| - Kind of a disappointment, I have to be honest.
After talking about "how badly we needed to get here," almost a year later, we finally did (I think on many occasions it just didn't come to top of mind).
We live in South End but don't venture Uptown much and now I kind of remember why.
We went in on a Saturday evening, were ushered up and greeted outside of the door and had a wait. Totally fine. We went back downstairs and after seeing the insanity was their downstairs bar, we went to BLT steak for some quiet time. J had a scotch and I think I had a wine.
We were called for our table upstairs, and asked if we wanted Bob to come by, which he did, which was a really nice touch.
We had two cocktails each, that weren't really great. Sure they aren't a $9 vodka, but I didn't really think they were all-that.
The atmosphere up here wasn't exactly super warm, felt a little old school stuffy, not really swanky. It was like the whole place was trying just too hard and some of it actually felt dated and old.
You end up sitting quite close to others which doesn't lend to what should be an intimate experience.
Goodness, I know I sound like an old hat, but I dunno. Go once. Say you went. Move on.
