This is a very nice neighborhood bar serving good food. There is a large bar area, a pleasant dining room and a covered outdoor dining area complete with gas heaters. There is a huge selection of beers in bottles and on tap. The wine list is not large but is reasonably priced. We started with the goat cheese marinara and the Cajun crawfish. The goat cheese is melted in a rich marinara sauce and served with garlic bread. The Cajun crawfish had a subtle spice but the Cajun mayonnaise could have been hotter. I enjoyed the blackened pork chops. Another good choice for an entree would be the BBQ ribs. They are tender nd the sauce has just enough sweetness without being overwhelming. I also enjoyed a ribeye special with blue cheese and crispy fried onions. Service was friendly and efficient.
