I must admit I had some reservations about this place based on other Yelper's reviews which seemed to vary quite a bit. I was part of a large group celebrating a birthday and I enjoy hitting the Plaza Midwood neighborhood now that I live in the 'burbs.
Found the interior inviting and loved the track doors and woodwork. I am not a fan of sitting on barstools so I chose the booth side of our platform raised table near the bar. Our server was excellent, and realized we had some old menus. I have to admit the overhauled new menu was much more to my liking.
We shared pimento cheese, pretzels, and deep fried veggies for our apps. I found the pimento cheese a bit dry, but well seasoned. I skipped the other apps, but the rest of the group enjoyed them. The large bite size pretzels and beer cheese were the crowd favorite.
For my entree, I chose the chili. I would call it greek style, sweet and slightly spicy. I really appreciated the portion size too.
This place is huge with three floors, VIP room and a roof top bar that has excellent skylne views. The main floor bar had a nice buisness for a Monday night and should be drawing a neighborhood crowd.
Our server was excellent and had no qualms about seperate checks and splitting the birthday girl's tab among all of us.
I cannot complain about parking since it was a weeknight, but I know that I sympathize with other Yelper's complaints about the $5.00 charge. We actually parked across the street.
