| - If you have a happy hour but people have to know to ask for that menu when they visit during your HH specials, I'm automatically docking a star. Either offer it or don't, but hiding it only has bad intentions. That being said, I'd rather drink here than eat here.
House sangria and several other wine/drink options are available for $3 during HH: 4-7PM, every day. The sangria is tasty- not too strong or too fruity but just right, an alcoholic Goldilocks would happily down three of them for under $10.
We only tried a couple of dishes- select appetizers are half off for HH. The hummus plate and crispy beef soft (oxymoron?) tacos sounded tasty but we chose the tri tip sliders and the mushroom flatbread. TRI TIP SLIDERS (regular price $11) came in a pair with a heap of unseasoned shoestring fries, they were overflowing with meat topped with an especially vinegary barbecue sauce. If you're going to serve tri tip, let it shine instead of covering it with sauce as if it's pulled pork. MUSHROOM FLATBREAD was just okay, not some thing I'd pay full price for ($11)- it's hard to go wrong with mushrooms and cheese but the bread itself was really dry and floury. It was nicely crisp, but only the middle had any toppings.
Service was not really present- in addition to having to ask for the HH menu to begin with, the hostess never brought it and once we asked for it our server was rarely seen. Dark and upscale décor gave the bar area a classy overall vibe, outdoor seating by the fountain might be nice too.
