Word of the wise: go here during their happy hour. They start from 3pm (?) - 730pm and then the start again later in the night. Anyway, I was very excited to finally try this place out. The ambiance was great, it was a big more upscale than the other bars around that area. Music was tolerable - you can still have a decent conversation. This is what we had:
Helix (house brand, I assume): Merlot and Pinot Noir ... it was very decent wines that we ordered 3 glasses each!
The food (let me see if I remember)
Pulled pork sliders: Sauce was not overwhelming (ie: messy) BUT they could have put more on the side just so we can add more to our liking.
Fried Olives: breaded perfectly (not oily and totally crispy). If not mistaken it as kalamata olives.
Compot ACO (I think I got that right): The jams were tasty, wished they added more fruits and the cheese was great compliment to the Pinot I was drinking)
Skirt Steak: YUMMM! Perfectly cooked for a thin strip of meat - it was still red in the middle - good job!
Hummus: Really liked this one. Flavorful, not overwhelming and the added fruits (?) in the hummus sweetened up the bite. The bread was thin and not overwhelming.
Margherita Flatbread: Crust was thin (brunt to a crisp on the sides). Might want to watch it while in the oven. The basil was very fresh (last minute addition) which brightened it up really nicely. Would love more mozzarella.
a Chocolate Cake (I forgot the name): very rich, you can really taste the cocoa and coffee. It was a great ending to the meal.
I must say, we ate a lot here...
