Birthday dinner and cocktails for a friend. The four of us raved about the cocktails and the food. The music was excellent, very good view. I asked the bartender to create a special "birthday" cocktail round for us based on general ideas (not sweet, bourbon-based, something that would pair well with what we were eating). He delivered in spades. Would definitely return again. I wish I had something comparable in Toronto.

I knew from when I first entered that there was a great sense of tradition here. The menu is everything one would expect. Many patrons seemed to know each other and were familiar with the piano player. We had a delightful meal and enjoyed the feel of this place. It was the perfect and unpretentious way to end our Seattle visit.
