My husband wanted to try this place due to their extensive beer list. They had several Belgian beers that he wanted to try. So we made a dinner reservation for 6:30 on a Saturday night. Got there a little early, but our table was ready. I loved the decor and our server was attentive. I didn't like how close together the tables were. I learned that the sandwich the lady on my right was having tasted fantastic. And on my left, I learned that the server's knowledge of the beer list is extensive due to hearing him answer all their questions. But really, I don't like my every word being overheard, so I mentally deleted a star.
Got our menus, and I not being a big beer drinker, I was pleased that there were some good wines available also. For appetizers, we had the crispy potatoes (due to the Yelp recommendations) and the calamari. Both were very good. For my entree, I had the eggplant sandwich. I was a little jealous when I tasted my husband's burger, but the eggplant was really very good too. After dinner, we decided to wander out onto the patio for another drink. This is where the Praying Monk earned it's star back. The couches around the fireplace were perfect for a quiet, romantic drink.
We left around 8:30 and the bar was really starting to fill up then. Had a great time, and will definitely be back!
