The portions were large and very good. We had two variations on Moscow Mules which were served in copper cups as they should.

We're average-sized people and had trouble squeezing into our seats without disturbing the tables next to us. However, that's an easy fix and I suspect they'll work it out soon. We opted to make a dinner out of small plates - the Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673210614890084353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-88796180493638654492014-01-26T22:37:21.607-05:002014-01-26T22:37:21.607-05:00My family went tonight and it was excellent.

Then I found only one (I think) Howard County farm listed (Mt. Airy's Wagon Wheel). Very disappointed!!! If they say they care about farming and local, they should make more of an effort to support Howard County farms - especially if they want Howard County residents to support them.

I had the Cinnabon which was carmel vodka, rum chata, brewed coffee and whipped cream. So warm and yummy on a snowy day. My husband had the Spiked Cider which was caramel vodka, fireball whiskey and hot cider. It was even better! jricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-79966650255175924942014-01-26T13:19:23.186-05:002014-01-26T13:19:23.186-05:00I think that small plates menu sounds fantastic - ...I think that small plates menu sounds fantastic - and honestly, I haven't seen half of those things anywhere in HoCo.
