| - If you want a great show, sit at the bar downstairs. This place makes some work intensive drinks that are very entertaining to watch being concocted (smoke-filled glasses, flame-toasted lemon peels, splash of who knows what, dash of that, shaken, stirred, whirled and poured in an extravagant demonstration) . Small, but inventive menu. Maybe too inventive? Overall, cocktail and food menu seem to be trying too hard to impress. Execution on the more tame scallop with cauliflower and elderberry dish was excellent, though. My companion went for the more adventurous taco trio (1 each chicken, pork belly, shrimp) and was very pleased. All of the dishes and drinks we saw pass by looked delicious and very nicely plated. Not too much left on the plates on their way to the dishwasher either, so others must've been pleased, too. Fabulous ambiance downstairs, which is unexpected based on the sports bar vibe upstairs.
