| - RIP Fountain. Where did the fountain go anyways?
So it looks like Lisa and Kelly might be a couple of Hyde Park ringers. I am not, but I still think this place is pretty good. I can only speak to dinner and desserts, not the food. While it was crowded, the bartenders are top notch, attentive, and quick. Ice for whiskeys and scotchs are pressed from large cubes into a large ice ball using a press. In this manner, your drink does not become diluted with melted ice cubes if you are picky about that sort of thing. I thought was a nice touch. Drink prices were high but not outrageous, kind of what you would expect for an upscale bar. Meals seemed to be around $30, more for steaks.
Decor and crowd - It looks like a rich white guy's country club with paintings of fox hunting on the wall. The clientele is definitely older.....much older. Cougars are on the prowl, so are their parents it seems. I can't take points away for the crowd notmatching to my own demographic, it wouldn't be fair to a well run place. Tallyho!
You have to $3 valet it on Friday night. Kind of a ripoff for a suburban strip mall. Maybe things will die down a little, it was opening weekend.
