| - Nice atmosphere with about half the tables being large hightop for larger groups or sharing. Like the couches in front of the fireplace. To bad the fireplace was not on.
We started with wine since that is suppose to be one of the draws of E&H. There are 10 house wines, 7 sparking wines by the glass or bottle. Then there are the climate controlled red (8), whites (7) and bottles (6). The 8 red and 7 white climate controled are offered in 1oz, 3oz, 6oz, or bottle. Decided to try a couple of wines but found the prices way high, way high. You can get a 6oz pour of the TB Primitivo for more than a bottle price at the state store (some of the others wines they have available are similar in pricing). There is a happy hour pricing that lowers the 6oz pour but none of the others pours are lower. We learned that on Wednesday you can get a pizza and house bottle for $30, so maybe go on a Wednesday. While I enjoyed the wines I tried I found they tend to have wines that are more on the very fruity and plum side and with not as much balance and tannin. One wine I had was the Mollydooker Merlot and it was enjoyable but a tad fruity to go with the pizza I had.
The food was very good. We started with the Beets & Bleu salad that was very good. It has grilled golden beets with lots of greens, candied pecans and a nice viaigrette. Our pizza choice was the Chicken Spinach Artichoke pizza that had mozzarella, pesto cream and a touch of smoked chili. Our meal was very enjoyable.
Service was friendly but they were overwhelmed. Not sure why they seemed to be understaffed. The waitstaff was working hard but had to many tables to cover. Think they only had two waitresses and the all the tables were full. The kitchen staff helped out bringing out the food. We did ask for some different wines for our second glass and it took a really long time to get our second glass, as well as our first glass. Also, we were asked if we would like some parmesan and pepper flakes for our pizza, which we accepted and they never came.
