In America materialism is very important to kids of all ages. College age students, like myself, are concerned with diesel jeans, sunglasses, ipods, and what kind of car to drive. The idea in America is buy whatever you can afford and often times buying on credit. Very few young people save money, the tendency is to spend all disposalble income on material goods. I spend a lot of money on going out to new restaurants, but i usually only go clothes shopping once every two months or so. My car is expensive, but I see it as a neccesity.
The only carry over from the previous location is a good one, the dark n' stormy, which is an outstanding drink (ginger beer and Gosling's rum) and the national beverage of Bermuda. My steakhouse standard, Caesar salad and steak frites, were good-- I had the N.Y. Strip. I would have loved to see a ribeye on the menu, but the strip was cooked to the right temp with a nice char on it. The fries were exceptional.
Overall, it was a good functional menu and is a good addition to the neighborhood as a bar and restaurant for the locals to gather.
