We walked in and, poof, the cig smoke was immediately repellent. But we thought it was just near the entryway/bar area, so we kept going and were seated, and proceeded to suffer through a smoke-filled meal. We left immediately after paying and drove to a coffeehouse to find a place where we could actually enjoy our conversation. Never going there again, or anywhere else that allows smoking. I still think the best thing that ever happened to smokers was the ban, because now they get outside to smoke in the clean and fresh air each day instead of hibernating inside smoke-filled rooms.
