I'd give this place 4.5 stars if possible. I really like it but it is a little shy of being perfect. I live just a few blocks away and anxiously watched the renovations of the building in anticipation of the opening. The time spent on renovation was well worth it because the interior is beautiful and spot on for the atmosphere I believe the owners were striving for. Each time we've been there the service has been wonderful and each of the different craft cocktails I tried so far have lived up to the pre-opening hype. The small plates have ranged from pretty good to excellent. The only knock I have is the cost. I was dreaming of my own personal Cheers but this is more a place where you plan a nice outing than a place you pop into couple of times a week for a good drink and a light dinner.
