Service is great, the place looks nice and the food is good. The brisket sliders are ok, but overated in my opinion. I was disappointed , mainly because you get only 3 for $10 (four would be better). The shreaded (smokey) beef brisket mixed with sauce is like a sloppy joe sitting on a small roll with a really tasty slaw and a pickle slice. Chopped beef would probably work better as the meat tends to pull out of the small sandwich, sometimes in large chunks when eating like a burger. Overall the sliders get a b- from this visitor. On the other hand the burgers are BIG!. The cheeseburger is $10 and looks great. Other menu items were well executed and pleseant. I think $6 for a Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada Pale ale is steep and so it the $8 glass of wine (lowest). But I have to hand it to Tristan Simon, he is a genius. This place works and gets packed. We arrived at 5:30pm (thank god) on a Saturday evening and were seated right away. By 6pm it was standing room only in the bar area for people waiting for tables.
Pros: Service, ambience, neighborhood joint
Cons: Valet service needs repremanding
