| - Love that this place exists, but wish it was closer to my house.
The ambience inside is super hip with that rustic industrial modern vibe going on.
It's fancier than some of the other new places (publicus/glutton/etc) and more restaurant-y than bar-y.
The beer and wine and cocktail selections are quite good, with a couple unique beer offerings I hadn't heard of.
I liked the menu: small plates, "new American" style, kinda fancy, heavy on the veggies. Most of these things would be a turn-off to Mr. A., but luckily they had a burger/sandwich menu, too, to keep him interested.
I tried the carrots, brussel sprouts, shrimp scampi, and 'in the gnudi.' Liked them all. Loved the gnudi, but it was a pretty big portion for just one person to eat and my husband isn't about to try something involving 'fig jam.' Also it's really rich, so I couldn't finish it. Also loved the carrots (although, again, too sweet for the Mr.). Brussels sprouts were good and shrimp scampi was good, too, but they weren't extra memorable.
For 4 small plates and 2 beers, it ran us almost $90 with tax and tip, which seems a little high.
Service was friendly and efficient, but it's just too expensive for 5 stars.
Would go back with out of towners or for a cocktail if in the neighborhood.
