The building that houses the Nitty Gritty is absolutely beautiful. Exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and a great patio to spend a summer night on. While I am not a big fan of their food, I have to give them credit as they have been churning out the same menu (with a few changes) since I can remember. Maybe 25 years ago, the gritty sauce was something to talk about but other restaurants are constantly pushing the envelope on bringing new tastes and flavors to the marketplace. The Gritty appears to be stuck. Not necessarily a bad thing but not something I would come back to time and time again.
