    Get your whiskey with large ice and watch people eat from the mezzanine. And don't drop your silverware.

    Upon seeing the abnormal size of the ice cubes I recommended my drink get checked out by his doctor.

    Decent cheese selection but the bread is awful - puffy white bread that can't hold up to the cheese.

    Try not to sit at the mezzanine bar. View is nice, but whenever they fire calamari below at the chef station, a cloud of coughy smoke wafts up.
