Panther Pub

This place does one thing really well: decor.  The dining room and bar are really cool looking.  It has a sleek, modern look that would be a good example of how to style a bar/restaurant.  

Unfortunately, the service and food do not measure up to the atmosphere.  Especially the service.  I've been there probably two dozen times or more, and at different times of day (and with one or two exceptions) the bar/wait staff do not exhibit ANY urgency or desire to serve the customers.  They sit at the bar, gab and chat with other customers or each other while glasses sit empty.  We once sat at the bar for 15 minutes with no menus and watched the bartender waltz outside to talk with someone, leaving the bar totally unattended.  On another occasion, our waitress evidently went off duty without telling us and we sat and sat waiting for our bill.  We finally went to her as she sat at the bar having a drink and asked for our bill.  She told us she was 'off duty.'  Uh, ok . . .  They're nice people, but there is no leadership or sense of professionalism.

The food is ok.  It was better when they first opened.  The burger is pretty good, and we've gotten some good specials there.  It's inconsistent, though.  We continue to go there because it's convenient for a few drinks or a low-key lunch.  But, the service needs improving if they want to remain busy.

I'm biased because I go here all the time and it's my neighborhood bar.  Upscale atmosphere, friendly bar staff, good food.  Burger is solid.  Can get loud, service usually good but not always.

I had been in here for a beer previously but last night was the first time I went to eat and have to say I was impressed.  Great Specials.  I had the wing special, which was there twice fried wings in a garlic sauce.  They were a great start.  Also had the homemade turkey burger which I had read about on Yelp.  Had a bit too much onion, but compared to the regular drab turkey burger you get everywhere else it was great. Good beer selection.  I had a stout, that was very drinkable.  Great atmosphere, and food.  Will definitely be back.
