| - The patio is nice! If you are looking for a cozy place to go sit outside that isn't next to a busy street, this is a good place to go. They do not allow cigar smoking until after 10 o'clock PM though, (even outside) so if you are looking for a place to enjoy a cigar, keep that in mind. The menu is unusual with a variety of different fares like goat cheese friiters, Buffalo chili and Ahi Tuna. I had the fritters and a plate of Ostrich tacos. The fritters were interesting (quite rich though) and I would have them again, but they were "missing something". I felt that way about the tacos as well but quickly rectified that with the addition of the garlic chili paste. The garlic chili paste turned the *okay* tacos into something spectacular! I will eat there again, but will mostly be going for the on draught Hobgoblin Ale and the patio. (they have draught Belhaven and some other quality European beers as well) I have read mixed reviews about the service there but would have to say that my experience was excellent. The staff was welcoming, informed about the menu and took time to see that I was a happy customer. I went on a Tuesday night, that may have somethig to do with it. Pricing was a little high (38 dollars for Ostrich tacos, goat cheese fritters, and three pints of Hobgoblin) but that was not surprising to me since it isn't your typical "bar food" and Bud. I will definitely go there again simply because I liked the place and the people, but I see it more as a cool bar/patio than a destination restaurant.
