Cioppino Restaurant & Cigar Bar Menu

Cioppino Restaurant & Cigar Bar Restaurant Review:

Holding court in The Cork Factory, Cioppino has proved to be a draw on a quiet weeknight or on a weekend, as a special occasion destination with the occasional local-celebrity sighting. Décor encompasses rich textures and colors, especially crimson and gold, dark woods, leather and contemporary glass chandeliers. Enter into the stylish bar where management aims to combine an urban lounge experience with a warm neighborhood feel. You can meet here for cocktails, nosh from a bar menu, order from the full menu or bond over events broadcast on large plasma TVs. A clubby cigar bar accommodates the smoking subset, while a private room offers business and party amenities. The main dining room attracts a casual but sophisticated crowd, along with a full coterie of just-after-work suits. The menu weds seafood, chophouse fare and small plates --- and, of course, features cioppino, the signature San Francisco-style fish stew. The dessert menu has some surprises, including olive oil cake, affogato and "choco tacos."
