| - Went here for a gathering with friends around on New Years Eve Eve. It was pretty quiet as I'm sure most were gearing up for the next night. Overall, it was perfect for our gathering.
The atmosphere is cool but relaxed. There was good music. It was like a familiar playlist of 90s music--loud enough for you to hear, but not so loud that you had to shout over it. Our server did a good job of keeping up with our drinks and things. The cocktails took a while to make. Maybe it was a new bartender or they were understaffed? Considering the light crowd, drinks should have come a little faster.
I liked their beer list and they have some interesting cocktails. A pumpkin/maple whiskey drink didn't really work for me -- and they were apparently out of the preferred whiskey. I also tried a drink with cucumber and pickle juice. Sounds crazy, but I like pickles. The only good thing about this one was that it made me sip slow -- saving me money and my friends from seeing me get too crazy! The TP No. 1 Cup was the best drink I sampled and I would order it again. Doesn't pack much punch, though.
For food, the meal was satisfying, but not incredibly memorable. There are a lot of options, so I think you can expect everyone to find something that they will enjoy. The appetizers were more interesting than the entrees. Nothing was bad, but I just wanted a little more excitement for the price on some of the entrees.
Overall, I liked this place, but considering I'm only in town once or twice a year anymore, I'd try a few more places before coming back. But if someone suggested it again, I'd go along. I'd prefer it for drinks and apps and then maybe try dinner some place else.
