We did feel welcome! Oh I forgot to write below ... the most wonderful thing... was the security system... 20 extra points just for that.
We did feel welcome... but not smothered in chattiness.. enjoyed watching Mark's industriousness in the yard....
Location was super.. walk to lots of stuff we liked Genes sausage shop, Fountainhead.. Giordano's was first time we liked deep pizza, super house salad and BYOB good since we were on a brewery trip.
Walk to the El ...easy.
