| - Recently reopened with a new menu, same decor. If you're unfamiliar it has three areas, a general dining room, a quieter dining area and then the bar area. We sat in the sports bar area. 5 TVs easily viewed from any table in the bar area. We watched some basketball and MMA fights. I can't recall what they other tv's had, but there was a variety for those people who are sports nuts and need to keep the pulse of many different events at a single time.
Staff was great. You may want to be seated in Bailey's area. He didn't steer us wrong in our selections. As a matter of fact he took excellent care of us. When the Ribeye steak came out he waited to see if it was cooked to specified desires. When he observed it was closer to medium then to Medium rare, he immediately said, "Let me have that. I'll take it back. It looks a bit over done." Now, don't get me wrong it was not a poorly cooked steak, it was just a tad past rare. It would have sufficed.
I had the shrimp tacos. The shrimp was done spot on. Just cooked and not in the least bit rubbery as shrimp can easily achieve. The jerk seasoning was nicely spicy and the cilantro lime sauce was very tasty.
My friend likes a good spicy bloody mary. She said this one was very good, well, all four of them were really good. Did I mention that the waiter brought the last one complimentary as a peace offering for the steak being a little over cooked? The same steak he promptly replaced with an excellently done steak?
Cheesecake was rich and creamy. All the food was plated very well and appealing.
On top of good food and great service, the owner (Tory) stopped by to check up on our meal. Friendly guy, seems genuinely interested in making this place be the best it can be.
We will be back for happy hour. $1-2 off drinks, $2 of tapas. I believe it runs 3-7. If your in the area and are looking for a nice vibe to sit and unwind, I suggest sliding into a booth in the bar area and enjoying some of those happy hour specials. I know we will be back.
