I ATE
If you come here early, take advantage of the "happy hour" specials. I'd recommend the discounted oysters (3 for $5); I can't recall but I believe the Doorstep Slouch is $5 instead of $14 between 5pm and 7pm. Definitely worth it if you want a cocktail without the price (it's pretty good!).
Whippoorwill does seafood well. The oysters were great but the Sea Bass was the clear standout dish of the night. It was soft, tender and flaky!
I was a bit disappointed by the Thai Flank Salad - it was too spicy for my liking and texture wise, just weird - chilies and spiky things everywhere. That said, it's a hearty portion.
I love the added touch of those cute, flower laden plates you'd get at your grandmother's house.
The Korean Hot Stone Rice and Burger are next on my eats list here. I'll be back!
