A++ Would by fire wood from again. (Hat tip to CompoundJoe who made me realize the logo is really wonky.)

This is just a Crazy idea...Imagine if Pele's had a late night pie slice cart out front or on King.
You know... for the Polite but sometimes loud crowd with money and an appetite after enjoying good Local brewed beverages.

And who enjoy being outside and walking I might add..

A few pics from tonight. They open on Sunday:

I had the seafood appetizer. Sorry, I ate most of my shrimp before remembering to snap a picture.

The food is quite good and the decor is gorgeous....but make no mistake folks...this is not a "pizza place"...or a cheap restaurant for that matter.

"This is not a pizza place....or a cheap restaurant for that matter."

Good. If you want your 'meal' served in a paper bag for $6 you can get that all over town, and in several spots in the RAP district.

They are competing with Orsay, Taverna, Biscottis, The Brick, Bistro Aix, 'Town and Chew (when it opens). The biggest challenge will be finding and retaining quality wait staff. The food is excellent and will get better as the kinks work themslves out.

I went to the Thursday Soft Opening and left full and happy.

The location is also a plus. Plenty of parking within one block and lots of traffic all day.

Does the big church across Park allow parking in thier lot at night?

Ernest Street · December 31, 2011, 07:00:47 PM

The whole block to the right of the entrance is fair game. The Vets office,the block behind.Even St Paul's diagonal sliced front entrance pick-up area.
You don't even have to cross the street.
