| - Spur of the moment lunch visit with a friend on a Tuesday. We were there at about 1:30 pm so missed the lunch crowd. They said they had opened about a week ago. The space looked really good. On the side of being upscale but not pretentious. The space is wide -open with many different seating areas and seating options. They also have an outdoor seating area where the exterior wall partitions roll up into the ceiling, creating a very wide open and airy feel from inside the restaurant. They also have radiant space heaters outside. We were promptly greeted by our waitress. Apparently, they have hundreds of beers available with many on tap and in bottles. They also serve hard liquor and have a food menu. I thought the beer prices were pretty reasonable; food prices, little high. Beer prices range from five through seven dollars, I think, depending on the type. They have an appetizer menu which, given prices, I assumed are sized to be shared. Their entrée menu is not huge. They have various salads, wraps, burgers, soups and I thought I saw some fish items... All on the upscale side. Not typical neighborhood bar or tavern fare. We ordered a pretzel which was very large and well presented. Tasty, too. For lunch, I had the flat iron steak salad and my friend had the crab cake appetizer. My steak slices were tender and tasty but smallish on portion for the price. The salad was nothing special and I suspect was precut and came out of a bag. I was not given a dressing option or told what was standard. I presumed it would be blue cheese. There was blue cheese chunks on the salad. They also tossed all of the greens in what tasted like a pretty flat Italian dressing. Still, the atmosphere was very nice and our waitress was very pleasant and helpful. I'm sure the kitchen will work out the kinks. It is definitely worth a visit for at least a few beers and some appetizers after work. I am looking forward to revisiting.
