This place makes me feel like I'm on vacation.
From the warm, toasty fire roaring and the flame-colored light fixtures hanging from the ceiling, it just exudes coziness. Add to that the warm hues of wine and mixed drinks as they "chin-chin" in customers' hands, and you've got a great setting for a night out. This is a place for sharing, and nothing tastes better than their appetizers and plates meant for passing around the table while you're here with friends.
Visit during this time of year and you can't help but be caught up in the festive atmosphere of Crocker Park during the holidays. Christmas lights span the streets and the Christmas tree in the roundabout makes me look over my shoulder and make sure the Polar Express isn't about to stop here with a load of kiddos happy to see Santa.
I'll be returning here, hopefully with both old and new friends in tow so we can all enjoy the vacation from reality that 87 West in Crocker Park affords!
