The main dining room has been broken into two rooms, a non-smoking bar and a non-smoking dining room lots cooked in their wood-burning oven — like flatbreads and skillets — plus a bar with a focus on craft beer and craft cocktails. smoking will still be allowed in the other smoking bar. Seeley will also be offering both food and growler delivery, with dinner and lunch service available now — reservations available via OpenTable.
