The Downtown

Overall everything we had for lunch was good.  One annoying first impression that struck me the wrong way was the hostess was busy chatting at the end of the bar with the staff and we waited for about 5 minutes until she was done with her conversation.  Only to come over to us and tell us you can sit anywhere.  Thanks Swifty.  Our server was very attentive and nice.  I had the Cobb salad which was good, partner had California Roll which was also good.

This place has spiraled from "nothing special" into the "retarded" column. The service was so bad one day at brunch, I had to get up and go have a talk with some kid who was the manager. I don't want to go into all the details of how stupid the staff is, but when the waitress comes over and tells you her name is "Destiny" that's an indication to get up and leave. Waitresses shouldn't give themselves stupid names like strippers. I can't understand how this place stays in business. They couldn't bring us a spoon -- three times I asked for a spoon.

Solid beer selection (good number of crafts) and a really nice space upstairs for live music, with its own bar area.  Crowd upstairs was a little more my age (downstairs was more like early-mid 20s, and the music kind of loud and techno-y), maybe due to the band, but still more my scene.  A casual place to grab some beers and catch some good music.
