Wowwwwwww!!! Quality large portions, with decent cocktail HAPPY HOUR 3pm-6pm (daily/closed Monday) is an incredible steal!!! And then they also have a WEEKLY WEEKDAY $50 for 3 courses + AYCD (all you can drink) wine?!! If you go Tuesday or Wednesday, a pianist is playing. You can stroll around the small plaza, or stroll down the street where the lakes are too! Quick happy hour date! Became a full dinner and drinks instead.
Justin, bartender, was super welcoming. He walked over to us in the bar with an enclosed patio seating area to explain their happy hour, and special activities. He shared:

- Weekly Special Tues-Friday, $50 for 3 courses and AYCDrink red and white wine??!!! The menu changes weekly.
- Wed and Thursday: Pianist playing in the dining room area.
- LVAC discount on non-specials in the dining room.
Vibes remind us of a chill coastal town restaurant bar. People are casual and nice at the bar. Great place for a nightcap, or even coming individually/single party.
Happy Hour offered large portions, and decently strong drinks. We actually had interest in trying a non-HH salad and cocktail but we were too full.
- $9 Sweet and Sour Calamari was wayyyy better than expected. I thought it was going to be overly powered in sweetness, or soaghu sauce. But it was a bit crispy, and fun to eat. I didn't feel like I was eating candy. The shredded lettuce soaks up the sauce a bit and balances the dish out.
- $12 Prime Burger was a pretty beefy burger. Medium rare beef was hefty. For anyone looking for a low carb meal, this is great!! We were going full carb so we enjoyed it all. The SO are my cheese for me, and dressed his burger with side thousand island style of sauce.
- $7 Upgraded wells cocktails like old fashioned and margaritas were incredible steal!! We were expecting dive bar quality cocktails (usually horrible, reason ppl order only two time ingredients drinks at dive bars). But it was definitely not dive bar quality. I'd say it could be today's $9 drink for someone who is picky but for most ppl, I think this could be a $12 drink.
Cocktail wise, I wouldn't expect a mixologist level but it's pretty good for its pieces and as a local restaurant. I'm impressed and plan to come back to figure out what type of drinks they specialize in....it was old fashioneds, but ours was pretty decent and strong. Apparently they have 7 types of espresso martinis?! We're looking forward to trying their other specialty cocktails.
Also looking to try their non-happy hour beets salad, and alot of their appetizers. If happy hour portions and quality was great, I'd imagine dining there to be worth trying. Will definitely be back to try their all you can drink wine and 3 course dinner for date night or with groups of friends.
