What a great find! My friend and I were in town for a U2 concert and had been struggling to find a gem of a restaurant near downtown. Both of us appreciate quality dining, but don't want linens and tablecloths. Dominion Square Tavern fit the bill perfectly. It was close to our hotel, the food, service, and cocktails were terrific...so much so that we made reservations for the following night before we left.
The first night I had the veal special. It was seasoned perfectly and nicely presented. I wouldn't have changed a thing. For dessert, my choice was the sticky toffee pudding. It was absolutely divine! Not sickly sweet and the cake had a really good texture. The second night I had the brazed beef. Another winner. It was very tender with a flavorful wine sauce. This night, I had a cocktail for "dessert".
Jake was our bartender. Great guy. He was attentive and a true craftsman in mixing the drinks. My absolute favorite cocktail was the Mint & Gin. While normally a beer guy, the quality of the cocktails won me over. So much so, I am trying to duplicate the Mint & Gin at home.
After the U2 concert, we returned for drinks. I have been raving about Dominion Square Tavern ever since I returned.
