Just had lunch. Was ok with good selection of beers. Had the pulled pork sandwich which was good. First time here but would go again perhaps at night and sample a few more of the beers. There is a lot of competing restaurants in this area but worth a try.

I don't understand the poor reviews I saw. Glad we took our chances anyway. Great lunch selections and good service. Maybe dinner entres are kinda high, but probably wouldn't go for dinner anyway.

We have visited this place several times with varying degrees of success. We had a really cool server a couple months ago who made our meal fun. I really enjoyed the jambalaya I had there. Back in the summertime, we were enjoying their patio one afternoon, (They have a pretty nice outdoor area.) but we had to leave because a... More

I have been to this location on several occasions however the most recent visit might be the final visit. The overall experience was not good except for the pre-dinner drink. Ordered a chicken caeser salad which was horrible. Lettuce with little to no dressing and chicken that was completely tasteless. There was plainly no flavor at all. I wanted to... More

Very pretty presentation. I had a brownie with ice cream. The brownie didn't seem that fresh and I didn't think the icecream was a premium one. For the price, you'd think it would be a fresh brownie and really good ice cream.

Maybe we missed the train here because so many rave about this place, but my friend and I were so disappointed when we came in for a beer and found all the TV's but one on financial channels. Are you serious, watching stock reports while drinking 5 dollar house beers- isn't this the defintion of people pretending to have fun... More

Always a favorite of mine in Rockford. Enjoy the food and the atmosphere. Near a huge mall - CherryVale - and a fantastic place to stop after a long day of shopping!

We frequently visit this restaurant because it is close to our house and next to the mall. The menu changes frequently but there are some "standards" that don't change. My husband loves the Cuban sandwich. The staff are friendly. It is a beautiful restaurant inside.

Prices may be a bit steep in my opinion, but worth it for a special lunch. Fantastic tasting food and great service!

Everything tasted great, but we all left feeling like we'd swallowed weights. Their food is very rich and heavily salted. Don't over eat here. It's not that amazing.
