“ Food choices are different, but I enjoyed my meal. Smaller portion sizes were nice. Good selection of draft beers. It's a little dark in the bar and main dining area. The Staff was very friendly. ”
“ Great food. The fish and chips are awesome here, the wings are fantastic, and (a special) the ramen was amazing too. Only issue is it can be somewhat slow sometimes, but it’s still fantastic. Takeout is a great option too. ”
“ Wonderful farm to table experience that makes me want to come back for more. An amazing seasonal menu that gives a large variety of eaters something to choose from. The staff was very friendly, personable and well spoken about their menu. Great selection of prohibition style cocktails and locally/independent brewery’s. They even have smaller ounces of beers on tap for you to purchase incase you either aren’t looking to drink a lot or you were looking for flights, I highly recommend getting a few and sampling. Priced reasonably in my opinion for the quality and care that each dish receives and you are helping local businesses as well. The music, atmosphere, staff and overall vibe makes this a must hit stop if you are in the area, or heck, even if you are looking to try something new; it was worth a 30 minute drive from where I was located. Give this place a shot, you won’t be disappointed! Extra tip, save room for dessert, it’s worth it. ”
“ A Hidde GEM that is not so hidden. Tony the owner is very passionate about the arts. From food to drinks to the art hanging on the wall and the music that is played he puts thought into it all. This Farm to table restaurant is a fusion of foods. Every flavor, spice and sauce is there for a reason. From the start of the meal to the dessert you could not go wrong with anything on this seasonal changing menu. 12/10 hands down recommend. Don't forget to make a reservation so they know you are coming. ”
“ 10/10 would return! I went for dinner with my 4yr old and my husband on a Thrusday night. I will say it was pretty dead in there, but it was nice not to have a lot of people around. The food was A, and the service was fantastic! The server we had knew everything, he told us the origin of the restaurant and did help explain everything on the menu so well. Also side note, the art work on the walls were pretty awesome, and for sale too! ”
“ Excellent local bar with wonderful service (Dave rocks! Very friendly) and even better food. The place was warm and inviting, not too loud, and is exactly the kind of place i would want to take my friends for a night after work for drinks. The menu changes 3 times a year and makes strong use of local farms and suppliers. Will for sure be coming again! ”
“ We finally went in after living here for 5 years and I'm so glad we did! I've been to over 400 breweries and the tap list at Black Gryphon has some real winners on it. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. Staff super friendly and welcoming. We had a great time and I'll be bringing my craft beer crew frequently for some good brews. Cheers! ”
“ This place is my new favorite. We've gone twice now. They make a decadent steak, and the perfect chicken fingers. After dinner, you NEED a Cafe Pucci. The server is awesome, and I loved that he remembered us. ”
