It's a \"summer season special\" and was attractive, tasty and well priced. I'd recommend it highly.\n\nThe rest of the visit:\n\nI sat at the bar, which I typically avoid, and waited almost 5 minutes before the bartender, Anne B. approached for my drink order. My place at the bar wasn't ready for a guest: peanut shells, dirty glass from a previous guest, paper from a straw. She returned with my drink and a menu (left it on the bar upside down) and walked away without comment. Bright spot: Anne was able to accurately describe the dressing. While the bartender left the bar for a short while (potty break I guess?) Adrian approached my place and quickly recognized the clutter. He was very pleasant and conversant and was, without question, the best staff member I encountered. \n\nThe delivery of my entr\u00E9e was also interesting...kinda slid in from the side by a server who made no comment at all. Very weird. Nevertheless, the food was good as mentioned above. \n\nBartender dropped the check (also \"wrong side up\"), picked up my card (both without comment and never asked about dessert). I left wishing Adrian would have been my server for the entire meal. By the way, two separate couples left seats adjacent to me without being served. And, an area of the bar (some sort of low seating) was a mess with old newspaper, paper and rags. The remainder of the restaurant appeared to be clean. Terrific food which was \"diluted\" by really poor service...an obvious result of poor training/follow up. Please don't make my mistake and sit at this restaurant's bar but do try the Watermelon Salad!"^^ . "0"^^ . . "2"^^ . .
