Chris "Did I Tweet You?" S.'s Profile

A decent drink, poured by a cranky bartender, and understandably mediocre, greasy bar food... add up to a fairly decent experience that's great if one isn't looking for anything other than booze and a place to interact with friends without interruption.  Crowd is slightly older, which lends itself often to a slightly friendlier, more casual feeling.

FOXY (pro):  decent pour at a good price
HOUNDED (con):  Staff varies greatly in competence and friendliness.

Great lil bistro on a quiet street, with delicious food served by prompt, friendly waitstaff?  IN NORTHWEST?  SHHHHH... don't tell anyone!  

I had the Very Vegan Hash (with eggs substituted for tofu), and the potatoes, roasted red peppers, shiitake mushrooms and toasted almonds were cooked to perfection served in an very appealing presentation.  My co-diner had a very appetizing spinach omelet seeming to have been cooked at exactly the right temperature (thank you, omelets shouldn't be overcooked brown on the outside!).  Two delicious brunches with coffee and soda for ~$15 apiece AND quick and easy?  YES PLEASE.

Sitting outside was a delight, and the servers all were very watchful that we never were in need of anything.  I was so delighted, I didn't get a chance to even peek inside.

NELL, LI TAY IN TA WAY (pro):  Everything I saw!
CHICKAPAY (con):  Not a con, but a poorly backed observation, as I did not enter the building:  might be too small for more than 3-4, but most of us hate you brunching-in-herds assholes anyway.  Stay away from my lil secret.
