• Nice bar with good selection of martinis. We love the olive plate as an appetizer. The food is good and seems to have gotten considerably better over the years. Nice atmosphere and staff is usually good, although one waiter tried to sell us a re-fi on our house as we were trying to eat dinner !!!

• We try to get to this restaurant from 1hr away (and needing babysitter for 3 kids) at least once yearly. The olive plate and all martinis are to die for and entrees always something new and different. A couple that lives near us also does the same, even before we were friends, so discovered it on their own! Give it a try! We're going tonight, friends are jealous cuz no babysitter!

• THO MY HUSBAND AND I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET OUT OF HERE FOR LESS THAN $100 INCLUDING DRINKS AND TIP(VERY GOOD BAR BY THE WAY) FOR DINNER IT IS ALWAYS AN EXCEPTIONAL MEAL YOU FEEL THAT YOU'VE HAD A GREAT MEAL OF UNIQUE OFFERINGS ALWAYS FRESH AND WELL PREPARED. WAIT STAFF IS VERY ATTENTIVE WITHOUT HOVERING AND MAKING YOU FEEL THEY WOULD LIKE YOU TO CLEAR OUT SO THEY CAN FILL THE TABLE AGAIN. LUNCH IS A GREAT BARGAIN AS IT IS LESS PRICEY BUT STILL WITH SOME INTERESTING AND SELDOM FOUND FARE OTHER THAN THE QUICK BURGER OR CHICKEN PASTA FOUND EVERYWHERE ELSE. CAN BE DONE ON A LUNCH HOUR...REAL PLATES AND NAPKINS TOO!!GREAT BREAK ON A HECTIC WORK DAY.. WE LIKE THE NEWER LOCATION ON E. BELTLINE ALSO
