But if it's on an evening, i think it would be alright or not on a hot day! Simple space, an oval bar in the middle for setting up drinks/foods. It looks like it used to be a restaurant space here before!

I finished my meal in just a few minutes, because there weren't that many bites of it. The table next to me had two gentlemen on a date, and I saw them finish off a round of 3 entrees and order a 4th after... that was after they had apps. The inside is nice though. It's got a quaint, Italian feel. It's dimly lit so photos are tough. Service was good and friendly. The taste of the dishes was good, but not great. When your portions are tiny, you better be bringing major flavor. They did not. Overall, this is an expensive place for small portions.

It's true what they say in other reviews - you'll miss the entrance if you don't know where to look. So in that sense, plus the dim lighting in the bar once you're inside, it does feel a bit like a secret spot. There's a couple small tables for groups to sit around, but most folks just take a seat at the bar. It's dim, slightly dingy, but fun - with lots of references to rabbits along the walls and above the bar. The staff are nice and friendly, and they specialize in imported beers from Belgium, Germany etc. - though we just got a couple ciders. Fairly pricey but good overall. The bathroom is just as much of an experience as the rest of the place. In any case it's a neat, tucked-away spot in a fun part of town. If you're looking for a place to relax and have a unique beer at, this is the spot for you.

Since it was right next to where I was leaving my friends, I decided to see if I could get a seat at the bar without a reservation. I checked in with the host and she said they had room. So no rezzie needed that night when solo. The bar area is very dark and intimate. I only had time for one drink and decided on the one above. It was nicely balanced. I'm a whisky girl, especially rye, so I enjoyed sipping on this. A nice stop on the way to diner. I was here years ago, but that experience is a little hazy. Glad I was able to revisit. REVIEW #4002
