It was nice to see the owner Benjy at the door of his newer location. It's been open for two years now. The fickle, hip lounge crowd has diminished; however, the 30-something foodies still gather here.\r

Like their original location, they have a lounge on the second floor...watch the stairs. There is a second floor patio where smokers can mingle. I prefer the bar they have downstairs for better customer service.\r

They serve some inventive drinks and have a decent bar menu for happy hour which is from 4:00 -7:00 PM. I was surprised that the Sliders didn't make me salivate, because they were highly recommended. I preferred the warm pistachio crusted goat cheese cakes and the delicate salmon tartare for $6. \r

Sunday brunches at their Dunstan location are still worth rolling out of bed to enjoy.
Pros: Larger; speciality drinks were good
Cons: Washington location has a sullen vibe
