And they're off...
No mechanical bulls, country karaoke or horse tartare at this place. Instead you get fresh, attractive and innovative bar food in a cozy yet funky setting. The owners are present and together with the waitstaff work hard to make your experience ideal.
There is a decent cocktail list and a handful of draught and bottled craft beer available.
At this time, the bar menu is surprisingly vegetable based but one can still indulge on hot dogs, burgers and sweetbreads and seafood snacks.
Personally, I had the olives (with slim jim and pepperoncini peppers), roasted broccoli marrow (a vegetarian version on bone marrow), the bloomin' scallion (a twist on the Outback's bloomin' onion) and the summer squash. Each was well balanced and visually appealing.
There are big plans for this place including a 35 seat dining room upstairs and a chef's table offering flexible and unique dining packages for 6-10 people.
This place can either have the success of Secretariat or the unfortunate fate of Barbaro but if the initial experience is an indication of what's to come, I'll place my wager on the former.
