| - I lost my heart in caramelized onions and melted gorgonzola.
While running errands in the neighbourhood and trying to avoid the draw of chicken and waffles at Harlem, I stopped in my tracks in front of Destingo's massive, street-side patio. It's big and the furniture is shiny so I couldn't help but zombie shuffle towards the shiny.
The service was great from the start with menus, water and an offer of beverages immediately. The latter seems to be a lost art these days or my patience for a cold beer on a hot patio has grown thin. Wait, maybe it is me.
I initially thought the menu was ever-so heavy, but after downing my roast beef sandwich (w/ caramelized onions and gorgonzola), my attitude changed: sure it wasn't on a panini as listed on the menu, but that was clarified in person and it was still worth every penny.
Tap selection was small - Stella, Bud (what?) and something that escapes me - and a bit price-heavy at $7.00 for a pint of Stella, but it was cold enough and tasty enough to warrant a second.
I could see it being a regular hangout it was much closer to my office, but it's unfortunately not, so I'll have to find an excuse (and more cash) to run errands in the area.
