High prices, odd menu, child being born, & Station House's awesomeness kept me away prior to that.<br /><br />My burger was good & the 2 drinks w brunch (including almost all tap beers) made it a good deal. It definitely seems they are moving in right direction & hope the slight refresh does the trick for them.

I thought the food was poorly presented, no value for the price. I thought the decor was banal and the design of the place made it very noisy. Not sure if adding a pair of flat screens is the answer.

First, the drawing of the pig has no charm whatsoever - see Porky Pig for comparison). Second, the food was bland, overpriced and the décor was awkward. I went once and never went back.
