The owner was extremely rude to a person in our party and really put a damper on the rest of our brunch. I will say the wait staff were friendly and helpful.

would NOT recommend. My food was cold when it came out (I ordered a grilled cheese with fries) along with another 2 of the other people's food (mussels and steak). The friend who got the steak ordered it medium and they made it well, maybe medium well in one part of it and they said their cooks would just make it like that again so it was a waste to have them put another on. The one guy in our group ordered a burger medium, not sure how they managed this but half was well done and the other half medium. I personally went to school for culinary and believe they made all the food at once and those of us with simple food had our food just sitting waiting for the longer to make items to get done instead of timing it out based on how long they take to cook. The waitress didn't ask til right before we left if we wanted more to drink (Close to an hour my drink sat empty). With the above mentioned to the manager, I had to specifically ask for a discount of some sort for the poor service. I only ate my grilled cheese and not my fries along with the problem food items not being finished cause of them being cold or made incorrectly. I personally have no issue paying for what I eat but when it isn't what I ordered or the quality isn't there, it isn't right to make us pay full price. Many other tables had the manager over as well. Overall not impressed one bit and we won't be back.

Found a hair in my drink and was still required to pay. I was offered a new drink but of course I didn't drink that. DISGUSTING!

It's a family friendly bar that specializes in America's favorite appetizers and comfort food. It's nice enough. Of the food we got - all off of the appetizer list for happy hour pricing - the chicken strips were great, the fried pickles were tasty, the sliders were ok and the chips and guacamole were subpar. The chips were stale and came with an uncooked ziti noodle. The service was very nice.

Ridiculous rule that won't allow you in wearing sweatpants after 10pm. Doesn't make much sense.. it's not like it is a well dressed environment. And to not let a whole group of people in, over the fact that they are wearing sweatpants is a little far.

We came for St. Patty's & there was no music playing not a good vibe! Bartenders were cool & the tenders were seasoned just right! We also had to clean the table off of water & stuff from the rain! I like this place but tonight they disappointed me.

Rude bouncers and crappy bartenders…

Husband and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat and some drinks. Kim was the absolute best bartender! We never had to ask for refills or water- she was on it! Will definitely stop back in when we're in the area.

The bouncers harass college girls and abuse their power. The owners are rude. The other reviews about "not playing black music" fit the vibe that we had there as well. Much better places in Towson.

This is absolutely a college bar, which means it's no place for a 5 star meal. Their rooftop is huge and open, and so nice when they weather is warm. Bartenders and service have always been great during my experiences. Their menu has definitely improved. I personally like their ahi tuna. This is mostly a place for bar food and sandwiches and the later it gets the younger the crowd gets.

My family has a great time here every time we go! The staff is thoughtful and attentive. The owners and managers are creative and regularly come up with great activities and experiences for guests of all ages!

Pretty good place. We had good service, and the food was really good. My friend got wings and nachos. The nachos were piled high, and the wings were delicious. I got the lemon pepper chicken along with a side salad and roasted peppers/onions. It was really good, cooked well. Our waitress was really pleasant and had great timing. I'd definitely return here.

Very rude, unaccommodating unprofessional staff. My party waited over an hour to be seated. And parties without a reservation larger than ours got seated first.
