by Andrey C. on i haven't had a cocktail here yet but i did do a shot of grey goose, and from what i hear from my friends the cocktails aren't bad (though a bit pricey for happy hour). i like the space and spaciousness; i got there around 7:30-8:00pm after the crowds had dissipated to dinner. interesting characters there though--a very drunk but preppy guy came up to two girlfriends of mine and threatened/offered to make out with them. i thought it was hilarious!
by Jason K. on Make no mistake, the food was very good. And the staff was extremely friendly. However, I give it three stars because of the price, limited selection, and unimpressive atmosphere. My wife and I visited last Saturday morning for the first time. As suggested by previous reviewers, we called ahead to ensure a spot. I wasn't so sure at the time, but this is probably a crucial move if you want a seat. The staff was extremely friendly, and had two seats reserved for us at the counter. The counter itself only accomodates four, and even then it's a tight squeeze (the two spots next to us were occupied the whole time we ate). There are a few small tables as well. Overall, this restaurant has VERY limited seating. It's a little dark inside, and has a lot of homeade decor and pictures. It's "quaint" I guess, but it could certainly use a little updating if you ask me. They did play 88.5 xpn, which was a major plus in my opinion. We were given the choice of about 4 or 5 dishes for breakfast. My wife got pancakes, and I got lamb osso buco. The portions were very large, but did not include any breakfast meats (you can purchase them extra though). Mine did include eggs and potatoes. They were both well prepared and tasty. My wife's pancakes were very fluffy and delicious. After we finished and looked at the bill, we saw that each dish cost approximately $15.00. Furthermore, I didn't have enough cash to pay (it's cash only), so I had to run accross the street to the police station (closest ATM) to take out more money. All-in-all it cost about $37 for our meal. Pretty steep for breakfast.
by Reid Garetson on If you ever feel like having fancy Mexican food, this is the place! The food is fantastic, the drinks are yummy and they have velvet paintings of Elvis! The big booths were made for a romantic date out with someone special OR with a group of friends having a wild night out. I went here on a date once... and well, it didn't work out but one of high points of the relationship has to be the night out to the Velvet Margarita (and it wasn't cause the guy). Next time... I'm going with girlfriends for a real treat at the Velvet Margarita!
