    I had the burger with bacon and it was excellent. The fries had rosemary and at first I was uncertain about the flavor but it really grew on me. The server was very pleasant and attentive. Holyoke does not have a ton of well done casual dining choices and this might be close to the top. A very wide selection of beer and a full liquor selection.

    The food was amazing. Our appetizer was Jerk Wings. Dry rub nice flavor. I had a burger with Rosemary fries. Both cooked right. My wife had the Handmade Cavatelli. It had sausage and broccoli and it had a great flavor. Our server was awesome. Go there!!

    My friend and I are so happy we found this little gem on google while we were out Xmas shopping. Easy to find and park. We were seated right away, William was friendly, happy & knew the menu very well with excellent recommendations, which were spot on! The burger was “real” & delicious, along with the rosemary fries and a side of Jerk wings. My friend ordered the butternut salad & fish sandwich which she said both were incredible. Oh & the to go pistachio ricotta cake was great also! We will be back again to try more of the menu. Thank you :))

    Found this place when our first choice was closed. And we were so glad we did! Our server was exceptional (I forget her name but 10/10 service) We got a flatbread for an appetizer and it was hands down the best flatbread I’ve ever had. Both of our meals were excellent as well. Not to mention the dessert was amazing. We weren’t even done with the appetizer before discussing coming back again and adding it to the top of our list for the area. Nice atmosphere, excellent food and service.

    Stopped in for dinner at around 8pm on Saturday. We were seated quickly. A tip is that they actually have a parking lot dehund the restaurant, and the main entrance is actually in back. We didn't realize we could park in bavk and ended up parking in street and enter bar area from main street though. The service was prompt and friendly. For dinner we had Beef Carpaccio Jerk Wings Caprese Flatbread Ceasar Salad Tavern Burger Pork Porterhouse Limoncello Marscopone Cake Chocolate Hazelnut Torte All the food was prepared well. The meats were all cooked perfectly, including the burger. Food didn't take very long to come out. The Pork Porthouse was cooked medium rare and nice and tender. The wings were juicy and came off bone easily. The carpaccio was prepared with capers and other items on top, sort of like a tartare would. The burger was tastey. The deserts were excellent, all come with homemade whipped cream and either a chocolate or raspberry drizzle. The limoncello cake was nice and light. The chocolate torte was exceptional, with layers for flavors and textures. Overall would define recommend, and would come back.
