My husband and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat the other night. The parking lot looked pretty full so we were initially afraid we would have to wait for a seat, however, except for two tables of diners all of the customers were gathered around a large bar area for happy hour. The dining area was family-friendly and featured spacious



table seating as well as oversize booths covered in different fabrics. Though on the same floor as the bar, there was a partition between the two halves so that noise was kept to a reasonable level without feeling totally separated. My meal was okay - it was a seasonal chicken focaccia sandwich. The side of beans that came with it was really tasty with a good, spicy sauce. (The lima beans are huge, so if you don't care for them they're easy to pick out.) My husband got a Big Horn Hefeweizen and BBQ baby back ribs. The fries were really good. The meal was fine-well cooked but the sauce, though plentiful, wasn't terribly flavorful. Bottom line: good beer, food is well prepared but lacking in flavor. If we go back we'll stick to basics and try more of the beers. - Babs, 08/22/2005
