First time here and it looked pretty fancy for Champaign (the rest of downtown is pretty much jeans and boots culture). It wasn't busy at all on a Friday night around 9 and we came for small plates and drinks. I love the decor here, rustic wood meets mosaics and stained glass with these really cool round light fixtures. I always give points to anyplace that takes time to create ambiance in our little bar town. Anyway, we had a super nice server named Ryan who suggested some good drinks. Ever since Boltini (RIP) closed, I've been searching for a good cocktail in this town. Hoping for a miracle, I tried two cocktails here. I'm happy to report the standout was the Martinez. It was flavorful without overpowering the palette with that gin tanginess. It does pack quite the wallop so make sure you're eating too. We also sampled some cheese and meats with the best being The "Spanish" variety: jamon Serrano and the manchego. I also tried the salmon flat bread which was red wine cured salmon with dill cream. It was perfectly light and left you with room for drinks. For a larger dining space, the noise was a low din. I'm pretty sure we were the loudest people there. This place is on the pricey side compared to the other restaurants in the area (my salmon and 2 cocktails was 25 or so) but it is well worth it. I'm looking forward to coming back on a date or just to try more cocktails!
