"I really want to like this place, but they have made it difficult for me.The first time we went, everything was just about perfect. The Savannah Crab Soup was to die for, the rest of the meal was wonderful, and the service was great. It was a bit pricey at over $40 per person when all was said and done, but we didn’t mind that much because of the great experience.I’ve been back several times now and each time has been a HUGE disappointment. They never have a full menu saying they are out this or that and last time they were not serving SEVERAL of the items in the menu. I have wanted the scallops many times now and have never been able to try them because each time they say they are out.Also, EVERY time I’ve been lately I’ve had to ask them to bring me my soup because they forget to bring it. I don’t expect the service to be perfect, but I’d like my soup to come out before my entree and not have to ask for it. Especially when I’m spending so much money.And this last time after we had gotten our meals, I overheard a waitress (a different waitress from ours) tell another table what the specials were. We we never told of any specials and it would have been nice to know them ahead of time.The atmosphere is casual, so I wasn’t expecting them to treat me like royalty, but if I’m going to drop $40 per person in a restaurant, I expect to at least be treated like I’m a valued customer. And except for that first visit, I almost felt like I was a nuisance to them for being there.After my first visit, I recommended this restaurant to several people and have gotten feedback that they did not have a good experience. They said the food was good, but the service wasn’t great and that for how much it costs, they won’t be going back.It looks like our first visit was the exception to the rule at this restaurant.I still think their Savannah Crab Soup is absolutely delicious. But from now on when I want some, I’m just going to get a bowl to go so I don’t have to endure an entire evening there."

"(Last visited 12/22/2021. Want to see a video review instead of reading? Head on over to The Hungry Road on YouTube and search for this restaurant! On our way to see House of Gucci at the AMC theaters in Plainville and we stopped off at 50 West nearby to have a bite before seeing the show. A friend of ours in the Wingaddicts Facebook group recommended this place to us because of their braised wings, which I had never had before so here 's how things went!Atmosphere/Appearance: This place delivers an excellent, chic and rustic vibe, but with an upper-scale tavern-like twist. There 's a nice outdoor section for the warmer months and the restaurant has plenty of seating split into several different sections. One of my favorite aspects of this place was the high-top bench booths. You could sit higher up off the ground, but let your feet swing at the same time. It 's not often that I run across something like that. It was a Thursday evening and the restaurant was quiet around 5:30pm, but I 'm sure business picked up later.Service: Our server was actually the bartender and she was awesome. Because it was so slow she was able to run the bar and take care of us. She was sweet, asked us a lot of questions and made it seem like she really wanted to get to know us. We appreciated that. The owner even came out to talk to us when he discovered when I was filming. Regardless, we appreciated the hospitality.Food: We were here during happy hour so we took advantage of it! We started off with their Goat Cheese Balls. They 're lightly breaded panko balls served with an orange jalapeno marmalade. They were soft and CRAZILY tender. Like, you didn 't even need to chew. They just melted away right in your mouth leaving behind plenty of flavor and some good spice. So the first flavor of wings we had were the Garlic Parmesan. They 're a wet sauce and described as slow-braised . This creates a fall-off-the-bone sensation and it works so well. They were a little on the smaller side and the flavor was light, but they were very good. Next up was Buffalo and they 're cooked in the same slow-braised manner, all the wings here are cooked like that. The Buffalo was creamy, medium and pretty straightforward. Spicy Thai J was next and it was very intriguing. It tasted exactly how the name describes. It was a great balance of Thai flavors and j flavors. Last, but not least was Spicy House Sauce . There wasn 't even a description for this you just have to be adventurous. Lol. There was a bit of spicy Sriracha, red peppers, some sweetness, garlic and black pepper. Very good flavors, likely my favorite of the night. After that we went for the cheese quesadilla with short-rib. Let me tell you somethin '. It was SUPER cheesy, succulent, savory and DELICIOUS. To wash it all down, the owner gifted me a White Chocolate Peppermint Martini. It tasted exactly like a candy cane, but if a brown stripe were added. It was sweet and has that distinct twang of peppermint. Delicious.Value: The wings were about $11.00 per order and each came with 7 wings. Like I mentioned, the wings were small, but the quality was there. The goat cheese balls were $5.00 and they came in an order of 3. I could 've ordered 26 of these and been in absolute Heaven. They were that good. The short-rib quesadilla was $8.00 and absolutely worth it. Granted, this is my perspective of happy hour so I recommend coming at that time, because you know the real menu prices will naturally be more expensive.In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here. I 'd certainly come back to try out out some real entrees or just hit happy hour hard before going to the movies again!If you made it this far in the review, I appreciate you reading.
