| - We tried to dine at this place a couple of months ago, and when told the hostess we didn't have a reservation, she kind of gave us "a look" - you know the kind! Like, how dare we even THINK of just walking and EXPECT to get seated. Can you say "Snotsdale"??? Well, we decided to go back...reservations made even though it was mid-week. We were so glad we gave it another go. First of all, the ambience is really cool - upscale feeling but sprinkled with humor. Upside down table lamps act as chandeliers - how fun is that???!! And the name of many menu items is a great pairing of humor and song/artist, too. Great posters & artwork grace the walls; the wall colors are soothing. And, if a restaurant has "wine" in their name, you should expect to see their stash. Rhythm and Wine has a large glass wall displaying theirs. Nice.
Although they have a very nice patio area, it was during one of our cold snaps so we opted to eat inside. We had a great view of the sunset which was a plus. We were seated just before happy hour ended but our server squeaked in our order so we were able to have one glass of wine at happy hour prices ($3 off). Speaking of wine, they have an extensive list, but also have a full bar if wine isn't your choice of an adult beverage.
We split the "We go the Beet" salad - it was huge! More than two could eat. For entrees, we had the Chimichurri Marinated Flat Iron steak and Courtney Loves this Chicken pasta. The steak was sooo good and very flavorful. The chimichurri gave it a spice kick; it was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The pasta arrived in one of those neat slanted bowls. Again, pasta cooked perfectly and plenty of chicken that you didn't feel cheated.
We are so glad we went back - it is definitely on our list to visit again.
