World infused American cuisine; the rock filet; wasabi-crusted tuna. Lunch: Monday-Friday; dinner: Monday-Saturday. Reservations accepted. Children's menu; cocktails. No wheelchair access. Entrees: $10-$28.
Appetizer-wise, the Prince Edward Island mussels are serviceable, but the crab cakes aren't quite as spicy as the menu suggests. The pork chops are a hit--two meaty monsters served with smashed sweet potatoes and super acrid mustard greens, all in a pool of jalepeno nut brown jus. As for beer, you will not find any not crafted by Elevator. Lite beer and domestic pilsner drinkers will like Lift...

Im not a big beer drinker but my husband loves the selection... I like supporting local businesses and this is one worth checking out. The food is good but a bit pricey which is to be expected from a downtown restaurant. Nice servers and envronment!
