Comfortable booths, table seating if you prefer. Large outdoor patio, as well. Our server, Austin, kept us in drinks and treated us well.

They were delightful with the right amount of smokey flavor and bacon. Two of us ordered the Cioppino, myself being one. Lots of seafood and flavor. Others had the Grouper, the Chicken Scallopini, and the Tuna Bowl. Everyone raved about their meals. The Tulip is a neighborhood favorite.

Not all bars or bartenders do this, especially on busy nights, and my experience is not necessarily common. On to the review. Some evenings are just dinner and drinks. Some are experiences. Thanks to Tony, Grandam was an experience. Had a 5:30 Monday reservation at Grandam, which was easy to snag on Opentable. Had time to wait before my reservation, so I sat at the bar and ordered Rosemary Sol Margarita (blanco tequila, rosemary agave, apricot liqueur, tajin). The drink wasn't bad, but despite the bartender's attempts at making the recipe less sweet, it was still pretty cloying. That's when the bartender introduced himself as Tony and we began to discuss margaritas and our personal tastes, which led to Tony making me his own personal brand of margarita, which was much more palatable. Then it was time for my reservation and I bid Tony adieu until later (more on the bar to come). The restaurant, decorated in moody velvets and leathers, was empty, but that could have been due to the snowy weather. My server was wonderful and prompt, and took pride in explaining how Grandam is part of a farm collective that prioritizes local farmers and vendors, though she did explain their oysters were from Chesapeake Bay (of course). While the appetizer menu contained pork belly, corvina dishes, oysters, Jamaican crawfish, yuca fritters, and deviled eggs, I opted for the wood fired mushrooms. This dish, made with foraged mushrooms, salsa mocha, goat cheese spread, and cornbread was earthy and complex. Loved the goat cheese's added creaminess. I am not a cornbread fan, but this cornbread was light and tasted as cornbread should. Once other tables started arriving, several remarked how much they enjoyed it. I almost considered the tri-tip, made with bourbon braised tri-tip, 12 year white cheddar, grits, and mustard chimichurri, but the server told me it's a larger dish meant for sharing and I didn't want to ruin my main dish. For my entree I couldn't pass up the venison Wellington, deer meat wrapped in a flaky puff pastry, accompanied by pumpkin miso Demi glaze, country ham, foraged mushrooms, butternut squash, broccolini and fennel salad, and a tart cherry vinaigrette. The venison was moist and fall apart tender, medium to rare, and the dish came together like a symphony. And even though it might be a little trashy, even in the nicest restaurants I order their fries. These fries were crisp and hot and well seasoned. Grandam has signature entrees that are always available. The Wellington changes depending on which meat is seasonal. Pan seared trout, fried chicken, and a filet are also on the old and faithful list. The seasonal menu included another corvina dish (a mild white fish), creole lamb curry, clams asada and corn pasta, more steak, and cabbage and chana. The dessert menu offered pecans and coconut, miso chess pie, a chocolate torte, ice cream, and nightcap sweet drinks. I was so full I had to pass. Of note, the chef of Grandam is Ecuadorean, so expect that to influence most, if not all, of the food (in a fantastic way). Once I finished my meal, it was back to the bar, which is part of Grandam as well as the Manchester Hotel Lobby, where Tony awaited. Tony used to be the manager of the bar before leaving for other opportunities, and told me he still worked Mondays to "fill his cup." He and I bonded over the fact that I am adventurous and like to let bartenders have their way with the spirits. I don't order off the menu if I don't have to. First I had a cocktail made of my favorite spirit, gin-- the last word, a prohibition cocktail made with gin, green chartreuse, maraschino, and fresh lime juice. Simple, refreshing. Then Tony introduced me to a vodka I've never seen before called Blacklion, made with a rare type of sheep's milk. While I know it sounds crazy, and I'm not even a vodka person, it was incredibly smooth. He made me a reverse vesper martini, a lighter, aperitif style drink. It was my favorite drink of the night probably, and I'm not even a martini person. We finished the night with what he called the best American whiskey in the world, stating, "If I could draw whiskey as a picture, this is what it would look like." It's not often bartenders wax poetic. This was not cheap, and he warned me, but I had ended up sitting next to a guy who had helped design several of the whiskey labels at the bar, and that's what he was having, so with all that, how could I say no? That had to be the last drink of the night because it was very deep and smoky and a knockout. Tony agreed that it was a nightcap type of beverage and not much could follow it. Tony has a true passion. This whole evening was a vibe. I can't wait to go back again. But if you want the Tony experience, you have to go on a Monday! I can't be held responsible for any other day.

Not only do they have an amazing selection of coffee, espresso, and tea, but their food menu is fantastic too. The seating areas are adorable, and they have the cutest gifts and items for purchase. It's the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, or even a drink at the bar, but it's also great if you just want to grab a latte to go and do a little shopping. If you visit when the butterflies are in season, make sure to take a stroll to the butterfly house on the side of the building - it's a small, peaceful getaway. Sometimes they even have moths in a cage inside the store, which is always interesting to see. I've been to hundreds of coffee shops across the country, and this is truly my favorite of all - and it just happens to be right next to my neighborhood.

(we actually thought they might be closed). Once we were greeted the women was very nice, and even gave our kids some free little duck toys. Our food arrived quickly but every plate was cold. We asked her if she wouldn't mind heating up 2 plates, she was very nice and apologetic and reheated the dishes. I really wanted to like this place but the waffles just did not taste good, and with them being cold I was very disappointed for paying $15 per plate. And the blueberry/lemon waffle was off tasting and bitter. Maybe they were having an off day, maybe the woman who was helping us was the only woman there and having a difficult time. I'm not sure. But after spending $70 for cold, bitter food in a hot building we would not be coming back. The woman there was kind though.

I tasted the whites, never heard of them, awful so you can't go wrong w/ a High Noon. Small bar, three other patrons & bartender was busy talking that I didn't get a drink until I was seated to eat. He came over, like it was his first time seeing me & said oh someone forgot about you over here. Yes, you did. No worry. Started w/ the Charcuterie Board 3/5 the marinated olives (which my server had no clue they were marinated when I inquired more) were the best thing! I could buy a jar of them. The meats were ok, brie was good, the cheddar was stale like it sat out for two days. I ordered the Short Ribs which came w/ a Blue Cheese Risotto. Horrible. I know short ribs are fatty, but only got one piece of meat off of them & the risotto tasted like some kind of cleaning solution & even smelled like it. 5/5 for the Collard Greens. I asked the server to replace the risotto for Collards & he said they can't because the chef thinks it takes away from the dish, unless you have an allergy. I dont eat carbs, but said ok & gave it a taste. I was starving so gave them another try by ordering the Smores Dessert. 5/5 Very good. But I did not leave satisfied w/ the service or food at all. My server was clueless to everything. It's such a gorgeous establishment w/ so much potential! I was not planning on such an awful experience & hope they get it together. I'd like to come back & not feel like Im starving after I leave a farm-to-table establishment. Try it for yourself, but the greens were the best w/ hot sauce. I almost left after the bar experience & the charcuterie board, but stayed to give them a shot. Wasn't worth it.
