Early December. Daughter Ballerina class across the street allowed us adult time for 90 minutes. Time well spent, in the bar side. Not too busy at 6:30 on a Friday night upon arrival. Greeted and seated quickly.
Diet Coke was as expected but nice to have the server garnish with lemon. Makes me feel less like the Designated Driver. Beers on tap were plentiful for my companion.
Ordered a Brie platter and it was great with roasted garlic, caramelized onion and some other interesting options to augment the Brie and bread rounds. We were happy to have the owner drop by twice to check in and once he went back to fetch more bread rounds to help us round up the rest of the cheese. Attentive service by our server, another server and the owner. Attentive but not intrusive.
We got parking at the building on the same side of the street directly south but we always park there for National Ballet School. They advertised parking discount but that is impossible at this time of night (Fri at 8pm departure) as there is no attendant. $3 to open the garage door to get in and $2 to get out.
Great place to unwind and chit chat - I will be back.
