Reviews
"Cozy vibes and their inviting menu (with comfort food on it) drew us in on a chilly evening! We didn’t know anything about the restaurant’s history (the rebranding) before our visit, so we have nothing to compare it to. Food was great but portion was definitely smaller than expected, esp given the price range ~$20+). The tomato soup and grilled cheese had fantastic flavors. I think I tasted some type of dried fig in the tomato soup? It added that special crunch and flavor that showed their attention to details. The grilled cheese was delicious too. It did say on the menu that they were “mini”, but they were so tasty that I wish there was a third piece. They were also a little disproportional to the big bowl of tomato soup. My partner had the fish and chips, and the fish tasted fresh, perfectly fried and seasoned. There was a generous portion of the fries. Again, wish there was more fish. Service - The bartender was busy so she did not really converse with us but to take our order."
"Did not know it was gluten friendly until I read reviews! I never visited the old cider place and had no preconceptions about the space before trying it out. I liked the interior which is a lighter pub style. Simple, not pretentious. Pleasant colors. We had an awesome hamburger, cheese curds, and tomato soup /mini grilled cheese. We tried cider, wine, and alcohol :). Loved the cider selection. Drinks were good. We spent $75 for the 2 of us - could have spent more, could have spent less. The menu said "mini grilled cheese" and it was small, but tasty. The soup by contrast was quite large. Will have to try the fish and chips next time. Don't know these people that complain about portions. I thought portions were perfectly sized, fully eaten at the restaurant, and no leftovers to rot in the refrigerator. I've been a fan of Locus Wines near my office in Pioneer Square, and this is a quick streetcar ride from there."
"Of all the places I've tried in this area, this had the weakest mixed drinks. The food is higher priced for what you get compared to other bars around the area as well. Staff was nice enough, reviews online say there's a good beer selection here even though it's a cider place. It does not have much in the way other than canned beers. The reason it is rated at 4 stars is the simplicity of adding basil oil to the marinara and a thicker spiced apple sauce/chutney for the fried cheese curds. Attention to detail here always is the real seller."
"The cheese curds and Brussels were amazing. Had the fish and chips for my entree and it was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone with celiacs but you’ll enjoy this spot if you’re not gluten free too."
