It was an awesome setting - the lights were just dim enough, the kitchen was out in the open, the hostess was friendly. Without one glance at the menu, it had everything I needed to call it a great place.\n\nWe ended up sitting at the bar because the wait was long and we were hungry; I'm glad we did. The bartenders were all friendly, but not in a you're-in-my-restaurant-I-have-to-be-nice kind of way. They were genuinely kind, and before we knew it, we were all engaged in a conversation about the name of the Oxy-Clean guy. It's Billy Mays, in case you forgot. The drinks were great (the acai mojito made my life), which was the icing on the cake.\n\nThe food was alright. Being from a small town in the Midwest where Applebees is considered fine dining, I was excited to see their menu with just the right amount of options. I wish I would have branched out a little farther than the steak tacos, because I'm sure I was missing out on something better. We split the heirloom tomato & watermelon salad and it was a hit, but aside from that, everything was just alright. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't worth writing home about. With that being said, it was definitely better than Applebees.\n\nBottom line? If you value good service and a relaxed atmosphere, it's worth checking out."^^ .
