Marcy, a friend, recommended this place and she was right. We found it rustic and warm.... Actors abound.... (Ethan Hawke, and wife, were eating at the table next to us.) Much like stepping foot into a traditional hunting pub.. Two full bars make the place comfortable with hunting trophies on the walls. Very mixed crowd from trendy, to artists to tourists to wall streeters. The atmosphere is amazing.
We ordered the ceviche special that was sushi grade fluke fish with cucumbers w/rhubarb, jalapeno & lime juice that was amazing only to be surpassed by the mussels that had a tangy garlic broth, that I ordered.
Colorado lamb topped with a sweet polenta was gamey, I love lamb and order it whenever I can. Jose ordered the PanRoasted Sockeye Salmon w/, tomatoes & padron peppers from the Washington coast a bit spicy on collard greens (why do places always tell you where your food is from? It feels too personal to me). At first I thought the portions were small, but they were exactly right. We left the place just full enough.
The waiter staff was amazing, friendly and professional. We're looking forward to going back to this place during the holidays...
I've heard their Brunches are great, Ill let you know when we get a chance to eat there.....
