After it's first couple weeks under their belts I came to try them out. And yes I'm one of those that prefer to sit at the bar and to observe how the operation runs, and I was very impressed. I will be putting this on my regular rotational stops for Dinner and/or Drinks. **** four stars. I'm adding one more for the friendly staff and the 'better that most' wine list. Not extensive (yet) but a good cross-section of world wines (except for New York State wineries, where there are over 300 now and do a huge leap above the rest in white wines in the country). I sampled four varietals and the Tempranillo Rioja was first class. At first the bartender hadn't seen us sit down, but after a few minutes he was friendly & attentive, who suggested an app of flat bread Pineapple & Chipotle Shrimp. Yes Delicious. Reasonable prices... a great 'date' destination. Loved how they had the piano bar, unique
