   The server was not attentive. The drink glasses stayed empty after asking many times she refilled it. The restaurant was not busy and it took over 55 minutes to get the order. The food after all that time was cold, some of it was burnt and some undercooked it's like they couldn't get it together. Overall it was a terrible experience first time and last time . The food and service was not good. I do not recommend it.

   Very good food and a nice place. The brewing tanks and everything in view is very cool. Our waiter was very nice and I was impressed.

   We dined here soon after opening, and it was really bad. Food was terribly overcooked, service was slow and error prone. I waited maybe a year to return. Much better this time. Service was very good. Menu has changed, maybe not for the better. This time we had a flight of beer, philly egg rolls, a burger and a crab cake sandwich. Egg rolls were excellent. Crab cake was fine, but the bun was plain and past its prime. But overall, OK. The burger probably could have been bigger for $18. The taste was pretty good, but I ordered it medium, and it came out over-well, super dry. The pretzel bun was hard and stale. Good potential, poor execution overall. Kind of expensive for the quality.

   There was a dispute about sitting in chairs and booths. The booths had to requested in advanced which when I made the reservation it was not an option for me. The disappointing thing is that some of them sat empty.

   We made a reservation for 6 after everything downtown Columbia had a 2.5 hour wait (around 3pm on a Saturday) and we realistically could have just walked in. With that being said I do think they were surprised by the amount of business coming in- we had just left a cheer competition and could see about 4 other families who did the same. Other than food coming out a bit slow, everything was fantastic! The food was DELICIOUS, a huge variety on the menu, even for kids which is surprising. Definitely plan to go back when it isn't right before a long drive home so that I could try out several of their beers that looked fantastic.

   Not the best food for the money. The beer was decent, but certainly not the best brewery. I had the porter and while it had good flavor it lacked in body. The food was not what we hoped for. The truffle fries were nothing more than cold fries with some truffle oil and cheese sprinkled on them. I had the fish and chips, they were ok but nothing to write home about. Breaded cod fish that had limited flavor and some fries on the side…the coleslaw was good though. My wife had the steak, she mentioned it was dry and wasn’t all that great. My kids ate the burger and pizza. The pictures from their photographer are not what will come to your table. Burger was ok as was the pizza…but again not what we thought based on the pictures. Certainly will be our only trip to this place.

    We’ve eaten here 5 times over 3-4 months Each time excellent. Yesterday, terrible! Menu overhauled. Excellent dishes-gone. ordered fried calamari & queso w/ chips. chips & calamari were so salty (inedible) let waitress know-response was:ok do you want me to have the chef make a new batch? the calamari, I’ll have to speak to my mngr thats more tricky!returns 10 mins later said chips are pre-salted prior to frying(huh?!) she’ll make up pita chips & calamari.w/ no salt(we just want normal salt)10 more mins apps come out. W/in 30 sec’s meals arrive w/zero room to place anything. what’s the point of apps now! I ordered the schnitzel delish in dec.) this time Terrible-pork was dry, asked for steak knife( butter knife wouldn’t cut ) mashed pots 1/2 size as before & dry as the pork. got maybe a tbls & 1/2 of very oily odd tasting spinach. gravy-consistency of the pots. husband & 1 son ordered full salads-mainly lettuce/mediocre at best. other son ordered crab cake sammy-eaten in under 3 mins-so small.husband got eggplant burrata,just okay- portion was all sauce & the tiniest amt of eggplant w/ a thin slice of burrata on top. We eaten here & 💓’d it- like real home cooking & consistent. This time the opposite. I even made res for a booth-got a hightop (place was empty) Mentioned son’s bday in res. No one ever acknowledged it.we paid $150+for a mostly inedible meal that wasn’t as menu stated,took home all apps cuz they came so late & had terrible food for main dishes. Also, every time we go there’s always a waiter in training. Maybe high turn over(?)Seeing only 1 person in the kitchen, wouldn’t be surprised. Never saw a mngr- normally you see her. Very disappointed! Not sure we will go back. This was supposed to be a wonderful birthday meal. It left us hungry, sad & with $150 less in our pockets. Previously the bucatini w/shrimp, burgers, fish&chips,schnitzel were so yummy.this experience left us so disappointed & sad. Stop overhauling menus & be consistent!
