Beautiful beautiful space in a historic building right at the edge of the "downtown" part of North Main Street. There are many cozy seating options (at the gorgeous bar, a banquet in the main space, seating area against the wall away from but in view of the bar, and a separate back room). The night we were there it was busy but not packed with people so we could tell the acoustics were good for older folks (like us).
It may have been an off night or a new bartender, but - regrettably - there were a few glitches getting our drinks: the extra dirty martini came to us actually cloudy from the amount of olive juice (but my daughter decided not to return it), and the bartender said out loud that he didn't know what a vesper martini was but he'd look it up to try to make one (ouch). Prices seem a touch high for the RI market; four cocktails cost the same as they would have in LA (per that daughter). Still, the vibe is great, and it was a classy stop for us before dinner.
I'll definitely try a different night!
