Really wanted to like this more than I did. Ive been twice in three days. First day had the pork two ways. Pork belly was good, but the chop was dry and flavorless. Second chance had the Steak Frites. Meat was cooked perfectly, but again had no flavor and was topped with a weird gravy (red wine I think, but just strange). Both times I tried the wings (different kind each time) and while they were fine, there was nothing really special about either kind. The atmosphere is fun and I love the decor, but it is really loud, and dont get a table neat the garage door, because the sun will blind you. Service: Wait staff was great. Attentive and helpful. But, we waited so long for our appetizers that by the time they came the mains were almost on the table. Really, the beat thing about it for me is the great selection of beers on tap. Next time I think Ill just sit at the bar and have an app. Hoping that in the next few months things get better and hope to make it a regular.

Fantastic eats and atmosphere!!! This place is a find. If you want the kind of thoughtfully, playfully planned eats and eatery you are used to finding in OTR without the crazy crowds and challenging parking, look no further. The menu is surprising and delightful. The food is rich, flavorful, delicious and interesting. The drink menu is satisfying as well. The decor is a good mix of industrial/artsy and warm/homey. The service is excellent. Critics love it and its not hard to see why. Our visit was wonderful and we plan to return. Definitely check it out!!

Great atmosphere. Couples on both sides of us very friendly and engaging. We had the “house board” to start, lots of flavor. I had the Multibeast. It was very good. Could have used some more “kick” to it. (May just be a personal taste). My wife had the Chivito. It was made with 72 hour brisket. She said it was delicious. Finished with home made Gelato. Yum! Very good selection of Beer and Wine. Will definitely go back.

I have found the place to be comfortable, but noisy and the dim lighting is bothersome when trying to read the menu. I am not the only one who finds the menu difficult to read as our server said that many people pull out a flashlight to read the menu. I have had hit or miss luck with the consistency of quality of food. I am hoping as they reach their stride the consistency will even out. Menu has good options.

Quick stop for Cincinnati Burger Week dinner. Our server was incredibly helpful. Burger was tasty. Yummy fries. Appreciated the real heirloom tomatoes in the Caprese salad. I will definitely be back to try more foods from their menu that has monthly offerings. Might bump the stars up to 5 after having a complete dining experience.

My wife and I had a wonderful meal at Tela. Everything–from the service, to the atmosphere, to the food–was spot on. The Cubano sandwich I got was one of the few in the area that looks and tastes authentic. The hand cut fries that came with it were awesome as well. This will definitely be a spot well come back to multiple times!

Excellent place for lunch, especially on a nice day out on the patio. Had the Boulder Mojo IPA on nitro (first IPA Ive had on nitro) and the Short Rib Mac n Cheese. Both were fantastic. The service was excellent as well, never missing a chance to prebus our table or provide us with whatever we needed. I will absolutely return.

My wife and I loved it. She enjoyed her oyster po boy. The highlight for me was the "Royale with cheese". When I saw it on the menu, I immediately thought of Pulp Fiction. The burger itself didnt disappoint. Flavorful, cooked to perfection, and topped with great quality bacon. Id recommend this establishment to anyone.

I would say the ambiance was my favorite part of this spot. Dreamy and low lit. The food was okay..I had the Cubano which was fairly standard. Not too big, could have used a little more meat. Giving 4 stars because they didnt have a changing table in the bath for my daughter so I had to change her in the car mid-meal.

Excellent Gastro Pub offering artisan type, from scratch dishes. Atmosphere is excellent and non typical. We had the pretzels with beer cheese that also came with an insane roasted garlic and caramel dipping sauce. I had the blue cheese wedge and my wife had the chicken salad sandwich. Both great meals.

My friends threw me a very nice Birthday dinner party here. The pretzel appetizers are pricey but very tasty. For dinner I had a burger which was out of this world! They let us bring in our own dessert birthday cupcakes which was so nice! And best of all, I had a drink on the house! Great place.

I love my friends, this place? Not so much. Average hamburger and greasy fries. Service good this time. And expensive, $15 for a bad burger and fries? Previous visit Mediocre food and I got bad service, Im not saying the service is bad, but my service was extremely s l o w

They have food I would never think I would end up trying but it somehow is just awesome and unique. Their brunch is fantastic. Beer selection is great. Atmosphere is awesome but a little crowded. I love the poutine and the place in general. Highly recommend!

Great service and amazing food. Very good fusions of the basics with a delicious twist. Kimchi on a Reuben?! Who woulda thunk it, but my coworkers loved the leftovers. I was too full after the poutine to finish it all :)

Got the brined half chicken and it was delicious. All in all a great place. Their "confit" wings are just messy fried chicken wings. But they were tasty so I wont dock them a star on semantics.

Outstanding Poutine and a very nice beer selection. If you are a Phishead this is the place for you. A bit pricey but when you are the only game in Wyoming you can get away with that.

The food is great. The menu seems simple but you will be amazed at the level of creativity and the fullness of flavor that goes into each dish. I recommend that you go check it out.

Took my girlfriend. Had a great time, the food did not take too long and was really good. I also liked that the place is not expensive and is private and fuzzy

The vibe here is the best! Try the mac and cheese - the pulled pork on top is ridiculous! Always playing great music, staff is cool, atmosphere is laid back.

Awesome, great beer on tap, excellent cocktails. Amazing fries! Loved the royale w/ cheese. Probably my new go to spot for both happy hour, dinner, and lunch
