Stopped by with some friends this afternoon for some drinks and appetizers. We had a pup with us, so decided to sit outside. There is a back patio area, but it was fairly packed so there was additional seating out in the front of the restaurant. Our waiter had a lot of tables to help and was probably a little overwhelmed, but still did a great job of helping us. I tried the pear-fect spritz which was good-- there is pear pulp at the bottom of the cup. We also had the fried Mozzarella and fries to share-- the sauces were great! Overall, will definitely come again and try their famous mussels next time!

I came here on a Monday night and was immediately greeted by two very friendly bartenders. The atmosphere felt relaxed & chill which is just what I needed after a stressful day. Great variety of menu options, and a thoughtfully constructed tap list. I got the Blackened Salmon sandwich, which was great in terms of quality, price, and serving size. I also ABSOLUTELY LOVED the Irish red I ordered--silky smooth and refreshing. Augie's had been recommended to me over the years and it's a great neighborhood spot. I'll definitely be back!

Great food and I am sure the service would've been excellent but for them being short staffed... I went to Augie's this past Sunday night because it was restaurant week and they were listed as a participant. The hostess wasn't aware that they were participating so we had to ask her for a special menu which the bartended provided. They had a nice menu and I wanted mussels but they weren't on the restaurant week menu. Luckily, my friend ordered some so I got to taste them and they were the best thing we got. (Mediterranean Mussels) I got steak and cheese egg rolls for my starters and the Jambalaya pasta for my entree which was delicious. My friend got the chili dogs which she said were great. We sat at the bar because they didn't have many tables available and their main dining room was closed. The bar wasn't bad but the bartender seemed to be the only one serving so we had to try to get her attention most time we needed something. Still, wasn't bad but I am sure the next time we go will be great.

I have been meaning to come here for a few years now. I absolutely adore seafood, especially mussels. So I'm really happy I was finally able to come by and check them out. I made a reservation for a bar seat tonight but it wasn't necessary. They had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and bar seats. They also have an upstairs area but I am not sure if it was open. I was greeted immediately when I arrived by the staff and was directed to the bar area. My water was brought right away and all 3 staff behind the bar interacted with me throughout. It was my first time so they were great about answering questions as well as making sure I was taken care of. I opted for the rum punch and the risotto mussels but added pasta. It was a large portion. The dish came with shrimp, bacon cubes, peppers, seafood broth and parmsean. I opted out of the peppers, not a fan. The music was a great selection with a mix of old and new music. The place wasn't packed but there was a good crowd that probably crossed over from happy hour. I'm excited to come back and try multiple other menu options soon!

So let's get into the vibe of the spot, this looks to be a comfortable neighborhood atmosphere, it's cozy with an awesome outside patio option. Our server Chris was nice and even changed the tv to show the track and field for the Olympics. So just let it be known everyone was super friendly. The mussels were delicious and my fried Mozzarella was incredible. My drink was strong and delicious. If I had any critiques there were too many nets and flies to compete with to stay for dinner and a part of that is nature right lol So I will own I am a little bit of a princess in that respect . However in the winter I would totally be back .
