    Not bad, but service is really slow. You can wait for more then 15 min just to get a desert menu, not sure that you will still want to try to get some desert after that (will it take another 30 min?)

    Wines and bubbles ordered by the glass will be poured to sample first. Don't be alarmed that you accidentally ordered the whole bottle!

    The clam chowder with house-cured bacon combines wonderfully with the Schlenkerla smokebeer for a delicious warming snack or first course on a cold day.

    The "Wildwood" cocktail is a Bobby McCoy creation imported from ES. It is smooth, refreshing, and the perfect choice after a long day of work. Drink.
