There is a full bar at one end of the room and that was filled. Our server was polite and friendly and took care of our requests with a smile. We had the Herd Burger with Fries and Caesar Salad with Seared Chicken. Our meals were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The burger was outstanding and the fries were served crispy and hot.
