And then the waitress was super friendly (like everyone we met in Florence). My wife had the ham po'boy which was grilled like a Cuban sandwich (yay!) and I had the fried shrimp po'boy. Both were excellent. For sides my wife chose a half grapefruit brûléed and I had marinated tomatoes. I remember having sugar on a half grapefruit as a kid, but bruleed? Epic! I loved the big wall in the front dining area-- half of a Cessna airplane on the wall, superimposed on a blueprint painting (see photo). Very creative. We'll be back!

We had a lot of cocktails and I think I tried almost all of them at one point. I lost track of the names and which ones I liked, but I did have a few re-orders. The bar was a bit slow so you'd have to order your next drink before you were done with the one you were on. I guess that's chain drinking1 Food was typical bar food with ok appetizers (tater kegs were interesting) and meh pizza, but the lemon pepper wings may have been the best lemon pepper wings I've ever had. The flavor was bright and peppery! I'd definitely get these again.
