The managers did a great job hiring and training the staff. Everybody is so friendly. Even staff who are not serving you will make eye contact and smile. That is pretty rare. I think they actually are having fun working there! They make it such a fun place you can go there by yourself and have a good time. Despite being a new place they really know their menu and give great suggestions. I didn't listen to the bartender's advice about a beer and she was right, I didn't care for it. Another bartender noticed I wasn't drinking it so he replaced it with their excellent Prohibition lager. The trout is excellent. So were the mussels. The seared tuna salad is pretty good. Our server said they are known for their fried chicken so the next time I ate there that's what I had. I was impressed with how much chicken you get. Huge pieces! Funny thing thought was they only gave you 2 tablespoons of slaw and a quarter cup of mashed potatoes. Better than skimping on the entree! The taters were tasty but a little on the runny side. The biscuit was not that light and fluffy but did taste pretty good. Interesting that the chicken has honey on it but none for the biscuit. I probably could have asked for it though. Only one complaint, which I mentioned in a tip. I do not like valet parking and that's all they have. The parking lot is right behind the place! Why would someone want to valet and then have to wait 3 times longer to get your car that just to walk a few feet over to it! I must not be alone here because I used to park in a little shopping area next door, but they recently put up a sign, "No restaurant parking" so I had to park a couple of blocks away in the residential streets behind the restaurant, which was also pretty crowed. I wouldn't be surprised to soon see a sign not to park there either. Come on guys, this is not the type of restaurant that should have valet! You have a very nice, down to earth, friendly place, not some snobby place!
