Our first time here, AMAZING food and service. Chloe was very friendly and recommended a tasty cocktail. There are several vegetarian options, the Crispy Curried Eggplant and mixed vegetables were perfectly cooked. We will definitely return and will be referring our friends and family.

This is one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. I like the fact that even though it's in a college town it could have all looked like the first two pictures where you see the bar and the high table seating areas all with the sea green/ blue walls.They choose to include a romantic setting in the back with a separate bar. Here you have the umbrellas high above.The twinkle lights tumbling downward, like rain sparkling in the light. Although it was extremely busy our server were attentive, friendly and smiling. Multiple bartenders are required with that specialty drink menu that revolves with the seasonal changes.A lot of people come in here for the drinks as much as the food.... martinis with names that contain items like pomegranate and fig, pear and Ginger, apple cider old fashions, pumpkin pie, s'mores. Please note the s'mores come with flaming marshmallows! I had my Cabernet to show the wine fill. My friends had assorted martinis. pictures above. I got to taste everything they were all creative and tasty. Although there was no beer at this table they have a large variety to pick from in bottles and on taps and at the bar as you enter there are several large TV screens to watch sports. I ordered the short rib poutine and a caesar salad. The poutine was an appetizer but you'd never guess, it was the size of a meal. The only thing I could say bad about it was that they should have omitted the salt on the fries. Between the white cheddar and the gravy there was enough salt. The meat, melt in your mouth tender. The Caesar salad was perfectly done. A companion had the feta cheese watermelon and arugula salad with a green goddess house made dressing. Exceedingly good. The table also gave High marks to the chicken Cesar wrap and the fried rice balls containing squash and other elements. Same with the ahi tuna appetizer. Guess we should mention there's a specialty menu for appetizers meals and desserts that also rotates frequently with the seasons. None of us got past the mention of pumpkin tiramisu for dessert. Light and delicious.On request they made me a coffee with Kahlua and whipped cream. MMMM... prices are mid range for this area. Please note the specialty menu has no listed prices...so bring a credit card. Appetizers run from 9 to $14 and meals probably 25 to 35 on average. My Napa Valley Cab 9.00 a glass. Oh yes and my pet peeve the bathrooms. The ladies rooms were spotless and quaint. However the bathroom stall doors are the ones that join in the middle with a slide latch. I could see that becoming a problem if someone had three or more martinis.😉
