Sharing the mushrooms with my lady, sipping a bit of the Kraken. It doesn't get much better. However, if I was a bit less of a man, I would have tried to make out with the chef . The food was amazing!

Cozy place and one of the few places you can strike up a conversation with the barkeeps if you're looking for something to do

Awesome . Sterling the bartender just invented a great new summer drink called the 'Summer Salad ' & its great. Gin , Strawberries , basil , balsamic reduction , simple syrup...other stuff... Get one.

Try the spinach and ricotta pasta, rigatoni cooked al dente, sprinkled with ricotta, tossed with sauteed spinach, then covered in a light marinara. It's earthy but not too hearty, great for lunch. - Juice Magazine
