Wonderful happy hour 4:30 to 6:30, but must sit in bar or outside for happy hour menu; enclosed, covered patio; nice atmosphere inside though the dinner menu is pricey and not as good as the happy hour menu; also ask for bread (they are good) and recommend a house dinner salad to go along with happy hour appetizers; more for couples or small groups - not so family friendly; 3 minutes from the house
