We sat in the bar for happy hour. The views are very nice. The service started out very attentive, but petered out toward the end. The Monday special was 2 micro beers or mussels for $5. The ad was misleading, tho; it looked like they were offering 2 beers AND mussels for $5 (too good to be true). The mussels were not good. I did not like the cider sauce at all. I'd wished it was simpler. We also had the salmon cake sliders. The salmon was fishy (in a bad way) and there wasn't enough aioli to cover up the fishy taste. The cornbread was delicious and came with lavender butter. I could have taken the butter home. It offered a hint of lavender without the perfume. Finally, we had the crispy calamari. This was the prize of the evening. It was perfectly fried with a wonderful dipping sauce. To drink, we had the 2 for $5 beer deal of Mac & Jack's African Amber. We passed on dinner as it is expensive. Although the Ivar's fish and chips is always a good choice from the food stand out front.
