Yes, we asked last night and it is no smoking in all interior spaces. There was nary an ashtray to be found in the place. They said they will allow smoking on the patio when the garage doors are up, but that the sliding door separating the patio from the inside will remain closed so the smoke doesn't drift insideQuote from: Big Larry on February 14, 2012, 10:30 amI heard it was no smoking. Can anyone confirm that?

We went last night and we were wowed too. It certainly qualifies as one of the nicer interior spaces in the village now. It's non-smoking in the interior, but smokers can step outside to the front patio to smoke.We sat in one of the booths too. Started by splitting the crab cake appetizer. Two large cakes were outstanding. Then we each ordered an entree. Kevin got also got the double bone in pork chop...loved it. Too large to finish there so brought home the leftovers. Kevin also got a side soup of the day which was chicken broth-based and delicious. I got the grilled salmon which was served over fried root vegetables with a split pea mash side...really good. We split an apple and dried-cherry bread pudding dessert served with vanilla ice cream...delicious. All of the above, with two beers for me and one for Kevin, was $68. Tip brought it to $86. We''ll be back for sure. We got a lot of extras last night, but I think it normally will be fairly easy to keep at around $50 or less for the two of us, for a nicer experience at that price point than other village spots. Very welcome addition to the EAV bar & dining mix. Tables were about 1/3 full, and bar was pretty much full the whole time were were there. Owner said they'd done no advertising yet so business last night was all word of mouth and walk-in. Our server was great, although overly attentive, which we shrugged off since it was opening night and the fact that they weren't slammed giving servers there too much idle time.
Not obtrusive at all for dinner dining in booths. One over the front door might be a tad obtrusive if you were dining at one of the high tops. Several from what I recall for bar-sitters.

My only question is will the bartenders and waitresses be dressed like this?It's a trend I've seen in pub themed restaurants lately.
