With a long white-marble topped bar and fresh seafoam green paint and green-and-black plaid seats on the booths, this newcomer to Upper King Street captures the retro style of the early 1960s. The menu looks backward too, with classic, no-frills fare ranging from tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches to big plates of fish and chips and chicken and waffles. The breakfast menu’s steak and eggs, huevos rancheros, and french toast are served all day, which means late into the night when you need something substantial to line your stomach. Brent Sweatman heads the bar, and his cocktails recreate old classics like the sidecar, while his house-made ginger beer tops off the bar’s signature Moscow Mules served in snazzy copper mugs. They all come together for a rare bit of nostalgia that doesn’t feel dated at all. —Robert Moss Dish (Winter 2013)
