i went to dinner with my sister and her friend teresa a little while ago and forgot to post. we debated over which of our usual favorite restaurants to go to and finally decided to try a new place. the "snack bar" was just the breath of fresh air we needed. the snack bar offers an intimate atmosphere, good food, and an attentive staff. first we cozied up to the bar for drinks while waiting for our table. once seated we were pleasantly surprised by the menu options. though the snack bar has several "snack" options they also have carefully chosen entree options made from seasonal ingredients. I had the beet salad and the mushroom gnocchi but i also shared some cheeses with the girls [a manchego and a triple cream, sooo delicious]. as much as you love your favorite restaurant it is always nice to try a new place!
