Ortine is great but empty

Looks nice in there. They opened last week, as planned.

Yeah, Atlantic Co was almost always abandoned.  Great beer selection but it's just kinda weird to sit at the bar for more than an hour with no one entering the establishment on a Thursday night or before walking over to a Nets game. 

My wife and I brought a friend of ours out to dinner at Ortine maybe 4 years ago, and though the food was very good (I had steak with horseradish butter, which I think they quickly dropped from their menu in favor of more pizza) I remember thinking it was in the right place at the wrong time. With all the new residential units Hello Living have brought and are bringing to this corner of the neighborhood I hope a market develops for something interesting at this location.
