Mixed Experience: Service Overly Attentive, Food Lacked Flavor
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The space was clean and comfortable, well-lit with various comfortable seating sections, creating a pleasant ambience. However, the service team was overly attentive, almost invasive, which was a bit much. We misunderstood the gratuity, thinking it was included in the food price, but it was an additional 20% on top of the food ticket. Regarding the food, my hamburger arrived cold as it sat waiting for the second plate. I ordered the prime plate, hoping for flavorful Yukon mash, but it lacked any potato flavor, was mealy, and not palatable, tasting liquidy and 'fridgy'. This was probably my last visit.

Rich Bar Food, Quiet Monday Night
My experience at this restaurant featured very rich bar food. The space is nice, though it was dead on a November Monday night during an NFL game. We appreciated the spacious new space and the fact that the 20% service charge is automatic. Parking was a bit of a challenge, with only a few spaces available in the free parking lot, making it somewhat difficult to find a spot.

Beautiful Ambiance, Slow Service, Mediocre Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The ambiance was truly beautiful, creating an excellent atmosphere. However, the service was very slow, which detracted from the overall experience. While the food was good, the salmon was mediocre for the price. It felt super expensive for the service and quality of food. It's a shame because the ambiance is excellent, but I likely won’t go back.

Great Food, Service, and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I've watched the Mariners win 3-0 every time I've visited from here. The food was great, the amenities were great, and the overall service experience was great.

Tasty Pub Food with a GF Warning
My experience at this restaurant was positive. It's a nice place with typical pub food that was tasty. I particularly enjoyed the pretzel bites, though I must note they are not gluten-free as listed, which was a humorous surprise given how good they were LOL. The atmosphere and service were both rated a 5 out of 5, with a moderate noise level. The food itself received a 4 out of 5.

Amazing Food, Great Vibe, Top Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The patio fireplace was perfect for our group, creating a cozy atmosphere. With TVs everywhere showing different games, no one missed out on the action. Our bartender, Mike, was exceptional – fast, friendly, and made us feel like regulars from the start. Manager Sarah also contributed to the welcoming vibe, working alongside the team. The food was a standout, far exceeding typical bar fare. It was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. This place truly has it all.

Perfect Corporate Event Venue!
We co-hosted a corporate roundtable event at the Victor Tavern Eastlake this week and it was perfect! The beautiful location, combined with the evening sunshine, created a wonderful atmosphere. The food was fantastic, and we were provided with a private room, covering all our needs. We were also graced with the most amazing and attentive server, Tirzah, thank you again! Everyone that attended was so happily surprised at the location, the quality of the food, and the amazing service. We would definitely host here again in a heartbeat!

Overpriced and Mediocre Food
We really wanted to love this new addition to the neighborhood, but their food is overpriced and mediocre. They quickly got rid of their $9 after 9p menu after unveiling it, which was disappointing. Our friend group was excited to have a new post-trivia late-night food option to hit up regularly, but not for a $23+ burger. We won’t be returning; the ambiance and service are mid, and the food is just simply not worth the crazy $$ and service charge.

Great Staff, Atmosphere, and Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The staff were great, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I was pleased with the menu selection and chose the fish and chips. Everyone's meal looked delicious and seemed fresh from the grill. The indoor dining area was not very loud, making it easy for our large get-together. I would definitely come back again, no doubt.
