| - Went to the Living Room over the weekend with some girlfriends. Having never been there before I didn't know what to expect. The place is super adorable, great decor. The bar set-up is very weird though. It's like, half bar then turns into half table. I had to wait for my friends to show up and we were on the list, and I had a hard time finding a decent place to just stand. The place was packed, and it was 8pm on a Saturday night, with a torrential downpour going on outside. I thought it would be quiet wtih the craptastic weather, but it definitely was busy.
It's loud. Not only from people talking/yelling but the music. I was screaming at my friends at our table. For being a wine bar, I thought the wine menu was on the small side. A good selection, but I thought I'd see more.
The crowd is definitely distinct. You have to really like it to tolerate the place. For me, I really liked it. It's livly, lots of young 30-somethings (although we ran into our old, formerly hot, teachers from high school which was weird), lots of good looking people, yet it didn't feel pretentious to me at all. I just moved here from a big city and I felt like I was back home. Which is a good thing.
Food was average. I'd try something else next time I go back. This time I had the chicken pesto sandwich with a side salad. The sandwich was very good but the dressing that came with my salad was SUPER SALTY!! Gross! I just passed on it and ate the rest.
I also like the fact that they do board games here. And the patio is probably amazing when the weather cooperates.
