| - Stopped here after a Pirates game for drinks and snacks. The beer/wine/whiskey menu is very extensive, and they have a ton of different cocktails to choose from.
We decided on the heirloom popcorn and the duck-fried nuts to munch on. I have to say, I wasn't crazy about either one. We didn't taste anything on the popcorn except chipotle dust (though the menu ingredients also listed lime, salt, and cotija cheese); the popcorn was very dry and there wasn't much of it! The nut mix had almonds, cashews, peanuts, and a few walnuts, and they just tasted greasy. No flavor at all was distinguishable, not even salt, though again we were supposed to be able to taste thyme, salt, garlic, and chili flakes.
We didn't try any of the entrees as we had eaten earlier in the day but I have to say I am not even eager to try the entrees, unfortunately. Aside from the beautiful rustic decor and very attentive waitress, there wasn't much about this place that got me excited or eager to eat, especially after the disappointing snacks. There were not a ton of people there (even though neighboring places were packed with baseball fans) and a small menu. I think I'll just move on to the long list of other establishments in the area that I haven't yet tried! I had to give a couple stars for the beautiful decor & our waitress was also awesome!
