Place
My seat. The clientele were a bit seedy. I wasn't all that impressed or having too much fun. I was trying to watch the KC Chiefes playing Joe Judge's NY Giants on Monday Night Football.
Also seen: the picture of this lady at the bar. Risque!
Oh and she's hanging on the wall in the men's room as well. Risqueeeee!!
Service
Was friendly.
Just two people working.
My water. Service was slow. The bartender was also the waitress...running ragged.
Outdoor area
Nice area with tables and a service in the back. Check it out if the weather is good!
Ambiance and Vibe
Sign saying $5 cover for band but no band.
Bar
TV
Playing Baseball.
I love baseball, it was the World Series.
Way less fun and lively than The Longhorn at 6 on a Monday.
They have shuffleboard.
Music
Stevie wonder isn't she lovely
Phil Collins playing quietly
Too quiet.
Food and Drink
Menu and Ordering
So it was dinnertime and I was Old Father Hubbard and had nothing. Out I went.
Seemed like I needed to know.
Food
Sides
Side salad
"Smooth" bleu cheese dressing a bit of a bummer. Didn't stand out.
Salad looked pretty good generally.
Freshness
Purple stuff
Cabbage
Onion
Too much.
Dressing
Not notable.
Diced tomatoes
Tomato soup
Really nice taste. Great, basically. Herbs in the real good. Served piping hot. Parmesan makes both chewy and creamy. Small bits of garlic in there, perhaps, that are made to be enjoyed.
Mains
Swiss Dip (Burger Dip)
Savory Steak Salad
Waitress recommended.
Dressing
Balsamic vinaigrette.
Didn't use. Quite sweet, somewhat thick/viscous and wasn't at all needed.
Hot Grilled Onions
Gorgonzola
Delicious and fresh overall. Black pepper taste was enjoyable.
Freshness
Steak
Good, spicy because black pepper, cooked to medium rare as expected, plentiful.
Greens
Good variety, dry.
Chopped tomato
Size
Crunchy bits
Cucumber
Red onion
Purple cabbage
Sirloin steak
Waitress said to avoid.
Captain's Plate
Dinner salad
Dressing
Good. Zesty. A bit thin.
Red onion
Purple Cabbage
Diced tomatoes
Not huge but good enough. Maybe should be called a side salad instead.
Greens
Some spinach. A bit too "flat" for me but ended up being quite good.
Was all hot.
2 Fish
2 Prawns
2 oysters
Lemon wedge
Could have used malt vinegar.
Clams
1 small tartar sauce
Needed a second, hesitated to ask.
Coleslaw
Cioppino
They had tonight as a special. Sounded good and would like to try at some point.  
How often do they have cioppino?
French dip
Here it is. Doesn't look too bad.
Bread looks okay. Meltedness and all that looks good.
Swiss and caramelized onions. Seems like it's going to be good right. M, not really great.
Jus looks light in color but does have floating bits so I assumed it'd be good. It was fairly "oily" which was good. 4 of 5.
Sandwich looks good but doesn't taste all that great standalone. 2 of 5.
Money shot is not looking real great. Jus too light in color. The jus did "save" the sandwich though and brought the flavor up to a 4 of 5. Quite good. Oniony.
Good but only passable.

Served in a clear coffee mug which I actually liked. Felt retro.

Had two Manny's.
Manny's
Cold.
Had another tonight as a second beer after an IPA. Wasn't my favorite, though. Maybe too sweet or thick?
Dragontail IPA
Liked a lot.
Thumbs up.

Enjoyed a steak salad and tomato soup in a Monday. Both were great. Would go back for these items but the clientele still seems to me to be a bit backwoods/from up river. Longhorn more fun and vibrant.
Aftertaste after soup and salad
Great real estate makes it hard not to stop there. But it's really not my jam compared to The Corner Pub and Longhorn.
