And Jay was our waiter and treated us so well. He entertained my request to find out how the drink(figet bout it) I had was made! Very personable and great to talk to."

The chicken is cooked just right—tender and juicy. I also tried the pulled pork from my partner's nachos, which was wonderfully melt-in-your-mouth and deeply savory. Overall, a very satisfying meal with just a small adjustment needed on the seasoning."

The presentation was tidy, and it arrived on fresh rye with sauerkraut or similar, corned beed and some ketchup and mayo for the french fries. There was no thousand Island dressing. While everything was competently assembled, almost, the flavors never quite came together in a memorable way—it was pleasant enough, but far from spectacular. The bar area itself was comfortable and pleasantly quiet, with only a handful of patrons scattered at the countertop. Despite the low volume of guests, I wasn’t checked on after my food arrived. When I realized I needed a little extra kick, I had to do some searching then spotting and reaching behind the bar myself to track down a bottle of hot sauce. A quick “How is everything?” or routine check-in from the bartender would have made the experience feel more attentive. Overall suggestions: • Prompt service follow-ups: Have bartenders pause mid-shift to ask guests if they need condiments, napkins or refills along with a brief smile. • Table-side accessibility: Keep commonly requested items (spices, sauces) within easy reach or offer them proactively. • Flavor enhancement: Consider offering a house-made relish or mustard to elevate a classic sandwich like the Reuben."

The shaved beef "intern" was tasty but the sourdough bread is the wrong choice(they should go back to their French roll) as its very hard ( like the bread is really hard and hurt my gums) to eat plus very greasy. The fries I got were cold but tasted solid and aoli I paid extra for was pretty much just mayo. Also everything was pretty salty and the southwest salad has all the cheese in it.. I had a good time but writing this review made me realize the only solid food was the burger which I really enjoyed ."
