This place has a lovely location and a wonderful decor. It was an amazingly pleasant place to sit and talk for a few hours. What kept this place back was the food - it just wasn't worth the prices. The options are all okay, but they lack the distinct identity and flavor I'd like to see in a ~30 dollar entree. The menu also lacks theme or consistency - mussles and fries, burgers, seared tuna, steaks, and avocado toast are all great but don't go beyond "hey people like to eat these so let's serve them and charge a lot for them". If you have a gift certificate, it is worth it. If not, I would not spend the money. The drinks are quite good, so coming just for the bar may be worth it.
