Really didn't want to like this place it was a longer drive for dinner but it was pretty good. Plenty of free parking , well crafted cocktails, decent service , good portions of honest food, plenty of tv's to watch sports and racing and a band . if I had one complaint the guys watching the trotters were kinda dingy looking but didn't bother anyone I didn't want to like it but it was better than most

We have been wanting to visit this establishment for some time and finally had the chance to. The food is excellent and portions are huge! Our server, Karilynn was exceptional and very personable. Lots of beers on tap too! We will definitely be back to sample more of their menu!

Searching for dinner on a Thursday night, and having read positive reviews, I took a chance. Sadly it was a disappointment. Since this was football season, I was happy to see a special NFL Thursday Night beer and wine happy hour price. Apparently this only applied within the bar area, not in the restaurant seating. To avail myself of the special, I had to order from the bar, then bring my beer back to the table myself. So we start with a bad mood. Pushing onward, I decided to try a burger and fries, since that was highly mentioned. I sent back the first batch of fries, because they came to me in a solid lump. Awful. The second batch could be identified was fries, but more like fry crumbs -- about 1-inch to 2-inches long. I had high hopes for the burger. Regretfully, it was much smaller than I'd expected, and just totally unremarkable. So we rate a 3: nothing particularly bad, just generally mediocre.

Sunday evening dinner, not crowded at the Spectrum, even found a parking place by the elevators.No reservation but we were seated immediately in the small room to the left of the hostess station. A bit quieter in there and a little more of a view. Sam was our waiter and greeted us immediately.Love the garlic bread and we both had the large tri-tip with peanut cole slaw. Wife had the sweet potato fries and I opted for the roasted broccoli. Not a good choice. Stringy, and burned, not caramelized at all. Should have had the steamed version.Sam packed our leftovers and gave me a substitute side order. Nice touch.

This is a great place for lunch ( I have not had dinner there) with a menu that covers all palets. You can choose from outdoor seating, the bar area or the regular dining area. The service is very good and the menu items unique - I had the tuna tartare appetizer for my meal and it was perfect. My friend had the salmon salad and not only was it beautifully presented but, the salmon was excellent. It was served on top of a large salad with an assortment of farm to table ingredients and a lite dressing. The servers were professional and helped make our meal very enjoyable. I asked the people at the next table how they enjoyed their meals and they said everything was excellent . One person had the pasta and he said it was absolutely perfect!

If you are looking for a good happy hour bar scene then this is the place! Good bar food with a good selection. My favorites are goat cheese and beet salad, Brussel sprouts that are roasted and the fried green beans. The reason for the 3 star rating is the so so service. Everyone seems rushed and not happy.

Been here once before for Fatherâs Day brunch. The crab egg Benedict was delicious and so were the mimosas. During that visit I noticed they had pretzel bread on the menu. So when I found myself in the neighborhood again I couldnât resist. Had the pretzel bread appetizer (Bru & Cru). So worth it. The mustard does have a kick; A little goes a long way. Per the recommendation of my waitress, Alise, I tried the mussels appetizer for my main meal. I was not disappointed. Recommend saving some of the pretzel bread for dunking; way better that the garlic bread served with the meal. When I was deciding upon dessert the hostess noticed me pondering what to get from afar and came over to suggest the vanilla bread pudding with caramel sauce. She was spot on. So save room for dessert!!! Great atmosphere and food! Worth the cost.

The service was spot on, helpful but not too in your face. The minestrone soup arrived swiftly and was delicious. Cannelloni was just perfect. Served pipping hot with the pasta just right with super sauce and the cheese topping melted just right. I really did not need dessert but the cheesecake finished things off nicely! Highly recommended!!!

After several visits, the standards seem to be good. Had a beer flight, then a grilled tri-tip sandwich with garlic fries. The mixed drinks are light sometimes but beer is good. I've had good meals and average meals but never a bad one. It's a little loud but it is very festive for a foodie restaurant.

Huge portions, good price. Family atmosphere and live music on a Saturday night. I enjoyed my meal. Service was fast and attentive. I had the white clam sauce with angel hair and bruschetta. For a single person it was way too much food, however i can see it good forfamilies and ordering to share.
