| - I came for dinner late on Saturday night. We had made reservations earlier in the week. We were seated immediately, even though we were 15 minutes or more early for our reservation. I ordered a cocktail made with vodka, cherry, pomegranate and lemon. It was very girly, pink, and served in a martini glass, oh and it was also delicious, refreshing, a little more on the sweet side, but not too sweet.
The menu has various appetizers and a blurb about asking the server for the entree specials. There were two specials, so we ordered one of each. The crispy skinned trout came with roasted potatoes, shallots, and dill oil. The fish was fresh, oily, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The skin, however, was not crispy. The other special was a vegetable lasagna with a root vegetable beschemel sauce. It also had mushrooms and tomatoes. It was delicious, and I think the pasta was made fresh.
It will take about 10-15 minutes from the time you order a cocktail, and it's put on your table, so plan ahead accordingly. Even a glass of wine took ten minutes, probably because it was behind a few orders. The server was at our table a total of three times: to take our order, to drop off our checks, and then give us our receipts. It was obvious he had another section in the other part of the restaurant, but we had to order our drinks from the other waitstaff who were clearing our plates and glasses.
Overall, I think this is a great bar, but not a great "sitting down" restaurant.
