    Great atmosphere and service, however, even though the downstairs is very small, it is really loud. It sounds like there are 150 people all talking at the same time, instead of about 30. Food was sub par. The toasted ravioli app seemed like it was frozen and microwaved. Although the flavor was good, it wasn’t fresh tasting and the heat temp was inconsistent, which makes me believe they are microwaved. I had the Mahi fish tacos. Although a nice portion, they were way overcooked and the mango salsa was awful. I’m from Florida, so yes, I do know a good Mahi taco and mango salsa. My husbands burger was delish, great fries too, so I do know now where to get a good burger, and will return for that. The craft cocktails were very good also, and our server was great as well.

    Nice spot in Pineville! Food good, not great. Cocktails excellent. Server, Faith, was full of personality and did a great job (even though she is "new"). She was attentive without being intrusive♡

    Decent experience. The ambiance was wonderful. Long wait for food (45 minutes between ordering and it arriving). Brussel sprouts were super over salted. Pimento BLT was disappointing. It was essentially a mediocre grilled cheese. Husband said his burger was just okay.

    Ordered appetizers and those were good akd came out relatively quickly. Our entrees on the other hand took over an hour and weren’t comped for them. My lobster roll for wasn’t good, they fried the lobster meat and it didn’t say that on the menu. I wouldn’t have ordered fried lobster and it was rubbery. I couldn’t send it back bc I’d already waited and hour and was starving. The manager even came over to ask how everything was and we told him our entrees hadn’t come out that ordered an hr before. You’d think they would have comped the meals or offered a round of drinks. Probably won’t be going back bc of the poor service and not so great food for the price. I expect lobster roll to $30, I’ve paid that elswhere, but with fresh lobster,not fried. Disappointing night out.
