| - This place has been open since the summer of 2011 in the heart of Liberty Village and I've been intrigued from day one to try it since the 2nd floor patio was always PACKED, at least from the view on street-level.
So finally tried it on a fall Friday evening. Was busy, but not crazy busy in the dining room.
Modern, simple, good atmosphere. Lots of long tables with stools along the bar side, some regular tables and some big booths. Our booth of six was good.
Fun cocktails. Tried the toblerone (served in a martini glass, with hot fudge on the sides, Baileys, creme de cocoa, chocolate vodka? - anyway, delicious, and I believe $9). Delicious Jamaican rum punch. Our table mostly ordered a bottles of the same pino grigio. Strange that I don't see the drink menu on their site.
The Liberty Dip appetizer I ordered because it sounded delicious. It wasn't bad. Came with tortilla chips and long slices of flat bread, sticking straight up in the dip, like some fun Asian type cuisine. Not really enough avacado cream and pico de gallo, too much pepper hummus, but pretty good overall. Some may love, not sure I'd order again for the $11 it was.
Was kind of full from my good fresh cut fries in the entree, so had trouble getting down the veggie burger. Homemade and a good size, so happy with that. But personally, I prefer my veggie burgers to taste a bit more like meat, and this did not. Again, some may love. I wouldn't order again, although appreciate their efforts with making it mostly healthy.
Wish I had tried one of the fun desserts, but again, was too full.
Will definitely go back here for drinks because of its atmosphere and location, but want to check out their brunch as well. Not much else on the menu for vegetarian, so can't see me going for another lunch or supper.
Service was good, nothing special.
