| - I love this place for these reasons:
* Best west-facing patio in old town. It's upstairs on rooftop and during the winter months, it's a phenomenal spot to lizard-out while eating & drinking.
* The food is good. Love to share the lavoshes, and Franco makes one hell of a bloody mary
* They have the best potato-skins in the cosmos! Seriously. I know you're thinking "who gives a rip about potato skins?". Just try them and tell me I'm wrong. Won't happen.
* The upstairs patio & bar is a great place to just hang out whether you're eating, drinking or both. They have nice TVs for the games and a kick-ass old juke box. They also recently enclosed the bar area with glass, so it's more comfy during the warmer months.
* Downstairs, in back of the restaurant, there's a cutty bar that's nice and dark...and cool. They have karaoke all the time and apparently it does down in there. I don't karaoke, but occasionally when I hit the head, I'll do a hot lap back there to check out the folks' pipes. Decent.
*The location is incredible. Walking distance to anything you'd want in old town.
The only drawbacks to this place are:
* That west facing roof-top patio can be brutal in the summer. We'll see how much the enclosed glass helps. I've been recently to the upstairs bar after the sun is down, and that was reasonably cool.
* During the winter, you will see loads of tourists, fanny packs, white socks & Burkenstocks, freshly-purchased turquoise jewelry, picture taking with what appears to be safari outfits, etc. Small price to pay I suppose.
Weekend brunches in the winter is where you might find me there.
Cheers!
