| - This place was ok, but not great. I don't really get the appeal.
We went last week for a friends birthday. The place was packed and she had invited quiet a few people.
By the luck of my bulging preggy tums, we managed to swindle a seat at a table. There was another couple wanting the table too and we had no problem sharing. I had expected, from the reviews, that we would be able to get some decent snacks at this place. But the table service was over (we weren't there very late, maybe 9 or 9:30) and since the place was so packed it was really hard to get drinks, not to mention a bite to eat. From the looks of the drinks consumed at my table, and reactions of my friends, the drinks were definitely good. And not just mixed from a lame fountain where the bartender just pushes a pre-dosed button. That's bonus points for sure. But the food was blah. I just had an order of feta fries and didn't even finish them.
The music was good. Throwback to high school tunes for sure. But as another yelper mentioned, no room to dance anywhere if you tried.
I don't want to deduct points on this place because it was so crowded. Not their fault. Good for them actually. But it's just not my vibe. Atmosphere was lacking, not worth it for me to want to repeat this place.
From what I saw of the patio, it would probably be pretty sweet back there in better weather. Strange though that there was no music playing on the patio at all. Not even quietly. That alone would make it a temporary smoke spot, instead of an actual hang out for more drinks spot. Too desolate.
So really this place is middle of the road for me. Some good points, some bad. I'd give it a 2.5 stars if i could. But it's more of a 'meh' than an 'a-ok'...
