Really awesome, relaxing place

This place might be on the small side, but it has a lot to offer. They have a sizable selection of ports and Scotch whiskeys, which go very, very well with their hand-rolled cigars, and the atmosphere makes it perfect for an after-work chill session or a pre- or post-dinner date. It feels a bit like a secret nook- always active but rarely crazy- and the staff make sure to address any questions or requests you might have. I highly recommend giving it a shot (even if you don't smoke).

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
