In Short
Purple and orange polka-dotted walls, vintage records and wooden tiki god masks adorn this retro hangout. A great place for a pre-theater meal or drink, this lounge offers a small--but thoughtful--menu (try the bruscetta trio for starters) and lots of specialty martinis. The restaurant also serves up to 20 beers on tap as well as lattes at the coffee bar. Sip your drink of choice in front of the kitschy faux fireplace.

This place has pretty good food but you have to have the patience of a saint to find that out because this place has the worst service of any place we've ever eaten! Frankly it doesn't seem that they're even trying. The last time we were there it took us 45 minutes to get a bowl of soup and another 40 after that to get our main courses. The time before that I didn't get my entree until my wife was totally finished with hers. We weren't even offered an apology; but the waitress did insist repeatedly that it was not her fault. When they expanded the seating area here they should have made the kitchen bigger too, because they can't handle the business. We even had one of the better servers here tell us that we shouldn't come here on a Friday or Saturday because the kitchen can't come close to handling the crowds! Restaurants that give terrible service to regulars in order to seat parties that are too large for the kitchen to handle usually don't stay in business very long and based on our experiences here, I don't think this place will either. When patrons take the time to complain to the owner of a business and all they get for their trouble is a bunch of lame excuses and more rude service it's time to move on and we will be dining elsewhere in the future.

One of our favorite places to eat out. Casual, good service, good food, good beer selection. Great to sit outside on the not so hot days!

From the get-go I liked this place. I still would rather do the Lava Lounge than sit in the expanded dining room. The whole triangle has trouble keeping staff, but having the owner on the premises helps. At least they don't try to turn tables. They don't push you out. Be patient, you are now in the South. This is not a pizza joint, this is similar tothe 15/501 diner. Funky atmosphere but serious food. Even the hamburgers are works of art. I am of the Il Palio, Four Square, La Rez, Parizade fan club and this place is my total favorite. It has a certain something. HINT:dress better and you will get better service (it's all perception.... but you knew that )
