After you've lived awhile and been to a few hundred bars, some of the décor can kind of blend together. At that point, what sets a place apart from the others are the quality of servers, quality of food and any special cocktails that are a "draw".
Our waitress was really, really good. Right away she pointed out the drink specials which were highlighted in yellow. CAVU and Ballast Point Sculpin were $3 a can. She kept it classy and brought glasses, then helped us narrow down our food choices.
Corn and Jalapeno Fritters = melty, yummy goodness - heavy and creamy with a nice contrast from the peppadew relish which added an acidic, sweet bite.
Moroccan Pork Skewers = grilled pork tenderloin pieces and grapes with pita and tzatziki. The flavor combo of savory and sweet were a hit again. The pork was a little dry but it was likely par or precooked then finished with the grapes (as grilled grapes will only take 3 minutes). It was still good enough to where I'd order it again.
As stop #3 on a Yelp food tour, we declined main courses. There was no judgment and actually suggestions for what to eat at our next stops. Again, keeping it classy!
Really great place for Tapas and drinks. The dinner menu looks pretty amazing and so do the Autumn Seasonal cocktails they're creating. Will be back for round two!!!
