| - I really really really wanted to love this place and I feel like I might have, if it wasn't for a few things. We visited in late October, and we found out when we got there that all the delicious foods we had seen on yelp were not available since the kitchen staff up and quit a couple weeks prior. Despite that set back, the bartender worked with the cook in the back and had him whip up a plate of nachos on a base of fries.
The cocktail we ordered was also delicious, and upon finding out that it was my wife's birthday, he poured us both a shot, on the house, which was super nice. The problem I see with this place is that it's got a dive bar vibe, which clashes with the ambiance I expected from a place that boasted such an interesting menu. It seems like the employees are trying to make the best of the situation, but the owner needs to decide whether they are running a bar with bar food, or a restaurant with restaurant food. As it is right now, this place strikes me as a bar with a kitchen. There's nothing wrong with that, I love bars that serve light dishes to munch on while I drink, but if I had come here expecting a dinning experience, I would be extremely put off.
I don't want to tell the owner how to run their business, but my expectations from what I saw online, and what I experienced when I got there seemed to conflict with each other, which made things a bit awkward. I am confident that this place could be amazing with some minor adjustments, and I hope some are made. I look forward to coming back the next time we are in town.
