Escada Restaurant and Bar

Went with my brother last night before going back to the west coast.  It was one of his friends birthday and we got some drinks and some appetizers.  The food was good and I was so glad to get same adams on tap.  

Reason why I give this a five star is the staff was very patient with the group even though many of them were getting loud and silly as the drinks kept getting poured.

Gotta give it up to Escada, they have a good thing going.

I picked up some Chicken Marsala to-go and it was enough for 2 portions..easily.

We went back a few nights later for some drinks and had a great time. Good mix of locals, drinks were perfect, friendly bartenders, and the band was excellent!

Reminds me a little bit like the old Stuffies in NP..with better layout and better food.

Doesn't take much to be a regular here.  The bartenders are extremely cognizant and will remember your name/face/drink.  

For the other two posts.. yes, this is a bar, however they do serve an extended menu rather than your typcial burger/mozzarella sticks/wings menu.  Some are a hit, some are a miss.

First time I came, I had the veal parm.  It was pretty damn good, considering it cost like $12 or something like that.  The marinara was good, definitely not bad... and the cheese they used was fresh mozzarella... very good.

The wings are great, the shrimp cocktail (i know right) is suprisingly good at $8 for 5.  The last ones i had were between U12-U14, so they were a very good size and an extemely good deal considering shrimp like that usually goes for $3-$3.50 a piece.  The cocktail sauce is very good as well.

Drink prices are normal for a bar...

Recommeneded for a nice updated bar.  Only complaint is the live music is as loud as balls.  The place is tiny and wide open, they don't need the live music THAT loud.
