    If it's a Robert Wiedmaier restaurant you're always in for complex, unique, and original and excellent cuisine. Best calamari you'll get anywhere (not fried) and superior beer options.

    This is the El Camino, and if you don't like drinks with tequila, jalapeno, agave nectar, and blood orange lime, then [bleep] you. Read more

    Food was flavored well. The octopus was fantastic! Got the rockfish which was topped with some sort of salami- this was interesting, kinda shocking but the rice was Cajun style so the flavors blended

    The mussels with white wine broth are delicious. We also enjoyed the asparagus salad, the pomme frites and bread.

    Although I expected a larger selection of mussels on the menu, the food is very good. Great beer selection as well.

    Seafood is the way to go here but don’t overlook the excellent Belgian beers, especially those on tap.

    Bartender was awesome. My friends and I were there for 4 hours and not once did we feel pressure to leave. Food was good and the drinks were better b

    Pretty good. The mussels 1/2 serving is more than enough for 2 people to share. Cucumber cocktail was tasty.

    The fried brisk spirits and bacon, surprisingly delish. Definitely hit up the pork belly if you're a pig lover.

    Service was spotty but the food (lamb meatball appetizer and mussels in white wine and garlic) were very good. Fries are good, not great. The venue itself is very cool.

    Our server Rohit was legit. Spent a ton of time talking with us, wasn't in a hurry, and was super invested in us as customers.

    Waited 45 minutes at the bar for mediocre food because the kitchen (aka our server) "lost our ticket." Save your money and go somewhere else!
