The CM provides a nice alternative for a casual night out. All of the eats are delectable; the cigarettes are sold in packs and as singles (perfect for the social smoker who can't quite kick the habit); they've got plenty of drink options; and they're staffed with some NICE folks. The patio here is the draw and its communal atmosphere lends itself to an air of intimacy you certainly dont find in a bar. It's nice to sit and drink and talk to people you may or may not know at the table beside you.
Oh, and they have music Saturday nights. When a lazy Saturday afternoon drink turned into several hours of quiet inebriation, I was startled back to sobriety by an acoustic doom metal show-- that was outrageously original in its satirical hilarity. In general, the shows are acoustic and the music they showcase is good and local.
