| - While this was not, in fact, a typical "speakeasy," the drinks certainly lived up to the billing! WOW! Tried four different bespoke (menu bespoke) and my wife had one and a straight Whiskey. All were PERFECT and delicious. What's Up Doc was the biggest surprise. Carrot juice and bourbon!?!? It works! In a great way. And the Rye So Serious? Is another mystifying winner. Like a chocolate-Orange hard candy. SO good. Sazarac and Manhattan were perfect and exactly as requested.
Food was excellent. Opted for lighter fare and were rewarded beautifully. Seasonal (cold weather fried clam and corn chowder) was so good. And rabbit tamales are a MUST. They do run out, so be prepared if that happens.
Service was impeccable. Jodi took amazingly good care of us and I hope she is your server. Ask for her if not. She knows the menu, likes good drinks and is absolutely delightful. Management is extremely interested in your having a great experience and we so appreciated that, too. Well done.
Note: outdoor patio seating is cute and comfortable, BUT, street traffic was obnoxious. Loud Harley's and (gas powered?) golf carts were a distraction. Not a deal-breaker, but if you can score an indoor seat, it's preferable. If not, the outdoor deal really is comfortable and cute.
Enjoy. And, cheers!
