Atmosphere

Comments

Small bar seats only ten. On bar are several cups containing Trivial Pursuit cards, which can provide entertainment while waiting for a seat in the dining room to open up.
The restaurant is good, serving wonderful home-made bread which is easy to fill up on before the entree comes.
People at the bar tend to talk to each other, which is unusual in this area.
Their real emphasis is on wines with well over 100 available from around the world. Prices range from $12.00 - $150.00 per bottle.
Beer is served in frosted mugs. Be sure to ask up-front if you don't want one.
They also make a Black & Tan with Dominion Stout and Bilbo Baggins (Victory Amber Lager).
Describes itself as "the kind of place Bilbo Baggins and his hobbit companions frequent to laugh, eat, and drink." Several menu items are named based on themes from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings.
