I like the art in the lounge. As I sat in the bar waiting for my table I watched as a clown made the sloppiest drinks I'd ever seen in my life. A guy at the bar ordered a $20-$25 shot of some whiskey and said clown split it, and served him a wet glass. He looked at me for my reaction, and I simply said 'that's what happens when you hire a clown.'
The hostess arrived and I was super excited to jump off my stool with my weirdo Shirley Temple that has orange juice in it ($4). I was lead through the entrance, out the front door, back in the front door, back through the host stand, behind the staircase ( and I had to carry my own drink!)... until I was seated in what felt like a diner.
At least I was away from the clown.
My server was a pretty girl who was attentive, and let me order things the way I wanted. Even being gluten free I couldn't help but wreck my GI for the day by getting chicken and waffles. I mentioned I was from the Southern part of the states and this is a very common food for us, so I was excited to try it again- BOY WAS I WRONG lol.
It's not bad, it's just an... interpretation of chicken and waffles. Herb waffles with chicken strips covered in a cherry sauce, and creme fraiche. Lol Ludacris would roll over in his grave if he were dead.
The chicken fingers were good. The waffle was okay (i took it home for pups). I had more fun dipping the bacon in maple syrup than anything.
I'll be back as I love the ambience, and have a friend crush on my waitress, and hope to see her again, and make friends.
