    The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection, the broccolini it was served with was delicious! Don't skip out on the dessert, they have their rendition on pecan pie, and it is worth saving room for

    Hanger steak is my favorite. Burger is second. If you're up for something greasy and adventurous and delicious, get the chicken and cinnamon roll👍. Appetizers, don't pass up the corn bread and salmon

    Cozy Gastropub meets Trendy Oyster Bar in Short North. Get the Oyster Stout, Jalapeno Cornbread, and the Hanger Steak over Kimchee Fried Rice.

    This place is awesome. I frequently dine in Chicago and if this place existed there, it would easily be a hit. Love the food and beer selection.

    Sit at the bar when it's slower. You save the trouble of table service and the bartenders are great. Can't say enough about the food, but the stories come from the bar.

    The deviled eggs are great, as are the tater tots. A great selection of oysters and the fish and chips are outstanding.

    Oysters - especially the Chesapeake Bay. Tots are practically deep-fried mashed potatoes, what could be better ??? Moscow mule is super crisp

    The hanger steak was good, nice flavor and the kimchi rice was yummy too but just not enough of it. Most places make your plate look a little fuller with a starch or carb but not here?

    The Bloody Mary is really good. It comes with a Miller High Life chaser which is apparently a Wisconsin thing.

    The cornbread is tasty. But, don't be startled if the waitress or waiter is shocked when you ask for a mignonette.

    Be careful at the hightops by the bar--the purse hooks underneath the table are dangerous for thighs! Ouch!

    I get now why the shrimp and grits weren't mentioned on previous tips. Whoever made these has never visited the low country. No salt. No flavor, no spice, not enough grits!
