My fiancée and I went out for a get away date night. We saw this place on the web and figured to give it a try! So glad we did, such amazing service and the best alcoholic beverages!

We had a delicious Ceasar salad and wings that were loaded with finely grated parm. Waitress was attentive and the atmosphere is great. Wonderful but pricey drinks. My only complaint is that the music was way too loud for that small space.

Just reopened under new ownership and my new favorite cocktail place in the area. Amazing selection of delicious cocktails. Blueberry Lemon Tini our favorite so far. Super friendly and excellent service, good tunes at a great volume, nice lightly, overall great atmosphere for drinks with friends or a date. Small bites menu looked good!

We went to the Maine House for our date night, which usually means drinks and appetizers. We typically look for a variety of interesting small plates, but the selection here was lacking. The food is from the Liberal Cup, and over the past few years, the quality there has noticeably declined. That said, it seems to have improved a bit.

My wife ordered a crab cake, which was good. I had the spaghetti Bolognese, but it was more like American Chop Suey—plentiful, but not at all as advertised.

Personally, I found their cocktail menu too sweet overall, and it lacked any classic offerings—no Aviation, no Vieux Carré, etc. I ordered a Manhattan, which was decent, but it was served with a bright red maraschino cherry instead of a Luxardo cherry like you’d expect at an upscale cocktail bar. Small details like that matter.

Finally, when we arrived, there was only one waiter serving an almost full house. I flagged her down and placed our drink order, but after 20 minutes with no drinks, I asked about them. She snapped at me. While I understand she was under pressure, taking it out on customers is not acceptable.

I'd like to see a revised food menu specific to a craft cocktail bar, and more thought on the drink menu with more attention to details

Great food, live band, cool atmosphere. They even have art for sale. Only downside is the parking, seating options, and long wait for service during the busy times. Even then, I'd still go back because it's worth the wait.
