I disagree that this place is average. Well not the menu anyway. I was really impressed. Definitely not average bar food. The atmosphere is decadent, yet relaxing and friendly. I went for lunch and I have also been at night. Perfect location to just drop in and hang out, have drinks on the patio and people watch. Or after a couple cocktails head up to the Compass Room for a dessert. This is one of those downtown landmarks that I may be partial to, but I happen to love!
