Iron Rail Tavern Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Stacie W.

    AWESOME!!! We've been wanting to check out the Iron Rail Tavern for a while now, so when my brother & sister in law wanted to treat us to a birthday dinner, we chose this place. We checked out the menu on line and thought it could be ok. Boy, where we wrong... This place is FANTASTIC! There was an open table in the bar, so there was no real wait time. I'm not positive, but it seems like our waiter was also the bartender. He was fun and knowledgeable about the menu and offered suggestions that were on point. We ordered four different dishes so we could try a little bit of everything. We had the handmade tater tots, the rib eye with onion rings and mac and cheese, the tavern cordon bleu, the beef tips, and the southern fried chicken. Everything was delicious. The poblano white cheddar mashed potatoes with sausage gravy was a huge hit. So rich and creamy! The rib eye was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. We also tried a couple dessert, the lemon poppy seed cake and the chocolate peanut butter cake...so good! And the drinks...not the usual bar cocktails. Perfectly mixed and so refreshing. The staff was great. Everyone was attentive and fun. Definitely check them out, I know we will definitely be back! Cheers!

    I was staying in a hotel a couple of miles west, and wasn't really in the mood for heading downtown. After reading some positive reviews here, I decided to head over. I was immediately welcomed not only by the great bartender, but also by most of the locals dining/drinking there. I had some pretty conversations, while enjoying some local brew, followed by a good Manhattan, and a pretty good steak. Price-wise it was very reasonable (this is from a Seattleite driving from Vegas, so YMMV), and it was one of the few places open a bit later. Overall a very solid place to have a great time if you're around West Denver, craving good food and drinks, and you don't want to end at a national chain.

    Well the waitstaff and owner are friendly here. The service is okay and could use a bit improving. How ever so.e of the food is quite good. Had their pork belly appetizer tremendously delicious. French Onion soup yummy. My wife had their Mahi Mahi said the Brussel sprouts that came with the meal , were "the bomb". I had the beef tips, while it was delicious I was quite shock to see such a small portion of meat. But was told that it's a new item on the menu. Owner said he'd correct it. So we'll be back for a different meal. I'd definitely recommend this place

    Delicious, delicious, delicious!! What a great find! I am so glad I saw this place on the way home and talked my family into coming her. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert was delicious! Our server was fabulous as well. Will definitely be coming back here.

    2.5 stars First I want to say that the waitress we have was absolutely great, her service was excellently refreshing and we really enjoyed having her as a waitress. And the tater tots we ordered as an appetizer were really good. But that is where the goodness ended. I got the macaroni and cheese and chicken and it was swimming in the cheese sauce and it was bland, no seasoning no taste whatsoever. very disappointing. the other people in our party ordered the signature hamburger, both of them said that that it was very bland no seasoning to the meat the only taste that they got was from the mushrooms and bacon on the burger. And the fries were all mushy not crispy at all. Very disappointed.

    I thought the place was okay. I try burgers all over town and am always looking for a place to just "WOW" me. Unfortunately this place didn't. It's nice enough and the wait staff were very attentive. My burger came out pretty well done after specially stating "medium". It was juicy but had a heavy smoke flavor to the patty. The fries were well seasoned but not crisp (flimsy). The portion on both burger and the fries was huge!! I would like to come back and try those tots I see and maybe enjoy a drink at happy hour. I wouldn't do the burger twice here though.

    Fantastic! New favorite place. Homemade gouda stuffed tator tots, yum! Philly dip (name?)sandwich is so decadent. Husband had the shrimp poboy, delicious! Great service and food done right!

    First time here. Cool little place in an area of town that needs some upgrading. Great burger for me and the wife had salmon, which was very good. Complimentary fresh-made potato chips. Tons of beer on tap, wines and whisky!

  • Ben C.

    Stopped here for a late lunch. What a wonderful surprise. I had the Philly cheesesteak and fries. Both were very good. Not quite as good as the cherry creek grill but that place is quite a drive from here. The place is super cozy and the staff was top notch. I will certainly be back. The music was entertaining as I heard some stuff I've not heard for 20 plus years. I'm glad Vincenza's restaurant was such a turn off. I decided to eat here instead. Good move.

    Where oh where to start? I guess at the beginning... I looked at their website, was pleased with the menu, read some positive reviews, and even saw that I could make reservations by email. Excellent - I love the efficiency of that. Sent in an email late Saturday morning, requesting a reservation for four for 8pm that evening. No reply all day and it was getting close to dinner time, so at 7:15 I called to ask about the status of our reservation. Girl on the phone had no clue what I was talking about, so I was passed off to someone else. He also seemed very confused, so I walked him through the website, saying that on the "Contact" page, it said to email reservations to info@ironrailtavern.com and his reply was "oh, that goes to the owner's email address, he probably forgot to tell anyone". First red flag. I asked if they would still be able to accommodate us and he replied in the affirmative. My girlfriend and I walked in (at 8pm on a Saturday) and were greeted by an empty table/desk that apparently doubles as the hostess stand, as evidenced by the menus strewn across its top; I flagged down someone official-looking in the dining room to see about getting our table. A couple of servers and what appeared to be a GM-type hustled over and couldn't decide where to put us. Someone finally suggested table 22 - I think that was the number, I don't recall exactly - more to the point, nobody who worked there seemed to know where that particular table was located and they settled on an 8-top in the corner of the dining room. On our way to the table the GM-type said instead of sticking us in the corner he'd put us at the 4-top right in the middle of the dining room. Ok, fine, just a tiny wrinkle, right? Not so fast - it seems that the dining room, inexplicably, is situated in between the kitchen and the dish hole. Now, I may be wrong about the layout and if anyone who works there is reading this and would care to educate me, I'd love to know, because it was unbelievably distracting and annoying to have a constant parade of busboys rattling back and forth past our table with bins full of dirty (then clean, etc) dishware, glasses, silverware - it felt like we were intruding on prep for the day. We sat down, got our menus, aaannndddd the menu was different than the version posted on their website. Not entirely different, but not the same - and no notice on the site that the menu varies. Just another wrinkle, nothing to get upset about, right? English teachers and spelling geeks beware - they don't have a proofreader on staff, so you may want to have a drink before you open the menu, fortunately they have a very good selection of local beers on tap, I was pleased to see Odell's Cutthroat Porter, an old favorite. On to the food - we started with their specialty, the House Made Tater Tots, which are stuffed with smoked gouda and served with a house made chipotle ketchup. Not bad, but unevenly cooked - the bottom was almost burnt while the top was light golden. Eh, just a little wrinkle, right? We also ordered the pork belly appetizer and were informed that the table behind us ordered the last portion. Memo to every server everywhere - the proper response in that situation is "I'm sorry, our kitchen ran our of that tonight", don't point at another table and say that they did it. Poor form, but just another wrinkle, right? The highlight of the night was the Baked Marinated Feta, which was served sided by sauteed spinach and toasted baguette - a perfect small plate, truly excellent. Entrees - My girlfriend ordered the Black Truffle and Porcini Ravioli, purportedly served with a Parmesan cream. What she got was a bowl of Parmesan cream soup with raviolis floating in it - drowning food in sauce makes it look like you are hiding the food. I ordered the Beef Short Ribs, served with chipotle mashed potatoes, but it looked and tasted like something from a cafeteria, the cut of meat wholly unidentifiable and drowned in sauce. At first there was no sign of the mashed potatoes, until I finally located them buried under the heaping pile of shredded meat, chopped onions and mushrooms, and lifeless grey sauce. Anyone who flew a lot in the 80s and 90s would recognize it as airline Beef Bourgignon. Throughout the night there were no fewer than three men in dress shirts who were milling about the dining room, having hushed conversations with each other, and with servers, and occasionally checking on tables. No clue who if they were owners, or GM-types, because none of them ever introduced themselves. Just a little wrinkle, right? All in all the experience was so disjointed that it felt like we were there on the first night of dinner service, but Iron Rail has been open for more than three months, one would think that would be sufficient time to at least iron out the wrinkles in the red flags that kept popping up, but they couldn't even take an email reservation. They have a ways to go

    This is the best food I have eaten in a long time! It's fresh, flavorful, and a good price! The waitstaff is friendly and inviting! I will definitely be coming back!

    We've only been here once but will definitely be back. The service was excellent. We tipped 30% because our server was so good - and because we usually get terrible service in Wheat Ridge for some reason. So five stars on that front. PLEASE keep it up - you usually don't notice service unless it's bad, and we've had some awful experiences at other places in the area. So now we're particularly sensitive to it. The drinks are very reasonably priced (especially the $5 Beam and Cokes), and the happy hour is great. The food we ordered was pretty good. I loved the signature burger. Definitely the best around. Good price/value ratio too, as you get to choose from some great sides. Got the wings on happy hour. They were pretty good, but they're smoked - different type of flavor. And the sauce comes on the side. I prefer traditional wings and wish they at least offered that option, but these were great if you like the smoked kind. The green chili mac and cheese was so-so - was almost more like a soup. Not my preference, but - like the wings - if you like this style you'll probably dig it. It's a warm and inviting place in my opinion. I didn't have a problem with the decor or ambiance, which some other reviewers have found lacking. Having said that, I'd encourage them to build a patio out back if possible or a rooftop deck or something. There aren't really any windows - so it's cozy in the winter, but I'm not sure how much I'll want to go there in the summer. Something the owners might want to consider so their business doesn't end up being seasonal.

    On a business trip from Boston driving from Littleton to the airport we read the reviews and stopped prior to catching a red eye home. Too long a day and too much left to do o really exercise the bar- but, dinner was perfect. Our group all loved their dinner and wished we could truly relax. Highly recommend. Just too far to go from Boston.

    Although I don't like to be harsh on new businesses I believe that being honest and frank can only be of benefit. For my friends that don't like to read lengthy reviews... I'd say try at your own risk. First of all, I know that shtuff can happen and a reservation at a busy restaurant is tough to manage (A half of an hour wait? Maybe best not to take reservations?). They did apologize a lot (I wonder if that was because the reservation was made on their Yelp listing) and comped us a small sampling of their "new" tater tots. We ordered two items off of the Tapas (or what I call appetizers) menu. The Pork Belly ($8) and the rec'd by our server Hickory Smoked Chicken Wings ($6). The pork belly came sliced with a slaw side. Belly was very fatty but cooked decently. It wasn't super tender but wan't tough either. The problem was that it was woefully under seasoned and with no discernible smoke flavor. The wings were possibly the worst wings i have ever had. They did have a little smoke to them but had no seasoning whatsoever to the skin (and definitely hadn't been brined because the flavorlessness ran to the bone). No salt, pepper, herb, or spice and the two sauces they were served with... the Buffalo tasted of either Durkee's or Frank's hot sauce and the Bleu Cheese was closer to a thin Ranch. Our entree orders consisted of the Beef Short Ribs $18 (he likened it to a pulled beef stew), Chicken Mac and Cheese $13 (she said it tasted similar to a frozen mac with sliced packaged chicken breast), the Iron Rail Signature Burger $12 (the consensus at the table was that this was the best looking dish. he said it was pretty good.). I had the Iron Rail Wedge Salad w/Pork Belly Bacon $9 (maybe 5 or six pieces of tiny 1/4 inch cubes of belly, very small dice on the tomatoes, were there red onions?, and the description had the word "balsamic" at the end..? don't know, It came with an okay housemade bleu cheese dressing that I had on the side. and the Filet Mignon French Onion Soup $8 It was served in a rather large shallow dish and is not the gratined style (no caramelized cheese). It has a small oval of toast in the middle of the large shallow bowl (I think there was cheese involved? Maybe under the toast?). The broth was good (I didn't finish it all. That's saying something.) and the onions plentiful (cooked but it was missing the big flavor that heavy caramelization gives) and the filet mignon was tender (but again cut small and sparse). I guess being the snob that I am nothing on the beer list held any interest for me (they had run out of Rickoli's Authoritah :( but they did have local beers on tap. My wino buddy was disappointed in their selection of reds. I guess I need to try more of the menu but frankly... I'm almost afraid to. This visit was a MAJOR miss. Hopefully if I get the courage up to try them again it'll be better the next time around.

    This place is charming and looks a lot fancier on the inside than the outside. The waitstaff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the Iron Rail Burger and it was amazing! Would go back again for sure. The fries were super tasty as well. I went with 4 friends and we all cleared our plates.

    Really cool place. The bartender was really nice and a great server. The place was well decorated & did a good job of being a upscale establishment. The food was very good. Beer selection on tap was okay without a ton of different types of beer; however, I found a pale ale that I like alot. I recommend.

  • Brenda S.

    Derrick was the best .. He remembered what we drank from just being here one time. We had the pork belly appetizer which had a beautiful brown sugar crust very tasty. And the happy hour baked chicken wings which were very crispy to our surprise. The hot wing sauce was really good served with a homemade blue cheese dressing. The atmosphere here is great they have Jack Daniels on tap + wine on top which is very rare. I have never seen at any other establishment in Denver area. Would highly recommend this place for their fine dining. Food and ask for Derik at the bar.... I don't normally give 5 stars. Because I am very picky. But this place really meets all of my expectations

  • Jason L.

    What an awesome find... this place is a hidden gem! If having an incredible 25 draft beer lines on tap wasn't enough, they also have Jack Daniels on a nitro tap pouring silky-smooth Tennessee whisky. Their tater tots rival my favorite tots in the world from Highland Tavern. Don't miss the mac & cheese! It's unbelievable, made with creamy smoked Gouda, and available as a side or an entree. We also enjoyed the mahi-mahi fish and chips and the delicious cheese steak. Our server, Chris, was awesome offering lots of suggestions for delicious choices and was very attentive. I'm so excited to come back here and try their brunch which a they recently began offering on Sundays.

    I have been here a few times and the food is always good. Fresh and fast. Very impressive. I review my recent experience tonight due to our waitress, Mandy. I am usually not a difficult customer but tonight I changed my order a bit. I was not clear in my change and Mandy was insistent on making things right. She was very nice and her service was some of the best I have ever seen. I made the mistake and she wanted to fix it. I will most definitely be back and highly recommended anyone ask for Mandy as your server.

    This place is definitely a diamond in the rough! The exterior completely disguises the beautifully redone interior. Menu was basic traditional american, but everything that came out was delicious! Attention to detail was great on the food. Well executed. They have a great selection of 25 beers on tap. Staff was knowledgeable and courteous. I will definitely be stopping by next week to try the fish and chips- they looked amazing!

    This place is awesome! The waiters are extremely friendly and attentive, and the food is amazing. Although the price may be towards the high side, the quality is of food is most definitely worth it. I ordered the steak and cheese dip with a side of their mac and cheese and it was amazing. Per the waiter's request, my boyfriend ordered the Southern Fried Chicken, and it was honestly some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. If you get the chance to check this place out, they've got a great selection of beer and drinks and worth every penny. Also Chris is a great server!

    Stopped in for a snack and a beer... Yummy! I had the grilled feta and spinach - the feta cheese was fabulous - crisp on the outside and firm on the inside. Perfect on the fresh bread!

  • Francis L.

    Fantastic. Not much to look at from the outside, but a full parking lot during happy hour and into dinner time was a good sign. The interior is where they must have focused the resources of their retrofit, and to good effect; it's apparent that this was a much different restaurant before. Our server described their menu as wholly "from-scratch" and made excellent recommendations of the Caesar salad (which has a savory dressing as opposed to tangy or oily), the pork belly (which was smoky and perfectly spicy), and the beet caprese (for my mom, whose appetite is usually very light). Of all the things I tasted, however, I was most pleased with the green chili. Green chili can be excellent or it can be horrible, but I got a true sense of the chili itself without too much salt or kick, and covering the home-made potato chip appetizer with thick bacon, it was awesome. They have $2 Rolling Rock all day every day, so it's a good thing I don't work on that side of town. Their other beverages are well-chosen and on tap (even their Jack Daniels and some wines). They comped my mom a dessert on her birthday, which is always nice, but in this case it was a gigantic wedge of lemon poppyseed cake which was as delicious as it was generous.

    We were trying to find a nice place to go to dinner for our last night in CO. We wanted something not too fancy and not too casual and this was the perfect place. It was literally a mile from the campground we stayed at so the location was great. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. Very nice inside, staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. Food was delicious and prices were fair. The house Riesling is a must if you are a wine drinker. No complaints and would not hesitate to go back if we visit the again.

    We went there last week with some friends. All of us ordered steaks. One person in our group ordered her steak medium well. It was served rare. They took it back to cook it more. By the time they brought her steak back we were all finished eating. In the meantime we had all shared our food with her. In the end, the steak they back was trashed because it was so over-cooked it was not edible. The salad was good and the atmosphere was good as well. But overall, this dinner was not worth the price.

  • Cheri L.

    This was my third drive from Aurora to Wheatridge to eat at the IRT. Every trip has been worth it. This was for a Jack Daniels tasting night. Even the salad was awesome. The wings were incredible, and the Jack and brown sugar glaze on the salmon was incredible. Every entree had a Jack drink the desert was a chocolate truffle with Jack and white chocolate drizzle. I highly encourage these items be on the menu as it all was outstanding. Keep your eyes open for the next one! Keep it up IRT. You're on your way to the top.

    While this place isn't bad by any means, I don't feel it is worth the high praise it is receiving. Their beer list was not very impressive and the steak that I had was just OK. It is a great place for the location, seeing as how there are not many great places to eat anywhere near by. If you don't want to go very far for a good meal then I see why you would love this place. However there are numerous other places for much better food. Also stay away from the lavender butter. Why you'd want that even remotely near your steak is beyond me.

  • Steve S.

    So tryed this place for lunch 2 times. Service is great but food was so bad we were surprised that they served the meal? Cobb salad. 50%,full of cabbage. Corned beef sandwich, and it was not corned beef. Used roast beef. Presentation of food was sad and the quality worse yet. Can't recamend it to anyone. Wheatridge could use a good new restaurant but this is not one u want to try. To bad were still looking

    Yum! I am thrilled this restaurant has opened in our neighborhood. We moved here from the Highlands several years and haven't found a favorite place to eat in this area until now! The staff is friendly and fun. Our waiter Zach was so much fun! The food is out of this world. The menu is far from anything like the chain restaurants in this area. Every single item on it sounds delicious and we plan to try them all!

    We had our meetup brunch here for 18 women on 6/7/15. They had a section set up when we arrived, friendly staff, no rushing. We ordered a variety of the brunch menu items, one person was able to special order the mac n cheese. All the food looked great, no complaints from anyone. I had the fried chicken and biscuits, chicken was crispy and gravy had good flavor. Had I seen the dessert menu, I would have saved room! Those who got dessert said it was awesome. I saw the sign advertising prime rib on Friday nights, something to think about.

  • Chelsea M.

    Not what I expected at all, especially for something called a "tavern". Expected a fun new gastropub I suppose. The beer selection was mediocre at best. Nothing compared to other Wheat Ridge restaurants that feature local & rotating beer menus. We went for lunch because we wanted to try and support a new place in Wheat Ridge. Service was fine. Food was good, but nothing special and not really worth the price (burger was way too well done). The decor and ambience were extremely tired, boring and drab. There are no windows so it's dark and small feeling. Not sure what demographic this is supposed to appeal to? It's not going to attract any young families or Millennials. So possibly an older family crowd? Not sure. Tavern in the name is misleading. SAD to not be giving a new local place 5 stars!!!

  • Carrie O.

    My husband and I have visited this place several times, and each experience is better and better. Wait staff is always friendly, but our most recent server, Brianna, was fantastic. She was very attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of. The owner, Bill, is always in attendance and great to chat with. He recommended the prime rib - which I'm always reluctant to get elsewhere because it's usually just a really expensive piece of fatty meat - and was thrilled at the massive piece of tasty beef that arrived. The grilled asparagus was yummy, and the lemondrop martinis were tasty, tasty, tasty. We topped everything off with the orange chai mousse cake which is just a little slice of heaven. Yes, it's a bit spendier than some of our other favorite hangouts, but it's definitely worth the occasional splurge.

    Came in here because it was close to our hotel and what a nice surprise! The wait staff was wonderful and we were well taken care of. I ordered the philly cheese steak dip and I can't say enough good about it. The mashed potatoes were homemade and a little lumpy. They were perfect. My husband had a burger he ordered medium rare ( and it actually was). He said it was great! The beer selection was excellent. This will now be a regular stop for us. I can't say enough good things about our dining experience.

    I stopped in out of curiosity and was not entirely disappointed. This is a welcome addition to Kipling Street. I was visiting as a reconnaissance mission for a date night for my girlfriend's return to Denver. I sat at the bar. Although friendly, it was like pulling teeth to get some background on the establishment out of the bartender, after all, it's a good story that sells. Are you locally owned? Is your food organic? Farm to table? Who is your chef? None of this information was offered and I stopped asking. The bartender is supposed to be the ambassador for an establishment and cultivate repeat business as well as a regular clientele. I feel as though I must qualify my critique: I am a fine dining professional, Level II sommelier, and have won many accolades including Best Mixologist in Denver. That being said, the snack I ordered was delicious, the rest of the menu looks fantastic, and the service was attentive despite my waiting several minutes to pay (my card was on the bar top way too long, and a second cocktail was not offered (there were three bartenders behind the bar). I will come back, however, probably not for the special occasion for which I was researching.

    Came in with my family to try this new place out. As we walked in I was surprised how spacious the restaurant was. The staff was VERY nice when we walked in and greeted us. As we sat at the table I noticed the fresh clean table cloths. We started with the housemade Tots and spicy ketchup. They were really good. I ordered the burger which was good, I liked that it came with Guda cheese which is not the norm for burgers. They also season their fries with dill and other spices. My sister had the chicken confit. I tried it and it was delicious. Even my nephew's corn dogs were tasty. We then had to try dessert since all our meals were so great. We had the apple spiced cake, apples foster and the peanut butter chocolate cake. They were all very tasty but the apples foster was my favorite. Our server was amazing. She kept our drinks filled and was very nice. I want to be clear that this 5 starts is based on what I was expecting and what we actually received, from a place that from the outside looks like your typical bar. If I want fine dining I'd go downtown but this food and atmosphere was a happy medium. I will be back again and hope this place is successful.

    Since this place is right down the street from us, we were eager to try out the new grub spot in Wheat Ridge. We started with an appetizer that we heard was awesome, the homemade tater tots stuffed with smoked gouda with chipotle ketchup. Not sure if it was an off night or something but they were just ok, kinda bland and sounded much better than they tasted. I was disappointed that the potato portion didn't have much flavor and the smoked gouda flavor didn't really came out as expected. I will say the house made chipotle ketchup was very good. For dinner we ordered the Baseball Sirloin Culotte. This was 2 4oz portions that were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. For my sides I ordered the onion & green chili mac and cheese and the Brussels sprouts. The sprouts were cooked perfectly, but again were just ok...they were good but lacked the wow factor. Speaking of wow factor, they have hit a home run with the Mac and cheese. Great flavor and it stayed nice and creamy to the last lick of the bowl. The part we felt great about was the price. $16 for great steak and two sides was very reasonable. Like other reviewers on Yelp have mentioned, our only complaints were the decor/ambiance and lack luster beer menu. We will definitely be back and think there is a lot of potential for this place to be around a long time!

    Yesterday was my second visit to Iron Rail and again it did not disappoint! My first visit was with girlfriends and we had fish and chips, Mac and cheese and the tavern burger. All three were excellent! Yesterday my husband and I went for an early Valentine dinner. We shared the pork belly. It was wonderful. He had the rib eye steak, asparagus and poblano mashed potatoes. Yes, you have a nice choice of two sides. I had the lamb chops with brussel sprouts and onion rings. Everything was outstanding. The brussel sprouts were some of the best I have ever had. Our waiter, Zach was knowledgeable and attentive and the owner Chris came by our table to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant. You receive a lot for your money. Finally a great restaurant in Wheat Ridge!!

    Smoked Gouda stuffed gigantic tater tots, beef sliders and fish and chips!!!! all were excellent but their menu is vast and not just "pub food". beer selection was great and wine barrels as taps for the beer, great decor. service was wonderful. great addition to Wheat Ridge and great use of space.

    Had a great dining experience at Iron Rail Tavern on Halloween. Our server Chris was attentive and very knowledgable and honest about the menu choices. His recommendations were spot on. The food was delicious it was served hot and seasoned perfectly. The tater tots were a yummy starter, salads were fresh with homemade dressing. Main courses of rib eyes and pork chop didn't disappoint. The owner Bill stopped by to say hello, he was very pleasant we enjoyed chatting with him. Highly recommend Iron Rail. It will be a regular dining spot for us!!!

    Have been wanting to try out this new place, especially since it is right down the street and has gotten great reviews. We had an excellent meal last night - meatloaf special and fish and chips. We also started with the wings. Many things I want to try on the menu so will definitely be back! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I agree with some comments on the ambience. We sat in the bar, which was fine. But would like to see the rest of the restaurant after a remodel. Atmosphere needs to fit with the amazing food they serve!

    This place is awesome! I got the pastrami sandwich for lunch with a side of brussel sprouts. There was bacon in the brussel sprouts! The smokiness totally brought out the flavor. Definitely a must try if you're in the area!
