“ Stopped here during the summer for happy hour. We were lucky enough to get a table for two outside. Everything was good. Food drink staff all on point. Only negative, and it's a subjective point, is that it's quite pricey. Pricier than you might expect in Scranton. We shared a Cuban sandwich and an order of tacos and we each had two drinks. I had two beers and she had two house wines and our bill was over $100 tipped out. We'll definitely be back but it won't be a regular stop for us. ”

“ Back for more! We were here on Saturday evening. First I made a reservation for 5:30pm. We had forgot that we needed to attend to a matter that wouldn't get us there for 5:30. I called the day of and asked if they could accommodate us at 6:00 pm instead. They were great. They said no problem but they had many reservations after 7. The person on the other end told me he'd call me back to try and shuffle things so we wouldn't be rushed out. I told him that it was fine as we could sit at the bar instead of holding a reservation up because it was in fact my mistake for making the reservation at 5:30 in the first place. He insisted on calling me back to help us out. He followed through and said that there was a cancellation and we would have the table as long as we wanted!!! We walked in and were whisked over to our table. We normally sit at the bar because I love watching the staff at work. They are excellent. So we ordered the cheese board with charcuterie. We've had it before and we keep forgetting how BIG it is. They give you 4 wedges of cheese. I mean these are big wedges. The meats are incredible. They either smoke the meats there or they buy them this way. Whatever they do.....fantastic. The board is accompanied with crackers, mustard, honey, and grapes. The only thing is I wish they tell you what the cheeses are. I guess I can also use my mouth and ask. lol. So we ordered that to start. Then right when our waiter brought it to the table we added a pizza and the butter bean hummus. I would say that it was easily less than 10 mins and the pizza and hummus was brought to the table. We had barely touched the charcuterie! This was not normal. One of the bartenders made his way over and introduced himself as the owner. I recognized the voice as the person I was on the phone with earlier helping with our reservations. He apologized that our 2 other dishes were brought out so quickly. He offered to buy us a round of drinks. I stated that was not necessary as it was fine. We understand stuff happens. People are human. But he insisted. So I was going to have my usual old fashioned. Dimitri asked if I ever had their Manhattans to which I responded that I haven't. He says, "let me make you one. Ours is different." And it was excellent. Very close to an old fashioned but different. This place will see us many many many many more times. This is becoming one of our favorites in the area. I do highly recommend reservations. We were here at 6pm and every table and all the seats at the bar were filled. Rarely have we had an issue getting a seat at the bar(reservations not needed)but tonight was different. I don't know if something was going on downtown or people are catching on about this place. Word of mouth and social media make it harder to get in but is great for them. Glad to see places like this doing great. ”

“ So tonight was our first night at the 16th Ward. We got lucky and got a two top outside on the street. Beautiful night. As far as staff, the woman who checked us in was wonderful. Our server was very enthusiastic and very pleasant. They happen to have two amazing IPAs on top. Our Portago appetizer was fantastic and the Cubano was amazing. The only negative, and you know it's a somewhat subjective negative, is this place is quite pricey. We shared one appetizer and one Cuban sandwich and we each had a couple of drinks. Two beers and two wines and our check was $100 bucks tipped out. Wonderful place. Loved it but we wouldn't be regulars here simply because it's a pretty expensive night out. ”

“ Recently went here for the first time, and I definitely enjoyed myself. Had the Soft Pretzel Appetizer and it was amazing how light it actually was. It was not heavy like your typical Bavarian style pretzel. The beer cheese was good, but the mustard nearly blew my sinuses out. Oddly enough, that is not a bad thing .. just should probably come with a warning. I also had the Steak and Frites that was on the menu. Easily one of, if not THE best steak I have ever had. Seasoned perfectly, and complimented well with the super acidic salad and homemade shoestring fries. The only warning I will give with this place is that you better like your food flavorful. There is a fine line between being seasoned perfectly and being over-seasoned, and to me it seems like they are teasing that line. If you can't handle strong bold flavors, then this may not be your cup of tea. ”

“ Truly incredible place, food and drinks were all fantastic. Apparently tonight was a brand new menu. We had the dumplings appetizer which was delicious, I had the beer muscles which was incredible and my wife had the salmon which was also incredible, for drinks I had one of the best manhattans I've ever had and my wife had the jalapeño cucumber margarita which she greatly enjoyed. Service was fast and friendly and we left satisfied and feeling like we got great value for our money. This is a don't miss of your in the area. I do recommend making a reservation as it's not the biggest place and is pretty popular. ”

“ The food was scrumptious! Have the spinach salad and the Nashville chicken pizza! Incredible! Mike at the bar made the most delicious key lime martini! It was like a dessert! ”

“ While out of town I went to this restaurant. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into a cute bar and grill. I sat at the bar, and Mike was my bartender, and he was great. He made me the best vodka martini. For my meal I ordered the chicken curry dish. When it came it looked delicious but when I tasted it, it was bland. They were so gracious to change the dish. I changed it to the shrimp scampi, and they seasoned it to perfection. The bill was affordable, and I had a pretty decent experience. ”

“ Top-notch burgers every Thursday and Sunday. Try the bacon jam burger. Everything on the menu has been great including small plates such as the Russian dumplings, pizzas and more. The cocktails are also excellent - my personal favorite is the Private Privileges - strong and rum based. The staff are nice and the ambience is a nice low key yet classy place for a night out. ”

“ Made a reservation here on a Friday night at 6:30pm. Last time we came without a reservation and couldn't be seated. They are super busy but now I can see why. From the customer service, to the drinks and the food....absolutely amazing! So happy we made reservations here because we are definitely coming back to try out their other items in the menu.
