"Don?t judge this restaurant from the outside at all. The outside looks like nothing to speak of, but when you leave you will have a lot of good things to say that may include: efficient staff; uncluttered seating; clean comfortable bathrooms, outdoordining available; family dining, date worthy, large group hang out, after-work-crowd, don?t feel like-cooking; surprise-guestsdropped in to spend the day-type of place to go eat. Huge bar space and hung TV?s make Singles feel at ease also. This hotchicken sandwich is a delicious full meal. I took half of it home after having some spicy sweet chili calamari and sharing theA-mazing arugula salad with goat cheese, candied walnuts and cranberries pre-tossed with a very light balsamic vinaigrette.Honestly I could have had a trough of that salad alone and been just fine. The teriyaki chicken Bowl with quinoa was good andcould have been better if it was less salty. The Southwestern salad with chicken was really good according to a member of ourgroup. There is an impressive number of beers on tap, either 30 or 50 was the number stated by our cheerful server. Was let downabout the cocktails, though. Seriously did not enjoy either that I tried. I sent back the first, ?Jameson Cold Brew? (what theheck was that ???? and did not have the heart to do the same with the grapefruit margarita, jalapeño-cilantro infused simplesyrup thing that I ordered after. The cocktail menu overall seems quite over-ambitious with mixtures of ingredients that don?tquite go together. It might be worth the extra two stars to invest in a mixologist to put together a new cocktail menu for thisfun place the locals enjoy. Or maybe skip them altogether and let the beers rule."
