| - Went here for a business dinner. It was an OK experience. I was fairly disappointed with the back room area, where we sat. The front space is really charming and warm; the back space is somewhat austere, cold and bland. I also had a LOT of difficulty finding the venue, which apparently all the locals experienced as well. Maybe some street-side signage would help, since the entrance is tucked away on the side?
Beer selection deserves 4 stars- I was very impressed with the local beers on offer -I would have appreciated a handwritten list, but our server was very helpful in providing some suggestions.
Food was OK but not stellar. The shrimp and grits were apparently an exception (according to a fellow diner), but it looked too heavy/creamy for my taste. I had the Bay of Fundy Salmon, which was OK but frankly, pretty bland. I enjoyed the appetizers more, which included the Pot Stickers (unique), Deviled Eggs, and Duck Confit Flatbread. Net result of the meal was a bit of an upset stomach all day the next day, which speaks to the heaviness of the food.
Probably won't be going back, but it might be a better experience if I were to go for a personal (vs business) reason and sat at the bar.
