Food and ambiance were 10/10! It was a nice spring night where they had the large windows out to the patio open. Could not have been better!

I was seated and when my friend showed up, the server didn’t check on us for 25-30 minutes, so my friend couldn’t even order anything. So, bad service, but the food is decent.

We went there to watch the Kentucky Derby. The food was good, I had the flatbread pizza and my husband had the fried chicken sandwich. The waitstaff was good, but I felt like we were being rushed to leave so they could reseat our table. The front of house manager kept staring at our table like she wanted us to leave. It didn't feel very welcoming.

Great lunch spot for a group. This is our go-to in Davis - good service, something for everyone, not too noisy mid-day. Lots of tacos, great fried chicken options, especially the salad.

We ordered 2 entrees and an appetizer and all of the flavoring was just…off. Our server wasn’t very attentive but the rest of the staff was very nice and helpful. Atmosphere was very nice. Maybe the food just wasn’t for us. I would not return based on my experience but the restaurant itself is lovely inside.

Cuisine was really elevated pub food. The pretzel was amazing! Mac n cheese was good, not phenomenal. And the fried chicken salad was really good. The service was weird. Started off with one waiter who was nice and polite who then said another server was taking over (but the second server was too busy to be attentive and meanwhile the first waiter stood around with nothing to do). So seems like poor management decisions and a lack of coordination. If they tuned up their customer service, it could be a very full proof experience. All that said, I do recommend going for a laid back and cool spot to have a meal.
