Sat at the bar for a long afternoon with a friend. Beer selection was impressive, but the glasses were filthy. Each and every one. I'm not a squeamish guy but when I can see what color lipstick the previous user was wearing I'd at least like to now if she was cute if we're to share an STD.
I applaud the effort to serve each beer in the appropriate glass (although Kolsch should be about a 10oz pour to maintain it's refreshing coldness) there is no excuse for greasy streaks & spots.
Food was a bit ahead of itself. Had the Duck Confit 'hash'. Billed as an appetizer it had WAY too much duck, (which was not a true confit as it wasn't rich enough), too few potatoes & too much over salted 'reduction'. My salad was drenched in dressing. (hint: it should shine not swim)
I also found it disappointing that despite spending close to $100 on food & drink we were never offered a buy back. Most unusual for a draft oriented bar.
If I were to go back, it would be for the beer & will probably bring my own glasses or at least wear an outfit that matched the lipstick on the glass.
I deem this place salvageable with 4 stars for effort but only 1 for execution.
Good Luck.
