I so badly wanted to like this place...a new bar in my neighborhood that looked like my kind of place.  I was pretty disappointed. \n\nThe restaurant area itself was pretty boring, nothing special about the decor....only tables, no booths to break up the space.  The bar top did look pretty cool, but we opted to sit on the patio since it was such a nice night.  \n\nThe main feature of the patio is a pretty nice fire pit, but that's where the good points end.  The patio was very small and the patio furniture was black wrought iron table/chairs - very uncomfortable.  The noise from 59th Ave (a major road) was distracting. \n\nWe decided to make the most of it and order a drink and some food.  We started with the oo rings, which were the best part of the meal, very large with a nice dipping sauce, but very greasy.  I ordered the Kona Lager, which was also good.  For entrees I tried the BLT - not good, chewy bread, cardboard bacon and salty cottage cheese.  D. ordered the daily special which was the fried chicken.  I did not try it but D. was not pleased.  \n\nService was good.  Our drinks were always refilled and we were checked on often.  The food did come almost immediately after we received our appetizer, which the waitress apologized for.  \n\nService is the only reason I am giving this restaurant 1 star.  We will probably not be back.
