| - TL;DR; Good food, GREAT service.
Rolled in around 1700 to meet up with an old friend, and someone is taking their high school pictures out front. Most of the surrounding businesses were packed, with people who have loved the Indians their whole life, but still have tags on their new Indians gear. I wasn't expecting a great experience. . .
Ryan was the bartender (and server), and he did great work. Drink refills were prompt, and he had the right amount of small talk. He didn't annoy us or squeeze in, but he wasn't shy or ignoring us.
They only had two things that fit my dietary wants, and the first thing I ordered was just plain terrible (Warm Montequilla Olives). Absolutely disgusting. It was a few very over crispy bread pieces, some pit filled olives, and vegetables that were just soaked with pepper juice. Awful. I ate what I could, but ended up ordering their other option. The Tempura Green Beans and Ponzu sauce were great. Ryan took the first thing off.
My companion went with Lettuce Wrapped Salmon Something's. She didn't seem impressed, but between the drinks, and maybe too much (added) hot sauce, I would take that with a grain of salt. It looked great!
At the end of the night, we actually came back and sat down to get some water and chat for a bit longer before heading out. Ryan was just as pleasant, and kept us hydrated. Great experience, and no hipster nonsense.
