The atmosphere is very nice. I highly recommend the Ceaser Salad, ask for more "Twinkies" and you must try "The Hamburger". The drinks are great. The dishes are good, could consider them overseasoned to some.
We love this bar, been dining here for over 22 years. We've seen it change from the original twice in that time, the latest recently opening so we checked it out today. We ate lunch here and the positives were it was excellent food, good drinks and great service.
It was also our own private restaurant, we were the only diners which surprised us at first. But, once we saw the both very limited and very off-the beaten-track menu choices we understood this...

I wish I would have gotten the managers name (female with short brown hair) was absolutely FANTASTIC each time we came here on our month long stay, which was quite often. Drinks were great and found the staff friendly and attentive. Loved the atmosphere. We adored this spot and would highly recommend.
