Ok, first off, I'm probably one of the most frequent customers at this place, so obviously I like it. That said, this place is great, although to get the best experience it is helpful to understand it. First, the place is fairly small, and the kitchen is even smaller, so if it gets crowded, you can expect to wait for your food for a while. Second, they have a five course tasting menu on Tuesdays for $20 in place of the normal menu, which while one or two items may not be something you in particular like, it is always a treat to try. They also have a wine tasting that can be ordered on Tuesdays, with a different type of wine with each of the five courses. one caution... as a result of the tasting menu, Monday nights they tend to be out of a dish or two, as they don't want to hold stock over Tuesday, so if you want to get a full selection, I would try any other day other than Monday. They frequently have very good specials that are also worth trying as well, and are usually changed out every Wed. As for the normal menu items, my favorites are the HUGE shell steak (ask for extra mushrooms and sauce, you will be glad you did), and the pork tenderloin. I have brought many of my family members here when they visit, and they have all enjoyed whatever they tried. My cousin that visits from Cali fairly frequently always wants to go back, so it can't be that bad.
That said, this is the type of place where you can in general get the best service if you sit at the bar. The bartenders are all very friendly and willing to chat, and most of the people that come in and sit at the bar are regulars that are nice to get to know as well. If you do come with more than two or three people and sit at a table, don't hesitate to ask for refills on water and bread if that is what you want. All in all, I enjoy eating there (several times a week at times), and can recommend it to anybody.
