    Noting the several positive reviews, I will concede that some menu items may be excellent, but our experience during "happy hour (which ends at 5 pm) was sub par. First, beer is the only drink discounted. Non discounted wine is charged at more than twice that price. Our "wings" appetizer was horrible...mostly breaded and fried in a foul tasting oil....likely not even palatable to my canine friends. The staff however is very friendly, efficient and commendable, especially the manager who comped our uneaten "chicken wings"! This is just to warn fellow patrons looking for a happy hour spot....and to advise Karl Strauss corporate management to invest a bit more in their choice of ingredients, as well as the cheap metal stools used for seating (very uncomfortable), which might conceivably result in filling an almost empty restaurant.

    You've gone up in price so much. To a point where it doesn't even make sense? Why is your plain mac on tap so much? Are you using hand made imported from Italy noodles or something? 19.95 is actually insane. I will never return here again and its not even about affording it, it's about being outright scammed by you.
