| - Wow. Ok. so this is a 21 and over bar which was a problem because we brought our daughter. However, you can eat from the 221 menu next door at the Irish restaurant/bar which is not 21 and over so we were able to try the food. This may be my new favorite place. They have three tapas plate columns, the first are meat (2 meet) and include 2 lamb, 2 meatballs, 2 chicken satay, 2 ribs or 2 sliders for just 6 dollars. The seafood menu (2 see) is $7.00 each and is also 2 of everything (although we received 3 shrimp). The final column is 1 Good Time which includes a cheese tray, meat tray, mussles, bruschetta, and a tortilla flatbread. These are $8.00 each and are larger portions. There are also unique sandwiches such as a DLT (Duck Confit, bacon, lettuce and tomato with a blueberry mayo)
We absolutely loved the cheese tray which included Blue Cheese, a sharp cheddar, and a cheese which tasted great but we could not identify. It also included blueberries in syrup, crustini, grapes and strawberries. The mussles were the largest we have ever seen and had a good flavor to them. The shrimp and scallops were excellent and we were full from this small sampling.
They have happy hour and late night specials and serve dinner until 11. You won't be disappointed if you go here or eat from the menu in the more casual irish bar. This place is refreshing and surprisingly inexpensive for a restaurant located in the JW Marriot/Rampart Casino restaurant row.
