I went twice last weekend. Friday and Sunday night. Friday, I came with a buddy and we grabbed two seats at the bar. The whole place is beautiful and had a good vibe. We ordered a few draft beers and I had the Farm-House Chicken and chips. Their bar menu is limited but the chicken hit the spot. It was big, flavorful and juicy. We had good service and a good time. Such a good time, I made reservations to bring my SO on Sunday night.
We got there at 6:00 pm and tried of few of their hoptails. I wasn't sure what to expect with beer and hard alcohol mixed, but the "hoptail with no name" is delicious. It has a number of ingredients including gin, makers mark and hefewiezen. We ordered the mac and cheese and the loaded potato skins as apps. The mac and cheese was great, the right amount of cheese and the smoked ham was a great compliment. The potato skins were good, but didn't really stand out. I ordered the chicken pot pie and the SO ordered the steak and chips.
This is where I have to agree with above that things aren't running as smoothly as I hope they eventually will. The food took a really long time to come out. First the waiter apologized, then apologized again, then one manager apologized and then the other. When it was all said and done it was over 90 minutes to get our food. Once we got it, i thought the chicken pot pie was very good. The pastry puff is on top and I would describe it as a hardy soup underneath. The chicken and veggies were very good. The steak and chips looked good, but the SO took two bites and didn't seem to like it. I think it might of had to do with her losing her appetite. The manager came by again and took the steak off the bill. I was disappointed because I really wanted the SO to have a great experience because she has been looking forward to the opening for months. Looking forward to giving it another shot after they are able to get their feet underneath them.
