Maybe I should choose the smaller dining room (also with views of Bailey Park) just beyond the bar, or the still intimate, but larger dining room in the back with the oh-so-cool water vapor fireplace?

Do I sit at the “culinary bar” right up next to the open kitchen so I can watch all that live-fire and other action?
