| - Made 7:30 reservations for a Friday night. Started at the totally-dead bar for a well-mixed cocktail. It definitely fit the new "artesan cocktail" trend and was similarly priced. Hubby had a jack and coke.
We started with the head cheese appetizer. Although the waiter could describe the process of making head cheese, it was clear, once we received our dish, that he had never eaten it (it wasn't gelatenous at all). It was delicious, even though it took nearly 40 min to leave the kitchen in a half-full dining room. Our dining companions got the olive plate.
For mains, hubby got a delicious pizza. Not big enough for sharing as a main course, it was definitely a personal-pizza size. The crust was fluffy and flavorful. I ate a seasonal pumpkin pasta dish, which was a bit too al dente for my taste but still delicious.
For dessert we shared the applesauce cake, which was delicious.
So, for pros:
--Comfy chairs (and thank god for that, because the service was sloooooooow)
--Good food
--Takes reservations
--Has their own parking
--Love the rollup doors for a fresh breeze
--Quality cocktails
Cons:
--Really ugly chairs and tables (think: Denny's ugly)
--Small portions
--Really slow service (in a half-empty restaurant).
Still, we'd definitely recommend this place to others!
