| - 2nd time at Greenhouse Tavern, same result, good times and great tasting food. I was really struggling last Friday on where to go for a pregame drink / appetizer so I just chose Greenhouse because I though it would give us a good vibe to start off the night....and it did just that. We walked in, no reservations, and received a decent table in the main floor area, past the bar. This was about 6pm, place was just starting to fill up, but still quiet enough for everyone to converse.
I decided to just go with the house red which turned out to be a very good choice. My mind wasn't made up regarding dinner, but I was a little under the weather and thought that a nice red would jump start me without turning my stomach....good call JT. The other two in my group just ordered a beer and water, respectively. They do have a lot of different types of beers and a nice wine list but if you are going for a bud light, you might have to go else where.
As for food, we were heading out to dollar dog night at the Q so we decided to just get some snacks to share. We went with the wings, clams, frites, fromage blanc, and crudites. I really enjoyed each and think it was a perfect grouping of snacks for a night out on the town. I ate most of the Foie Gras infused clams but the wife ate most of the broth, it was a nice twist to the standard. Clams were huge. The Wings Confit were delicious as usual (my 2nd time getting them). Make sure that you get all the cut up veggies on every bite, it really brings out a flavor explosion on your taste buds. Although, I still like my sauce slathered wings, but not in a joint like this. The other items were good but nothing I can really comment on. I can only say that you can't go wrong with anything on this menu. I really want to head back for dinner.
My only con for this place, which is probably because they were just starting dinner service, was that we had 3-4 different people asking us if we wanted our plates cleared when we were obviously still snacking. This little annoyance can be ignored because I understand completely why it happened.
