Yay! I was so pleasantly surprised last night to have a great meal in their upstairs lounge at the bar. It was around 8 PM and we did not have a reservation for 2. Instead, we went up to the bar, where it was not noisy or crowded and was able to order the full menu. We had the fish chowder which was delectable. A creamy broth and 3 beautiful dumplings that had fish and I think, green peas. We both also had the make-shift special (apparently, the kitchen will come up with new dishes not on their petite menu when something on their petite menu sells out). It was a beef ragu on pappardelle. I did not expect the beef ragu to be tender pieces of braised beef and for such a good bounty of pappardelle in a tomato based sauce. The pleasant surprise I got from an early bite was the garlic - they used whole cloves of garlic that were boiled or something first and then added to the sauce and they delivered such a nice sweetness and non-bitter-tang that garlic can bring. For dessert, I had the cookies with milk - I can't resist a good cookie and there were 3 kinds of cookies, 2 each! A half a dozen all for me! And my husband ordered the coconut lime cream pie which was also very well crafted. We had alcohol with our meal and with tip and tax we were just under $150 for the whole meal. It was great and I'd definitely go back to sit up at the lounge. The actual restaurant is small and crowded and definitely noisy.
