"Has a tiny elevator just for your drinks to get to the second floor. Write down your orders and send them to the bartender."

"Parking is easy on Sunday -- street parking plentiful. Otherwise, beware of permitted zones!"

"Great for sunrises, bird watching, and listening to the trees. Coming in summer? Wear your bug spray!"

"Many solid wine and top-shelf liquor options here. Turkey cranberry sandwiches are the only ones worth it."

"Service is old-school, and that's a good thing. Fish was perfectly cooked and the wine pairings were excellent. Call (way) ahead for a reservation and you won't be disappointed."
