| - I am really, really loving this new restaurant and must admit I am kinda addicted. That being said, this review is probably a little altered.
Honestly, I am not sure what I love the most. I have been there three times now, from a weekday to a Happy Hour and I haven't had any issue with parking. The wait for a seat was minimal, and the patio was inviting as the bar was fun, and the tables are sooo cozy.
The cocktails are GREAT. I am addicted to the one with Ginger, but I can't remember the name of it. I love the wine being on tap, it's eco-delicious. I enjoy the company of everyone at the restaurant and I seem to see people I know there most often. The bartenders are a delight, they introduce themselves and talk a lot about the menu and choices, etc. Even the owner/manager person (whoever she was) came by and asked what we thought of the meals, drinks, atmosphere, etc.
I also love the wall of tapes, and watching families bike in and get ice cream and sit in the floral decor of the comfortable patio with cute kids...very inviting. I could see bringing a date here (alas I am married now, so my date is my hubby), but I would also bring my parents and my son here.
I loved the Halibut, the Kale Salad, the snacks, the Sausage Sandwich and I can't wait to go again and try more. With the closing of Bomberos/Verde/My Florist, the burning of Richardsons, the crowds at Postino, the valet only at the Vig, the lack of fresh salads at the Garage, cold (warm) food at Local Breeze and the disappointing service at Arrogant Butcher - this place moved quickly up to a top choice for dinner and drinks. Move over Hula's, SENS, Hanny's, TMI, Rokerij and CIBO! :-)
