★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brianna Rowles · Jan 2026

Smaller than expected. Food was okay. We had ordered the Short Rib Sandwich that was on special. Espresso martini was not great. Service was good. Overall 3/5.

Oh my goodness...delicious food, exceptional service, & a great atmosphere. If want a quiet place to dine, go upstairs. We had the upstairs dining area all to ourselves until about 630 p.m. Food was amazing! The empty bowl was a cesar salad that we crushed before I could even take a picture. The appetizer dumplings we definitely recommend ordering. We had the short ribs pizza. They have all sorts of house specialty cocktails & interesting beers.Our 2 waiters were so friendly & very helpful with our questions. Atmosphere is great. We love all of the wood features throughout the restaurant. The inside is beautiful!!! We highly recommend you stop here on your way through Scranton. We will be going back.

My wife and I made reservations here for our date night. Was sat at a small table upstairs for 2 next to the bar. Kind of wish it was in the front room where it was a little quieter. We were greeter in a timely manner by the waiter. We were a little disappointed in the drink selections but there was still a few that met our taste. We decided to share everything with each other on our date. So we got the wedge salad, artichoke dip, and the short rib pizza. We each got the whiskey smash as our drink. Drinks were delicious as well as all the food. We were a little disappointed with the service as our waiter never came back to check on us or see if we wanted another drink. A bar tender came out from behind the bar and tended to us finally. After dinner we had some desserts to share. A Russian

What a delicious surprise. From the over 18 beers on tap to the delicious pizza. This spot has excellent food, service, and ambiance. The patio allows pups too. Win/win for a wonderful evening. And yes - get the pizza and the dumplings.

Really enjoyed our first visit here. Close to the Scanton Cultural Center. Food/Cocktails and Service was great!
