This place is a headache to navigate. No table service and long lines to order. On a busy day, you can wait in line for a half hour or more just to get to the counter and order a beer.

It's also totally disorganized. They have wait staff who can't take any orders. Not for food or beer anyway. All they can do is run orders to the table and get you water. Maybe another fork, if you're lucky.

If you have kids, don't bring them here. It's a disaster. They'll spend a lifetime waiting for a cup of milk or a peanut butter sandwich, and they'll get super cranky in the process. That said, you'll still find plenty of families there, the unwitting parents finding out the hard way.

I honestly can't figure out who this place is for. It's terrible for families. There doesn't seem to be a bunch of young professionals there to meet up, or meet someone new. Not that the environment is conducive to having a conversation anyway. Basically, it seems like they're primarily a brewery and the restaurant is an afterthought.

Go and find out for yourself, because it's probably worth it to visit once to satisfy your curiosity. But best bets are that you'll walk away feeling like the restaurant is just a marketing gimmick, designed to promote their beers.

The food is OK, but not great. It's definitely over priced. They try too hard to be interesting in their menu. Everything sounds good. You'll think, "I never thought of making that dish like that." But the only ingredient they forgot was flavor. Everything is bland.

This place just isn't worth the hassle, or the money.
