"I returned here after 8 years. Before, I came for their weekend brunches, but they no longer do it. So came here as a big party of 15 with a dinner reservation on a Saturday. We were seated right away at our table that was ready even though some of our party members were running a little late. Ordering was difficult. It is being left on each person or a family member to scan the QR code to start a tab and place orders; zero interaction with a server. Some of our party had questions about some of the menu items, but it took a while to get a server to ask those questions. One of the party members was impatient and just ordered a mac n cheese, which was what they thought was the right one, but ended up being a different. Drinks other than water took a while to get. The beer they had from their line and other partners were good. They do offer smaller 4oz tasters of the draft beer if you want to try different ones. The food was okay from what most of the party said. I got to try the seasonal Asada Fries, which was spicy, but not much flavor. I ordered the Grass-fed burger, which was okay, and not a top-five burger for me. I wouldn't order a burger if I came again. Closing out the tab was done through the QR/web, again cutting out any interaction with a server. One party member kept getting errors when they went to pay their check, so they ended up going up to the bar to close the tab. From what I remember, the place and atmosphere looks like it has not changed since being here last time. It's definitely not up to the good memories of the food and atmosphere. I would probably just come back for their beer at the bar, and maybe takeaway a growler."
