I ate here a few years ago and it was great. I have tried to go back three times, including last night, and have been met with chaos and poor service leading us to go somewhere else every single time. There is no organization in terms of someone finding you a table. If staff put your name down, it would save some stress and we would’ve just sat at the bar a bit waiting. Instead, regulars/people who came after swiftly took tables that opened up. For a place so small, half the tables were reserved. I get taking reservations, but maybe do it on an online platform so I would’ve seen there was no availability ? Or thought to myself to make a reservation. Lastly, I have to sadly agree with one of the reviews below about the female bartender. She honestly was no help on multiple occasions and just wanted to continue talking to her friends. Hopefully I can actually eat here again one day as the food is amazing.

Great place for a pre-show casual dinner and drink. I was here on a Friday night right before Les Mis and got a seat at the bar right away. Nice selection of beers on tap, and the grilled cheese special was delicious.

Could give zero if I could. I had the worst food poisoning of my life. Literally on the bathroom floor drenched in sweat.

The restaurant has interesting, unique and creative food not just typical bar food. I like they have many choices of sides for burgers ? and sandwiches. For my personal preference, the food is a little blunt l need more flavor, but overall what we had were good.

Such a great experience here. Although it was extremely busy with the shows going on at Proctors we had excellent service and a very attentive waitress. The food…AMAZING. Best burger I have ever had. Had the backstage burger with truffle fries. The “bacon jam” that came on it was amazing, the backstage sauce was fantastic. Everything was so tasty. They even have gluten free buns. We will definitely be back in the future. Highly recommend.
1st time here. I'll be back. Unbelievable, Fantastic Bloody Mary's. What a treat. Great soup at the Stroll.UPDATE...1/31/24Stopped by tonight for a drink and something to eat. The bartender ignored us. The person delivering the food indicated the tables were reserved. When I finally got the bartenders attention she was rude and kept saying how busy they were. That was very obvious. I asked if the tables in the bar were available, were people at the bar waiting, were they also reserved. No straight answer. I told her to forget the drinks and I'll go someplace else. First and last time here. I can't tell you anything else about the place, but service is everything. I was willing to wait, have a couple of drinks and order a a bite to eat. We left and spent a hundred bucks someplace else.

I stopped in with my brother-in-law after a doctor's appointment downtown. We were both impressed with the entire experience, from the staff, the food, the cleanliness, everything about it was top notch. The server was very attentive despite a full house. The food was plentiful and delicious! Definitely will be coming back and I highly recommend this quaint little place to everyone!!!
