| - Happy Hour is awesome. It's a little early, but when you're running errands and ready for a drink but it's not quite "5 o'clock", pop in! They repeat it again at midnight for night-owls.
FOOD - we had the happy hour flautas (4 stars), calamari (2 stars), martini sliders (5 stars), sloppy sliders (4 stars), chicken/onion/mushroon flatbread (3 stars), wings (3 stars for hot, 4 stars for the thai peanut) and the mac & cheese balls (5 stars...LOVE mac & cheese!). Portions were at least 3 of each...but more wings & flautas and the flatbread was big/meal-size. I thought the prices were great.
DRINKS - there's no scam on limiting the draft beer that's on happy hour to PBR or Bud Light like you see at some places....they were all on happy hour!! The martinis are filled to the brim full-size martini glasses and not watered down.
SERVICE - attentive enough/no complaints. plates were cleared in a timely manner, drinks were filled promptly, food came out sufficiently fast. 3.5 stars
ATMOSPHERE - I liked it. The bar area is a large bar that circles the entire bar area around the bartender w/ some in-bar gaming, but not every seat so it's not a total gambling joint. There are 3 fireplaces w/ club chairs in front of the fireplaces...very cozy for a party of 2-5. There's a nook at the front corner of the bar that would seat a bigger group. There are flat screens thoughout the bar so the sports fan is entertained. And there's music from a video jukebox so music playing in the background even if people aren't pumping in $. It really has something for everyone.
We peeked at the dining area when we left around 6:45 p.m.--it was packed so it might be a good idea to make reservations if you plan on going on a fri or sat night.
This was our first visit and I forgot to look at the regular menu, but we'll definitely be back for the happy hour.
