    The food at BAR VLAHA is excellent. This is not only the traditional MEZE, but a number of dishes, spreads, and casseroles which are not typically found in Greek restaurants. I recommend coming with friends so that you can sample an assortment of dishes. We were there on a week night and it was not especially loud. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

    Really great option for grabbing a bite anytime, but especially if you are planning to hit up an event at Road Runner across the street! We made an OpenTable res the night before and were seated immediately when we arrived the next day. Service was lovely- very friendly from all staff we interacted with. My old fashioned was fabulous, if a bit pricy. (Cocktails on the menu appeared to start at ~$17) My husband's blackberry limeade mocktail was also delicious! ($10) we split truffle fries as an appetizer and NO REGRETS!! So tasty. He ordered steak frites and thoroughly enjoyed it (cooked perfectly/as requested) and I had the pan-seared scallops with parsnip puree, brussels and carrots, which was absolutely delicious!! No notes. We decided to split a creme brulee for dessert, which took a while to arrive, but before we even had thought much about it, our server appeared and apologized. She said the ticket never printed in the kitchen for some reason, but they were working on it and it would be right out, on the house. We honestly wouldn't have expected (or even requested) the dessert be comped, but we were chuffed about that one above-and-beyond detail. We left a nice tip (on the original amount, before the comped dessert) and now we will definitely come back to Rail Stop everytime we are headed to a show at RR!! Thank you for your thoughtful customer service. A++!
