First time visiting the place and very impressed. We definitely went at the right time. It seemed that for the new year (Jan.) they were running all kinds of specials. We got $10 off our bottle of wine and a free cheese, crackers and fruit plate. I loved sitting on the couch rather than a hard wood-back chair that you often find in bars/restaurants. The lighting was dim and there was relaxing jazz music being played. The bar maid/server was very helpful and attentive without being bothersome. There were a variety of people there... from a family... to a couple... to a single person. It felt classy and intimate while at the same time casual and relaxed. Don't know how they pulled that off but it just feels comfortable no matter what you are looking for. The only thing that would have made it better imo is live music and a fireplace.
