we had a really good time here…

great signature drinks (strong and well-priced), really good fish (the tilapia and the grilled salmon), amazing service. seriously, the server/bartender was outstandingly affable and accommodating… he offered good drink suggestions and made experimental cocktails for us to try and generally seemed really happy to serve us, and more importantly seemed happy to be there. it’s always refreshing to see someone enjoy their job AND offer great service. he even told us about a song that was playing, the compilation it was from, plugged the local record store he got it at, and ended up giving us the cd since it was a burned copy.

the happy hour specials (drinks and food) are a really good deal.

the bar space is nice and cozy, with some little booths… the dining space is huge and bright, filled with artwork from local tattoo artists. very nice vibe all around.

the menu is very veg-friendly, but still has some tasty sounding chicken dishes, steak, and fish.

full menu/entrees til they close at midnight.

my only complaint/criticism: the veggies, offered as a side with the fish, were bad. bland mixed veggies from a frozen bag, surely. don’t know if this is typical, or the result of us being the only people who’d ordered entrees in hours. if they could get some decent local veggies and do something simple yet tasty as a side dish, this would be my new favorite place.
