"This Gastropub has some great happy hour specials and a pretty decent beverage menu. I went there for the first time with my family and met my brother and his family this past weekend. My brother recommended this place for dinner and it did not disappoint! They were able to accommodate our large party with the existing reservation we had! I highly recommend making a reservation for a weekend evening! Goes without saying right? The appetizers were good, but I wish the portions for the crispy pork belly were larger since it is pretty pricey. The crispy wings were really good, and everyone else enjoyed the Mediterranean Falafel and Grilled artichoke dip. The appetizers are pretty pricey, I would recommend trying the Pork Belly and Wings! We ordered various drinks for appetizers as well. I'm not a wine connoisseur, but the Inscription Pinot Noir I ordered was meh.For dinner, I had the Short Rib Pasta which was mouth-watering and fantastic. I highly recommend ordering this! I was having trouble from choosing the short rib or the steak sandwich/cheeseburger, but I'm glad I went with the short rib pasta! The shrimp pasta, cheeseburger, whiskey salmon, and hot chicken sandwich were all ordered and loved! I ordered a side of five cheese mac and cheese with chicken and it was great! You literally get a small grilled chicken breast cut into strips on top of the mac! Fantastic! We skipped dessert as everyone was full! The kids did not complain as they all devoured their dishes!The service is fantastic and there is plenty of parking on the street or available in the lots downtown. They have a brunch menu available on the weekends that looks tremendous. Chicken Biscuit Sliders, French Toast, Breakfast Burritos, and Biscuits and Gravy! I'm Hungry again! Give this place a chance if looking for a great meal, you will not be disappointed!"

"Planned on heading to the Depot for a nice dinner durning Restaurant week. However, contrary to the times posted on their website, they are only server food until 8pm on Tuesday Nights. Trying to salvage the night we headed over to the Brew Works for a “safe” meal. In retrospect it was a bad move. An hour later and $60 less rich, we left VERY disapointed. Okay, so the brew works was never really known for its cullenary magic, but they have had some things that were pretty fine. To name a few; Cheese Soup, Chili, Chicken BBQ Sandwich, Kobe Burger, etc. However, their dinners and salads are really poor. Started with Chili. That was actually very good. The spinach dip just doesn’t move me. First off it is served with chips, second it is weak. The special Ravioli in the vodka sauce would have lost a battle to canned Chef Boyardee. It was truely bad. The buffalo chicken salad was also really week. Poor choice on my part, but I was expecting something slightly better than low grade chicken fingers drenched in overly spicy and not so tasty sauce. The salad was straight from a bag of mixed iceberg, carrot shreads, and cabbage. Just not so good. Okay maybe they can turn it around with desert, right? No. Definitly not. It sounded great, but wasn’t. Apple Crisp, but they ran out of Ice Cream. Even if they would have had the ice cream it would have been poor. The Cranberry Apple Bread Pudding seemed like a sure win. Once again, no. It was semi dry and flavorless. Stick to the sandwiches and the beers. The kobe burger is great even for $15."
