| - Outstanding happy hour. 1/2 off beers gets you a $3 pint. Half off good wine is like $5-6 per glass.
You can order from happy hour menu from tables, which are crisp, clean room, not too close together. It's a nice experience.
Plates are small, but if you order enough you can share.
Ribs are good ($9) and worth trying. Foam yogurt dipping "sauce" was just okay.
Mussles ($11) were good. Sauce was outstanding. Decent portion, and you'll use all the bread mopping up the sauce.
Fries were okay ($4, same as regular menu). Nothing special. But the dipping sauces were worth it. Truffle ketchup was amazing. Vert sauce was interesting. Garlic Aoli was a bit too much like pure mayo for my taste.
Soppy joe is a value at $6, but nothing super special unless you love sloppy joes. I wouldn't order again, because I don't, but wanted to trust the chef.
The burger is, like all reviews, outstanding. Well worth the $8. I ordered it well done and it was perfect. The onion roll is unbelievable. Just a great burger. Better than the "st francis" onion burger, which is great in it's own right, from a competing restaurant.
Dessert was donuts (just okay), but with a mexican mousse that was really good. $5 well worth it. And the push pop at $5 was also very interesting and worth trying.
Altogether, all the above food was in the ballpark of $65 for two people inlcluding two drinks and tip. We were stuffed, and had enjoyed creating our own "tasting menu".
We'll absolutely be back for happy hour or even a regular dinner. Salads seemed nicely sized, so I think I'd try the salad with sand dabs on it as an entree, as the other entrees I saw being served were "tiny" portions. I'm sure good... but tiny.
