You might, if you're ever inclined, try BackBar, which is their next-door bar/nibble place, which does indeed serve the same non-alcoholic options as the restaurant but is much less of an investment in time and money of an evening.

I'm sorry it felt like No Fun, though - the folks who run the restaurant are goofy people who are goofy and excited and not the least bit jaded about food and I would hope that would come through for everyone visiting.
