This place definately has some good italian food, and definately my place to go in terra linda if i'm looking for good itialian food and for respectable prices.

I like the general aura of the resturant, its chill, and the serving staff is nice.  When i was there our food order was messed up a bit, but the server was very quck and nice to fix the issue, it was an honest mistake so i was hardly dissapointed.

Check this place out, you'll like it, and leave very full!

Nickel Rose

First of all, for those of you who are new around here (like me), this bar used to be called 'B Street Tavern'.  It caught me off guard when i couldnt find B Street Tavern which i found an address for in Google.

Anyways, Nickel Rose now is very much a lounge versus being a dive bar, which is good, because there are alot of the same-old dive bars in the area.  So its nice to see a change.

I went there Friday and Saturday and this place was hopping both nights which is good.  It peaks around 11pm, and there is definately a good mix of male/females.

The drinks are also good, they have a wide range of drinks available, from beer, to well drinks, all the way up to nice martini's and cocktails, so a little something for everybody.  Also, the people that go there are friendly and just there to have a good time.

They do have a slight dress code, a friend of mine was not allowed to wear his hat, but thats about all I noticed in that regard.

I recommend that you check this place out, not to shabby OR expensive for the lounge environment that it provides.

This bar has a great selection of home made draft brews, and don't try to get another kind of draft beer, cause they don't have it.  The beers that they do have are made right there, and you can see the distillers through a large glass window at the bar.

I went there at 9 o'clock at night, and it had mostly locals at it and was relatively empty.  Its peak time is earlier (8ish said a bartender) but it is within walking distance of other good bars in Farfax.

Their food is supurb and very good, also the bartenders are very knowledgeable about their beers and make wonderful suggestions.
