It's great, but the wait can be brutal. There's a side bar (the OSB) on Schubert that has a more limited drink menu and no food, but you can just pop in and get a drink without committing 2 hours.

Very inviting with friendly service, and their cocktails are solid. It's more of a small plate food menu so might want to plan for dinner elsewhere.

A very thorough selection and the closest thing to a full-blown grocery store we have in the immediate area. Note that it's primarily organic, independent stuff--if you want a Diet Coke you'll need to go to the Foodsmart, but if you want healthier stuff you come here.
