Reuben sandwich, which came on a Udi's roll. I think I would skip that in the future based on the roll. I'm excited to try the Pork Chop dinner. And the Irish Pizza was a lot of fun.“
