| - I agree with another poster who loved the urban vibe of this restaurant/bar. What a cool place! We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Once seated, we waited for a while for service. I flagged down the manager, and a server came over immediately. The drink menu is extensive with over 30 specialty drinks, so I decided to forgo my usual beer for a fancy beverage, a Absinthe Fizz. My husband stuck with a glass of Pino. When our drinks arrived, mine was frothy and delicious! I highly recommend trying this drink if you want something refreshing but not froo froo. We order the tater tots as an appetizer, per a suggestion from a Kimpton sales rep my husband met through work. I ordered the Yellowfin Tuna Carpaccio and my husband ordered the Kentucky Fried Quail. The tots were wonderful, but I really didn't get the sauce. It was cold and did not have much flavor. Our food arrived while we were working on our appetizer. The entrees were excellent! Portions are small, but were fine for a light dinner. We actually went across the street to Copper Blues for a drink, then we returned to Blue Hound for a nightcap. We ended up sitting in a cozy booth by the bar upon our return. We ordered the Mac N Cheese to split and Tommy's Margarita. The Mac N Cheese was wonderful, but the portion was quite small. On the flip side, the prices are super reasonable, so if you are really hungry, order 2 appetizers with your meal. A couple of kinks, which is to be expected when you choose to dine at a new restaurant. There were many items on the menu I wanted to try, so we will definitely return!
