| - I've been here several times with friends for drinks and food in the evening -- always great.
The decor is really nice, cozy, and interesting. The owner even gave a friend and me a personal tour one night after we overheard him talking about the history of the building. It was a bank, and the restrooms are where the vault once was! There are still some original features, such as the bar which was made from marble on the bank walls, and the front wall is decorated with original cheques from the early 1900's-ish. The floor is original, if I remember correctly, and they have some framed, genuine doctor's prescriptions for alcohol :)
Their cocktails are perfection, complex and high-end. Of course you'll pay high-end prices, but it's worth it. The food menu is relatively small, but I think most people will find something they'll like, and it will be delicious and of high quality. I'm obsessed with their smoked squash soup with pistachios and goat cheese on top, and baked mac'n'cheese with a small arugula salad.
They also frequently have entertainment such as local live music, or holiday events such as a delicious Mardi Gras menu.
Go! Do it!
