On Fridays and Saturdays, the bar and patio here become refuges for the dolled up and decked out as 20-something singles, rebounding baby boomers, and long-toothed cougars all head out on the prowl. Those who are not ready to tear into the pickup scene can actually sink their teeth into a number of fairly decent tapas, perfect for sharing with a couple of friends. The mussels and clams come wonderfully steamed, positively demanding that one sop up the juices with some warm bits of bread. Shrimp and pork pot stickers or dumplings provide the Asian component of a menu that spans the globe. Mexican-inspired fishcakes are served with a pineapple salsa, while fish taquitos come with a chipotle dip sauce. The menu also offers a number of main courses, including cedar-planked grilled salmon and a daily pasta special that in season may feature fresh B.C. scallops in a light tomato sauce. In summer, the patio on the third floor is fabulous for lazing about in the warm sunshine, while come fall or winter, it's a good spot to cuddle up beneath a heat lamp in a big leather chair. Be nice to your greeter, and she may show you the way.
