| - We go for happy hour. I've been for dinner before and enjoyed it - but happy hour is what keeps us coming back.
The drink list is intriguing, and I've enjoyed trying new cocktails. Think it is $2 off normal prices during HH. The wine list is quite tasty, and glasses of wine (the ones less than $10) are half off. Hard to beat when you can get a very nice glass of wine for $3.25-$4. We've asked for recommendations before, and the waiters/bartenders have never steered us wrong. They give good, accurate descriptions of each one. I don't know a ton about wine (aside from knowing that I enjoy it), so I always ask. Last night the waiter described one as "fairly light, very earthy...just really good." It came, I sampled it. I wouldn't have thought to call it earthy before (like I said, I don't know a ton about wine...so I don't know all the words). But that is *exactly* what it was. It was light, it was definitely earthy. I loved it.
For appetizers, the prosciutto is delicious, if you like that sort of thing. Very simple presentation with super-thin shavings of the prosciutto, comes on a cutting board with cracker, some sort of delicious sweet sauce and lettuce (arugula, maybe?). Very tasty if a small bite. The bruschetta was nice as well - the cherries were sweet and tasty with just the right amount of balsamic on them.
The highlight, as it always is for us...the shrimp adriatica (sp?). It's delicious bites of shrimp in the most wonderful, garlicky reddish sauce. The shrimp is good, the sauce is amazing. We always get extra bread and soak up every last drop of garlicky goodness.
