Beacons Restaurant

I rarely give bad reviews but...I don't know if I hit an off-night (considering the other reviews I've read) but I had a terrible experience eating here tonight.I ordered a ribeye steak with spinach and mashed potatoes. To me this looked like the kind of place (pub style food) that would really do beef well. For $48 I got a tough and flavorless steak covered in what seemed to be canned beef gravy. It was served with room temp mashed potatoes (yuck) and no steak knife to saw through this thing--just a table knife. It was too tough and flavorless to be a real ribeye (what I ordered)--I don't know what it was. To boot, the server acted like he was bored with his job and never commented on the fact that I had only eaten a quarter of the steak. And no, I didn't stiff him the tip at the end even though it would have been deserved. I hate sending back food, but given the apathy of the server, I didn't even want to try. Also, an undercooked or overcooked steak can be fixed but a piece of meat that wouldn't even meet the standards for select, let alone choice beef, meant that nothing could remedy the situation. Tip: covering a tough piece of meat in gravy can't hide it's flaws. On a positive note, the bartender was great: thank you!My way of handling an experience like this: just never return.

This restaurant has a huge bar and friendly bartender. Drinks are good and the food is delicious The Mediterranean board is so good . I love the fried pita bread that comes with it . They will also bring you gluten free crackers if needed. I get this appetizer every time. I had the sword fish special and was very happy .

Had my holiday party here last weekend in their function space on the second fooor. It was nice and open and had plenty of room for us. We had grilled chicken, roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, pasta, and salad. The food was decent, nothing to write home about, but it was good quality. We thought it was odd that there was no bread. There were butter packets on the table, but no bread. At the end, there was a lot of food left over. At any other restaurant we've been to, we've been given boxes to take home the leftover food, but we were told they don't do that, something about liability. I don't know, every single restaurant gives to-go boxes and I have never heard about any liability concerns. It just seemed like such a waste of food. Hopefully they weren't planning on reusing it!All in all, the waitstaff was friendly. The open bar was a nice plus, though that is more props to the organizer of our party, but it was nice that we had that option. A good time was had by all.

Phenomenal food with excellent service! The interior has a warm feeling with ample space for both dining and event planning. You will never feel cramped in this spacious location and if you need to wait for food, bar service is quick and generous with the poor. The Hong Kong noodles had a pleasant sweet combination with peanuts and chicken. While the pear salad was both light and sweet with a good combination of dressing and fragrance. Highly recommend.

This is one of those places where you go for the vibes. Our experience was that the apps were better than the entrees. For the apps, we had the Buffalo cauliflower and the mushroom bread, which were both delicious. For the entrees we had the Hong Kong Noodles, which was super sweet and the Grilled Salmon. The salmon was ok, but we were not fans of the bean salad. The staff was kind enough to switch out the sides for us, which we were thankful for. All in all, a nice neighborhood place, especially if you want to catch the game.

Went to this restaurant last night for probably the fifth time. But, what I don't remember ever was it being so loud on the inside that you could not even have a conversation plus, I ordered the pork chop and it was not very good. I think it will be quite a while before I go back there unless I sit outside.

Excellent bar and atmosphere with great service ! Food is good but somewhat limited menu however they are good at what they do.

Food and device was excellent. Would definitely go back again. We ate outside and it was nice. COVID safe.

Went there to celebrate my wife's birthday. Interior is nicely done. Our waiter was very attentive. We had the chicken wings, a chicken caesar salad, the pork chop and the crab cake sandwich. The food itself is ok, but grossly overpriced given it's quality. I would say that this is the type of place you go more for the ambiance than the food.

Stumbled upon this restaurant on a work trip and was. It disappointed. The building resembles an old home and has a welcoming and warming ambiance. The bartender was very knowledgeable about their beer selection and food offerings. I ordered the daily special, Bolognese, and it was FIRE!
