Absolutely incredible experience here tonight. This was our first visit but certainly will not be our last! The service was top notch, our entrees were phenomenal, and the chocolate bread pudding pretty much puts every other dessert, everywhere in history, to shame. It was so. So. SO. GOOD.

It was our first visit. We ordered food and drinks. One person ordered a Mai Tai. The waiter had no idea what that was, even though it was on the menu. The drink that was served was made with grapefruit juice. It was horrible, but we couldn't say anything because we never saw the waiter again until we really needed to leave. The drink went to waste. We then ordered three desserts to go - 2 bread pudding and 1 carrot cake. Neither bread pudding had the Caiseal bourbon hard sauce and the carrot cake was missing the Maple Cream Cheese Sauce & Spiced Bourbon Caramel. The carrot cake does not look like carrot cake.

I tried the Fried Brussel Sprouts and Bulgogi Bowl based on my waitress' recommendation. Both were very good. The bowl had great flavor and the meat was tender. A touch of red pepper paste would have made it even more delicious. The broccoli though fresh and cooked well was a bit jarring when mixed in, so I ate them first. I also tried the Plum Rosemary Ale - good but a touch sour - and the Pineapple Coconut - light and easy to sip. Overall, the service and food were both very good 👍

I had the Bulgogi bowl. Was a little spicy, but very good and they had apple cobbler! 😋 This place has been open for 5 years and so underrated. Definitely can't miss when you come here and Wes was a great bartender!

The vanguard Brewpub hosted our event. The premiere for our feature film entitled “The Ten Doors”. There staff made themselves available for pre-production tech walk-through and food planning. The day of the event everything went as planned. My guest enjoyed great food & drinks in the wonderful atmosphere call the Vanguard. A great job done by all.
