| - Food and drink at Meat and Potatoes: AMAZING.
Service: Interesting
I say that because I feel like there is a bit too much of an attitude from the hostess and sometimes from the bartenders. I wanted to stop in for drinks before a show and when the hostess asked if I had a reservation, I said no, we just wanted to stop in for drinks. She continued to inform me that they were a very popular establishment and it is important to make reservations. I asked if we could just sit at the bar and was told yes, but that tables were just for those with reservations. I clearly mentioned that I was going to the bar, there was no need for her to tell me several times that they are popular. When we got in, the bar was completely empty except for two seats. Most tables were empty as well, but I do understand that they might be if people were coming in for later reservations. Service at the bar was friendly and efficient. They gave recommendations on which drinks to try and also suggested some of their most popular items. I love steak tar tar and was excited to see it on the menu. It isn't east to find on a menu and even harder to find a good version. Theirs is served with an egg on top, aioli drizzled around the sides and peanuts. The unique additions made one of my favorite dishes even more tasty. I ate it slowly because I wanted to savor every bite and was actually sad when I took my last forkful. I can't wait to try this dish from them again. I also had the poutine. The price seems steep for an appetizer of french fries, but the portion size is quite large and everything about them was tasty. For drinks I sampled the Delicious Sour. It was a perfect blend of the ingredients and I would order it again.
On another visit, I had a very different experience at the bar. I almost felt talked down to by the bar tender once I said I wasn't going to be having any drinks. Every time they walked over they mentioned how they have such great specialty drinks, they are known for their drinks, etc. I get that, but there are a lot of reasons a person someone might not want to drink, no need to be pushy. They also seemed to want to rush me out. I felt like I wasn't trendy enough to be sitting at the bar and they wanted me out to get someone else in who better fit their image.
Overall, a great place with amazing food. Just be aware that you might get some snobby treatment and be reminded of how great the restaurant you are in is.
