| - The last time I stopped by this house in the heart of NODA, it was many years ago. I still get that same remIninscent vibe as the days of old. We stopped in for dinner with a friend, before a show at the newly opened Roux. Front porch seats are where it's at for grabbing a bite and a few drinks!
The highlights for me include the view, the large beer selection, and the wine. I also enjoy the pizza, but we didn't grab for anything crazy, just a large sausage and pepperoni. Also, it was pretty cool to find out next time we could bring our four-legged friends on the porch for dinner!
A few letdowns here, as well. The calamari was way overlooked, rubbery, and the breading would not stay on. The marinara sauce was so-so, different than anything I've had before. Though it was busy, our service was still subpar. The waitress was very nice but would disappear for periods at a time. None of us got refills, and whatever we asked for, it took forever. We noticed the server for the tables beside us constantly taking care of her customers, so I'm prone to believe the issue was only with our waitress and not the entire staff.
I'm sure I'll be back here. I dig the urban, artsy vibe that Revolution has going on. The porch is really a highlight!
