| - This place is somewhat schizophrenic, but I can't stay away. The decor is Austin Powers meets the Lilliputians. Once you get past the unkempt entry way-gelato bar- espresso station, you are confronted with vibrant orange trim, odd round booths, low slung tables with semicircular chairs all intersected with a long diagonal bench providing high top style seating. A slight hipster feel, interrupted by what some might see as politically incorrect (I find it awesome) throw back military art. Unique doesn't seem a strong enough word.
They roast their own coffee which is top notch, make their own gelato, and have the most amazing wine and beer selections in the area. If you want a Bud Light, go somewhere else. But if you want an artisanal wine, or a Quadrupel beer (St. Bernadus) this IS the place for you. Just a fantastic selection of IPA. Weiss, Stout etc...Their motto is "no crap on tap". Pair a nice brew with their fantastic garlic parmesan fries and just enjoy the eclectic music and environment.
The menu is just like the decor, varied and maybe even odd. They have excellent, albeit limited, breakfast selections. The breakfast selections; breakfast burger, paninis, bagels and burritos are wonderful. They also boast crepes, scrambles and skillets which we have not tried as of yet.
Lunch: Burgers (Angus, hand made, juicy), salads, roast beef and turkey sandwiches, paninis, including the VIPR panini (Pastrami, havarti chive cheese, brown mustard). Then there is the wood fired pizza oven (Sopresseta pizza is my personal favorite). I told you...unique. But everything is super tasty.
Dinner is really the lunch menu with sometimes nightly specials. Last night's special was pork chops with a berry compote, risotto, and asparagus. Since pork chops are not on their regular menu, this is not the "take a dollar off of our normal menu price, and call it a special" special. It is a no kidding. unique menu item.
So, the downside. They regularly run our of things, and occasionally substitute another item without warning (thought you were getting potatoes with your breakfast..ha!...here are some sliced strawberries and cantaloupe instead). The service can run slow, and management does not aggressively keep their staff moving. The place is just what it appears to be; a restaurant/gelato bar/coffee house/pizza joint/wine bar/brewhouse. A bit confused...but what do you expect when a fighter pilot opens a restaurant? I still can't stay away....
