Living almost an hour a away, and hearing all the rants about the great beer selection (they do have by far one of the best selection of beer on tap in South Florida) I really looked forward to the experience. I took the day off, and took the drive with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday. Yes the beer selection is great, and the menu does a nice job to organize the selections. We went for a midday lunch; the menu has a nice selection of food, everything from sandwiches to full dinners. Upon recommendation from the server we both ordered burgers. My girlfriend ordered the "surf and turf" which was burger topped with lobster. The burgers were a nice size and were cooked to order (hers did have a nice amount of lobster). The food was good, not worth taking the drive for, but good if you live in the area. The service is extremely poor. The tab was fair for 2 Burgers and 4 craft beers it was just over $55. When spending that kind of money on burgers and beer the level of service should have been more attentive and professional.\r

We waited at our table for several minutes for the server to come greet us, and than she only stated that I will be with you in a few minutes as she shuffled off wearing a pair of crocs. When she did finally come back and take our drink order it was 8 to 10 minutes before she returned with our 2 beers and 2 glasses of water. Not being in a rush, (plan being to sample several different beers) we asked the server to came back and take our food order in a few minutes. At this time of day the place had a nice crowd but only about half full. I finished my beer and glass of water; my girlfriend finished her beer and her water (she drinks rather slow). Now sitting with 4 empty glasses on the table. After another few minutes we finally flag down another server and explain we would like to order another round. Our server appeared after a few minutes and again it was 8 to 10 minutes before our drinks were in our hands. A food runner delivered our food, with no sign of our server we were left to fend for ourselves and to grab ketchup and mustard from another table. After we finished our meal, and again all 4 glasses were empty …finally our server again appeared. At his point, we just paid our tab.
