| - A for effort. B for the drinks. C for the the food.
Drink - Happy Hour was from 3-6:30, and they offered a nice discount on drinks and appetizers/salads, although not all items under the 'snack' menu are discounted. There's a pretty good craft beer and wine selection. I had a glass of Malbec and Zinfandel, both were delicious and under $6 for large pours, so 5 stars there.
Food - I ordered the beet salad and a small portion of scallops and risotto. The beet salad was good, but I didn't like how it was presented and wish the beets were sliced. The scallops were OK, kinda undercooked and the risotto was watery, less creamy than I'm used to. I liked the flavors though, but end result wasn't that yummy. My dad got the crab cakes - he thought they were good, but the portion is very small and they are not discounted for happy hour.
Bar/Restaurant/Service - We sat at the high tables in the bar area - very comfy, cozy and provided plenty of seats. Waitress was friendly - she handled most of restaurant and provided quick and friendly service.
Overall, I liked this place and am giving them credit for elevating the restaurant/bar options along 185th, just wish the food was better and truly worth the higher price point. I'm willing to pay, but it needs to be really good. I will probably be back to try something else next time I'm in town, hopefully when it's warmer and we can sit outside- they have an outdoor area in the back.
