Great location, well customized burgers, very pleasant service (although could be bill errors leaving some room for improvement). From the moment we got in, we were happily greeted and offered to select a table in or out with the view. Interesting selection of customizable burgers including “impossible” and bison (unfortunately was missing). Place has good selection of beers, wines and some cocktails. Some errors with the bill (overcharged) that was pleasantly resolved with apologies. Always good to try something new and will be back to hopefully improve star rating.

Over priced mediocre food at best. The chicken sandwich came on a bun that was border line stale. Bread is not supposed to fall apart into tiny pieces as you hold it in your hands. Absolutely disgusting. The service was horrendous never checked to see if we needed anything, fill our drinks, etc. We waited for 30 minutes at a table and were never greeted. We finally went and asked for someone to take our order. We were told a lot of people walked in at the same time. Nonsense. The restaurant was occupied at approximately 25%. Our table was outside and next to the entrance so it was clear this was a line of bull. The best part of the service after you eat your meal they tell you there is a 20% gratuity built into the final bill for two people. They want your money regardless of the food quality & service. This is the second visit to this place in as many years. Same result on both visits.
