Jacob Wiedmann: Delicious food and great wine... portions are small and pricey though so make sure you hit the 5-7 "happy hour"
Helene Golombek: You can't go wrong with anything here. The M - Th 5 - 7 happy hour is perfect, as are their Sunday School specials. Plus the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! One of my favorite places!
Joe Ulrich: Try the Duvel Ale - Quintessential Belgian Golden Ale! Bottle-conditioned; refreshing, strong (8.5%), and complex!! Perfect summer happy hour beverage.
