| - First visit was through a Yelp event and I was so entranced by this place I had to come back. The drinks were fantastic. They had a Moscow Mule in a copper cup, as it should be consumed. The bartender told us that they used to serve it with a copper straw too, but people kept stealing the straws.....
The food was fantastic as well. I love the idea that they had the seasonal food. At the Yelp event there was a Jack O Lantern pumpkin soup that I ordered to go. The soup was fantastic, but I was told to come back because the soup normally comes in an actual pumpkin! I dragged the boy there to have some, but they no longer had the Jack O Lantern soup, as they had moved on.
While the food and drinks were wonderful, the ambience of the place is what keeps this place from being 4 stars for me. If you sit at the bar or a couple of the booths near the bar I assume it's fine, but we sat closer to the back of the restaurant and I just felt intrusive. As it was date night we were sitting at one of the 2 top tables along the wall. We were SO close to the couple next to us, almost awkwardly so. The waiters inputted orders right in front of us and had side conversations with each other, which I am fine with, but normally it's an "out of sight, out of mind" kind of thing. Also, from the back the restaurant loses its hipster, chic look and resembles more of a Chipotle restaurant layout.
If you only get their food and, well maybe not drinks, to go? 5 stars.
