    the blue eyed bartender has a rotten attitude, otherwise It can be fun. Avoid this bartender he needs to retire already

    I don't believe I'd been in here since the fire that closed it down (many many years ago) but my…read morehusband had been in recently with friends and suggested it, so imagine my surprise when it looked just as I remembered it pre-fire. It's still dark, with dark wood tables -- a very old-school bar in the best possible way. It had been so many years that I didn't recognize any servers, but the woman who served us was very friendly, prompt and attentive. We sat at a small table for two in the bar, and we each ordered a drink (beer for him, cider for me) and we split a full order of nachos. They also brought us water without asking which was a very nice touch. Our drinks were good (mine was in a can, so it was exactly as expected). Husband ordered a dark draft beer that he enjoyed. The nachos were good. It was a generous serving and we liked how the meat was thoroughly cooked and we also liked how the chips didn't get soggy. One thing we both noticed is that there was a real shortage of cheese on the nachos, and we both feel like that's a crucial nacho ingredient: we would have liked a significant amount more cheese. Prices were quite fair for what we got. Anyway... it was a real nostalgic trip into 'Stones and we enjoyed it: we'll be back.

    Random Valentine's day dinner…read more I never expect to go out on Vday, simply because I hate the crowds and how busy it generally is everywhere-- Nonetheless, it's always nice when my bf surprises me with plans! He made reservations so we didn't have to wait long to be seated. I have been here once before, a verrrrry long time ago but only for the bar, I'm sure. Back when I was bar hopping in my twenties. Never dined here. It was definitely set to be... moody? Very dimly lit, which I don't mind. I love being in darkness lol however, there were a bunch of much older customers dining there and I saw a couple of them shine their flashlight from their phones to see the menu better. They had a decent amount of seats inside and I believe there were some outside too. Our waitress was very spunky and friendly... we liked her. He ordered the Pork Chops (extra crispy), side salad. I ordered the Pesto Ravioli, with I think... Chicken Gazpacho(?) Soup? Something like that. If you can get passed the very thick, chummy texture... it was actually pretty good-- kind of like Clam Chowder? Anyway, he really liked his salad. He thinks all salads should come with raisins lol. He enjoyed his pork Chops-- however, they were not extra crispy like he asked. The rice pilaf that came with the plate wasn't the best, neither of us cared for it (and I normally loveee rice pilaf). The winner on his dish? I think it was the veggies (to me) it was cooked and flavored perfectly. My Raviolis were good, the tomato cream sauce over them was the right touch. Oh, I almost forgot... they gave us a basket of bread and butter (forgot to snap a pic)... I've gotta say, this was probably one of the worst bread I've ever received from a restaurant. We both agreed it seemed like very old bread, it broke apart very easily and felt stale upon biting. The butter didn't help it much either. We normally finish bread baskets-- we only touched the two pieces we tried and that was it... shame. For drinks, he got a beer and I got a pomegranate margarita. Beer is beer to him, as long as it's good. My margarita was good but it definitely was like a more watered-down version I remember getting back when I didn't know (or could afford) quality drinks. I used to pay for margs like that for $3 at Applebee's. Anywho, overall experience wasn't bad. It wouldn't be my first dining/bar choice but I wouldn't be opposed to returning.
