UPDATE - Returned once more after speaking with Chef about recent problems --
The results are not so good again. Now, the restaurant , once presented as a child friendly place with kid menus at the bar, now, according to Randy their bartender, "is not a place where he would like to come after work to see toddlers". The employees here continue to impose their opinion. This same bartender
the first time around said "it is illegal " to have kids in bar area now says well places can have policy.
This bartender, while another employee was standing there, says "hey, by the way, we read reviews on Crescent City. Actually, attacking me in front of other customers for my opinion after I though this was settled.
I am officially done and I suggest you stay away or risk unpleasant regulars and ignorant employees and a place which changes their policy for happy hour alcoholics.
DO NOT GO!!!! This place is filled with shady characters, red-faced drunks at the bar and belongs about 5 blocks down on south street with the rest of the trash.
------------------Adjustment to Review----------------
I went back with my kids to eat. The restaurant has always allowed us to sit at the "bar" like tables and have never had an issue. Aside from the fact that 30 minutes went by for Mac n Cheese and a Burger, a group who this place has allowed to become their watering hole, began ranting and causing all sorts of trouble because my kids were at "their" bar.
The fact is that this place is suppose to be an upscale restaurant and full menu is served throughout the place in ALL seating areas. The "bar" they refer to is not a bar but an extension of their dining room and a place for people to wait for their other seating or those who want a less casual experience.
Pros: nothing anymore
Cons: drunks at bar harassing people (multiple times) and over an hour to get food
