text: If I could give zero stars, I would: what is this place? A haven for craft-brew enthusiasts? A wanna-be bistro? Animal shelter activist headquarters? I don't bloody get it.\n1.) it took the waitress 20 minutes to shove two tables together to accommodate our party of 8 (4 adults and 4 small kids.) The restaurant wasn't busy, but the staff spent so much time drinking with the patrons they couldn't be bothered to do the necessary shoving. \n2.) the waitress took order, disappeared to drink and chat at the bar, came back about 40 mins later with food.\n3.) hubby ordered a burger, no complaints. Elder kiddo ordered fish and chips, and proceeded to eat only the fries (thin cut fast food fries, not \"chips\".) The fish was slightly undercooked and overly greasy-- not sure how that was accomplished. It was served with what was supposed to be slaw, but was just red cabbage in an oily dressing. My kid never turns her nose up at any fish, but she didn't even touch it. \nI ordered the brats and mashed potatoes to share with my youngest kiddo-- the fresh veggie saut\u00e9 was excellent and the mashed potatoes with bacon were fantastic...at least the few bites that weren't drowned in an unpleasant, bitter onion-and-beer-based reduction. The brats were also doused in the powerfully bitter gravy, but no matter, since they were undercooked as well. A nice steak should be pink in the middle, a sausage should not be. Ick. I'd have complained to the waitress but she never reappeared....\n3.) ... In fact she hadn't come back by the time I left with the kids and my hubby stayed with my friend's hubby to try the horchata-orange beer the pub was unveiling that night. Who knows when she wandered back. \n4.) live music too loud at 6 pm.\n5.) hubby said that after my friend and I left with our respective kids, our table sat un-bussed for at least an hour. Some drink guy came up and asked if he could finish off my daughter's uneaten (and still uncleared away) plate of cold fish and chips, then helped himself... The horror. \n\nThis place made me think of where 40-ish post-hipsters go to drink away their remaining youth... Alcohol probably kills the salmonella from all the undercooked food, after all.
