It is not the loudest bar in the county, and that is part of its grace. The crowd is conversational, downtown, and mature enough to understand that a good glass of wine is not a personality but can improve one. The vibe is warm rather than showy. If HMF is a silk evening jacket, The Blind Monk is the book you keep beside the bed.
