Ate there last week with my wife. Pretty good grub. I had the fish and chips. The jicima and apple slaw was surprisingly good. The house beer was a little on the weak side, I tried their IPA, and two other dark beers (can't even remember the style they were so forgetful).

It's a neat concept but some of the food seems to just be weird for the sake of being weird. Will probably go back.

I believe it's owned by the same group or at least part of the same group that owns the Library, Coach's and some other bar/restaurant.

next to In the Raw on Campus Corner. It was previously Iron Starr BBq and before that was Harold's Outlet store.

Ahhhh. I do remember glancing over and seeing that several weeks ago.

Wonder what "weird food" means...

Thanks. I was worried it was going to be another Hal Smith clone menu. (see Louie's thread)

Blu is the other place they own, which is kinda in a similar vein to this place

Ate there twice. Food is good. Meatloaf is excellent and so is the shepherds pie. Hear the chicken pot pie is really good and the salmon salad looks amazing. Nice scotch selection there as well.
