You walk in the door, and you're greeted by a woman dressed as a wench. The walls boast a stuffed hog and old-world candles for light on all-stone walls. It's a throwback to the days before the prohibition when the booze flowed freely.
Have I piqued your interest? The Catacombs, owned by Bube's Brewery, is a romantic hideaway for you and your honey. You embark on a tour of the rickety, dark brewery and travel 35 feet down into the tunnel where alcohol was smuggled during the prohibition.
I was in search of a new and different restaurant for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. Wow, did this place fit the bill! We had scalloped fritters, chicken with tomatoes and capers over linguine and lobster and crab inside a pastry shell with parmesan cheese. Not to mention, they brought the most delicious piece of blueberry cheesecake pie with a chocolate crust and two birthday candles.
(I didn't say a word when we walked in about his bday. They asked over the phone when I made reservations.)
The service was friendly, and we didn't feel rushed out at all. The prices range between $16 and $32 for entrees. If you're looking for a place to escape to, Catacombs it is!
