This restaurant is very loud--not just from the conversation, but also from the hissing of the large gleaming stainless steel vats lining the wall behind the bar that runs the length of the dining room. All of the noice is reflected by the beautiful stone walls and a concrete floor. The place is family-friendly, but I was disappointed that when ordering root beer at a brewery they would bring out a can of A&W. I would have expected at least some obscure bottled root beer to be provided. The sandwich had an enormous amount of folded corned beef in thick pressed slices. The meat and the sauerkraut were both tangy and moist--dipping it in the thousand island mellows it out for a delicious taste. The cheese, while not Swiss, blends well with the pumpernickel to make a good foundation for the other strong flavors.

They gave me a huge wad of sauerkraut, making a very moist sandwich. The place was loud, and the servers were friendly. I loved the real corned beef. The cole slaw was heaven in a dish. Their Pioneer Porter was very nice--bold but not aggressive.
