my colleagues and i would go there for happy hour purely bc it's conveniently located in our area, but once and again, if you arrive too late you won't even get one of the few tables in the bar (as opposed to dinner) section because they'll either be occupied or reserved. waiter service has been apathetic at best and sometimes bordering on rude. on a good day, you can order one thing at a time coz they'd usually disappear before your first sentence ends. we've had mostly bar food (sweet potato fries rock! some like their pretzels), but main courses... i can't really find much that suits me (could be an cultural thing but i'm not used to calling a link of sausage and some mashed potato dinner). i once had a dish i think it's some kind of stewed beef (i probably can't pronounce the name correctly); the sauce was good but meat too dry and chewy. only reason to return? they're one of the few places i know that serve hoegaarden (belgium white beer), and sweet potato fries. one thing special about this place is that they have a live piano sing-along group that gathers every friday night. they have a whole book of lyrics for anyone (old and new) who inclines to join. they're hardcore man! :)
Pros: sweet potato fries, friday sing-along group
Cons: sub-par waiter service
