When you first walk in, you are completely taken over by the all the really cool abstract paintings, which I'm guessing are all local. And if you happen to fall in love with one you may purchase it for more than a pretty penny, but it does help out the local artist. I loved the way the bar was set up to your right, when you walked in. Which makes it super easy to sit an enjoy one of their many signature cocktails, may I recommend the Grapefruit Swizzle. It is awesome even for me, someone who does not like the mix of grapefruit juice with alcohol. It was not over whelming in taste and super refreshing for those hot summer nights.
Let's get to the food and ohhhh my gosh you are going to have to go every week to try something different because it's so worth it!!! The first visit was for lunch and I had the Smoked Turkey and Bacon Club Sandwich, with a side of their Chicken Tortilla soup, which I could swim in a vat of! The sandwich was great and had a good combination of flavors which was accented by the hickory smoked turkey and bacon. The pepper mayo just finished off the sandwich on a great note. My friend had ordered the grilled cheese also with the soup. It was awesome! I loved that they used more than one kind of cheese. It had baby swiss, cheddar and my favorite, smoked gouda all with a fresh herb spread and crunchy ciabatta bread, grilled to perfection. We both loved it!
On my second visit I had the Grilled Auhi Tuna Sandwich; which is my favorite sandwich they serve. I love the ginger mayo which hi-lights the fish and adds some spice. Truly an explosion of flavors in your mouth. My friend from work had their Pulled Pork Sandwich, that was layered with their own BBQ sauce, swiss cheese and bacon! What a twist on a classic!!! I had to have a bite, even though I don't eat pork and I loved it! Again we both had the soup for our side and again it was delicious.
The third visit evoked us to order appetizers along with our entrees. We had the Chicken Rolls and the Baked Italian Cheese Spread. We loved both and could not stop eating it all! The Chicken Rolls had a mixture of cheese, cilantro, peppers and chicken wrapped in a puff pastry and baked to perfection and served with an avocado sour cream for dipping. I almost had to lick the plate of the left over cream, it was a great combination of flavors with out being over whelming. We could not figure out what kind of cheese they had used in the Italian Cheese Spread, but we loved it all the same and really liked that they brought out two kinds of carbs for dipping which, were pitas and cibatta breads.
Be sure not to pass this gem up and the owners are a pleasure to talk with if you ever have the chance to run into them. They have great customer service and we had loved all of our waiters we had there.
