It was a Friday night, perfect weather for sitting outside. I made a reservation for 2 for outside. We were marched to a table INSIDE right next to the front door. No thanks. I had to chase the hostess back to the alley and say, "I don't want to sit inside, I made the reservation for outside." Green tank top with a brunette ponytail snapped at me saying, "We don't have available tables outside!!" Well, then I'm not staying here. The nice girl standing next to her said, "Oh yes, we do have a table". Great! We were seated at a table for 6 which was weird since it was so busy. Green tank top stormed over right after the came, then chastised us because it was only 2 of us and the reservation was for 4. NO, again, I made a reservation for TWO OUTSIDE. So she made us move then said she was going to comp my friend's asparagus, which she didn't. Our server was also rude! Didn't refill water and was slow to get a second drink. She kept walking right past our table then standing at the bar. It was like we were bothering her. Then miraculously they could see us and were quick to try and clear our plates even though we were still eating. I work hard for my money. When I go out I want to relax and have a nice time, not be annoyed or angered. The food tasted good, but was not freshly prepared. The sauce on the plate had that sitting out film over the top. I've been here before COVID, but don't remember the service being this terrible. I was sorry I didn't tip lower.

Absolutely loved this place! I don't get out to Geneva much but what I thought was a small place turned out to have an awesome back patio! French onion soup and shrimp skewers were delicious and the cocktails are great with an awesome wine selection. Go and get "preserved" over there!

Very nice establishment. I really wasn’t too hungry so I ordered the Mac and Cheese. It was very good, rich, and filling. My girlfriend ordered the butterkase grilled cheese—she stated it was a tad bland and that a tomato slice would have made it much more flavorful.

Super cool covered patio with live music on the weekends. With heaters throughout, it can be used year round. On colder nights you will want to dress accordingly. They have a full bar and a decent draft beer list. The food is pretty good AND there is a take out chicken place on the ally you walk in that is killer! You have to get the rice balls, they are amazing. We have been many times during Covid and will continue to frequent far after. Please consider liking this review if helpful.

Our outdoor back bar (named Social Bar) has been completely fitted for comfort and safety during the winter pandemic. - Fully open on all four sides for max fresh air circulation - We've invested HEAVILY in heating above every table and all around the bar, which keeps the ambient temp as high as 60+ degrees even in very cold weather - QR codes for no-contact online menus - Rigorous hand-washing rules, cleaning of surfaces/supplies - Mask mandate when not seated and for all staff - Personal, wrapped fleece blankets for single use only - Light canvas ceiling to reflect heat and keep out all precipitation - Distanced tables and bar seats Keep it safe & social. See pictures on facebook and google. Cheers!
