| - So initially when we got here I thought I would have to deduct a star for service because it was seat yourself and then no waitress came by for a solid 20 minutes. However, when she did come and the food and drinks came there was just no way I could take the star away! The waitress was very nice and attentive after the initial wait.
Let's start with the decor, they have a good patio, you walk in and there is quite a bit of seating. It is done in the style of the Prohibition Era and it looks awesome! Exposed bricks, extremely cool lighting everywhere, the bar staff have bow ties and suspenders on. They are just spot on with the look of this place. You will be amazed with the amount of bottles behind the bar too, I don't recall ever seeing that many before!
The drinks - the menu for drinks is huge and sure to please everyone. They are however pricey. The smoked Manhattan is a whopping 25.00, which is too bad because when I looked at it online I really wanted to try it until I saw the price. We ended up getting The Garden of Eden and The Pink Panther. The Garden of Eden has edible flowers, beautiful presentation (takes a while to make), it has such an interesting flavour because of the pink pepper but I loved it. The Pink Panther is the perfect summer drink, but warning it's about the size of your face! They are both quite strong so you are getting a decent bang for your buck.
The food - oh gosh the food. I got the Mac n Cheese sans the boar meat. It comes in a cast iron skillet and it was SO good. It was super crispy on top and creamy inside. It is very filling as well, I had to give away a few bites. We got the corn bread to share with jalapeƱo and cheese in it with a honey smoked butter to put on. Why isn't all butter honey smoked butter!? Because it's freaking amazing! My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles and with my coaching managed to finish it but he was struggling at the end! He said that it was great, the chicken is coated in a pimento and hot sauce mix first (gives it a red layer when you cut in so don't worry it's not under cooked) then it is breaded. They give you real maple syrup not table syrup and gravy on top. The food is quite reasonably priced it's just the drinks that are super expensive.
This place is great though, I would definitely come back and recommend it to friends.
