We've been meaning to try this place out for quite awhile. They just participated in Dine Downtown Week and their menu looked pretty damn good and after a write up by Poor Girl Eats Well, I was really sold on trying it.

It has a street front location in Old Sacramento and the interior is beautiful! the tables are nicely spaced so you don't feel like you are sardines and the open kitchen is fun to watch. They made a giant table for our group of ten which was just super nice of them.

Their bar, which is comfy and fun to be at, has an amazing beer selection. So many so, that it was almost overwhelming. The bartender was on it! You tell him what you like to drink and he'll bring you a new beer that you'll love. And if you get wine, it's served in your own cute glass carafe. That's some classy shit.

Everyone seemed to like their food. They love their bacon so that can't be bad. The burger was said to be okay. The calamari was good. The bacon bloody marys seemed to be loved by all. And they had a BLT pizza which seems like a great idea.

Now, I've got two complaints. Mind you, I came straight from happy hour at the Grange so I might have had some high standards in my pea brain. They have a Foursquare special when you check it, but they won't honor it. Waiter said that is "should have been taken down". Either way, if you have a promotion out there with no expiration date, you should honor it. And I had a fabulous conversation on Twitter with them so they are obviously at least somewhat use to the social media realm. That was the first "no".

Then someone tried to order a fig cocktail that was on their menu and he said, "oh we don't make that anymore". They are paper menus. Either make what you are offering or update your damn menus! They are paper for a reason. Now, that could have been avoided by a more tactful server but our guy was just okay. So minus points for the service. Waiter service and for overall customer service.

Bottom line, I would still go back but would hang out with the knowledgeable and friendly bartender and get some appetizers at the bar.
