New restaurant/bar and cafe from the guys behind Dominion Wine & Beer/Downtown Crown. Nice long bar with more seating than Dominion and a good amount of table seating. Some outdoor seating which should expand when the weather warms up. 16 draft selections with a mix of American craft beers and European beers, looks like full pours only with no flight or smaller pour options. Table service was friendly and attentive. Food selection was solid with various appetizers/small plates, sandwiches, and entrees. Had the chips and guac along with the steak frites, both pretty tasty and good quality. Value wise, it's on the pricier side but pretty similar to Dominion's pricing. Solid spot for a sit-down meal or to hang out at the bar. For ticks/smaller pours and a more expansive craft selection, I'd recommend Dominion though.

gave a cheers!
