Smeehuyzen's pride and joy is the hand-crafted oak bar he made years ago. Decorated lampshades over some of the booths were hand-painted by local artists, including Carol Tharp Perrin and Elaine Pagels. Smee's no-frills approach works. The narrow storefront entrance opens into a snug, long dining room with booths and tables. The bar area fills up the back.
Kids are welcome in the front of the house.
Specials are posted on a small blackboard near the front door. Most of the food is prepared from scratch. Wings draped in a barbecue garlic sauce or a honey mustard coating also are available. Salads include traditional favorites such as spinach, Caesar and a respectable house salad that is festooned with chopped egg, freshly shredded cheese, sunflower seeds and tomato, along with the lettuce. The house dressing, a parmesan vinaigrette, gave the house salad a satisfactory coating of oil and spice.
