After a visit for a happy hour and drinks with friends I finally got back for a second visit. This time we sat on the outdoor patio. It was really nice with a great view of birth the church and park across the street. We also got there pretty early on a Thursday afternoon so we had the deck to ourselves. Much like the previous visit the rotating beer selection was very good and the house specialty drinks were as well.
We ordered several appetizers for the table. Nothing spectacular. A stuffed avocado, zucchini and bacon. They were all very tasty though each seemed to be lacking that extra something to take it over the top. The avocado needed just a little extra salt, the zucchini could have used a fatty element like sausage and the bacon needed a little heat on the back end. These are all just nit picks though as they were very good. The most striking pay was they were made on premise with fresh ingredients. This to me makes all the difference. Speaking to the waitress who was very friendly and pleasant, she made it known that the chef is very much about fresh homemade plays and is working to remove all frozen/pre-packaged items from the menu. This is a very encouraging development indeed.
All said I really like this place and highly recommend it. It's location is not conducive to walk up traffic so a concerted effort to go is necessary, but in my opinion worth it.
