| - I haven't been to Regions proper, so I can only tell you about the lounge experences I've had.
This place is decent, with friendly serving staff, a solid beer menu (bottles only, they don't have any drafts), and a good selection of small plates.
Joel served my friend and I during a slow afternoon. We were chatting, occassionally glancing at a TV with the olympics on (hockey). Joel was attentive to our needs, offerin us water, additional beverages and food while he got ready for the day. He was politely chatting with us without interrupting. He made our visit very pleasant
We both drank newcastles which weren't the freshest, but Newcastle rarely is (this, along with Guinness being poured wrong, is the bane of my drinking existance). We ordered from their small plates menu, getting the fries/onion ring combo plate, the sliders, and calamari. The fries normally come with gorgonzola which they were kind enough to serve without (I don't think of that as above and beyond but I've heard bad things from the Roosevelt ), the onion rings had a crispy batter that was delicious. The prime rib sliders were served with au jus and a creamy cilantron(?) sauce. The prime rib was excellent. The calamari came out with the sliders an there batter was as good as the onion rings. This calamari had the tops and bottoms of the squid (the tentacles) which I find to be quite the experience. They were served In a dish along with some jalapeƱo peppers; giving them some appreciated zest.
The entire meal was very reasonably priced (due to happy hour, which I was told now begins at 4). This was a good happy hour experience.
