This place is one of those gems that you would swear you only find in cities such as Chicago or New York. Best description would be to call this place "Total Class." While the menu was not set to break the budget ( in fact, it was set to prices of an average diner ) the food was outstanding! The atmosphere, outstanding! The service, outstanding!
The Bloody Mary ...
The extras were well chosen and added an interesting twist with the addition of pickled beans. A VERY well chosen addition indeed. The flavor mixed well and added a nice compliment to the drink. The Bloody Mary was a bit on the spicy side, and did offer a good kick. Those faint of heart to spices may opt for a different drink. The flavor of the mix was well proportioned to the amount of alcohol and had good tomato flavor without being watery. A beer chaser was actually offered by the waitress as an option as opposed to just being assumed. And an excellent choice of beer chasers it was. Not sure what the brand, but it definitely had flavor to spare. My only negative critique of this cocktail would be the lack of a salt ring on the glass—something noticed by one of my fellow diners ( who had chosen the same drink ) as well.
If it appears by the photo below that there was quite the substance to this drink with plenty of thickness via additives, you would be correctly envisioning it. Nothing to choke on, but plentiful enough for me to describe this drink as having "pulp."
