| - I went here over the weekend with some friends to celebrate a friend's new job. I had never been, but heard a lot of good things, and was excited to try it out.
My husband and I arrived before our friends and before our table was ready (we had a reservation), so we headed to the bar to get some drinks They have this bar that you can sit at that's actually across from the real bar. I assumed that we would have to go stand at the bar to order our drinks, but someone came to us with menus and served us from there. It seems minor, but it was a nice touch.
Once our friends arrived and our table was ready, we were seated. Our table was upstairs. I love the atmosphere inside! It's very unique and interesting.
We ordered some bread for the table. The sourdough was delicious, as were the dipping sauces they provided. I ordered the mac n cheese as well as their seasonal salad (which was a potato salad) for my entree. I am a vegetarian and they didn't have a ton of options, but I have to say that what I did order was awesome. I was uneasy about the potato salad because I don't love mayo and was envisioning typical American potato salad, but this was very different. I don't think there was any mayo in it. It was awesome. And the mac n cheese was great - I loved all the breading on top. It was also extremely filling - I was only able to eat about half.
I knocked off a star for a few reasons: one, I wish they had more veggie options. I know that it's literally called "butcher in the rye", but still. Would have been nice. Also, we were seated upstairs and it was HOT. It was a hot day outside and it seemed like the AC didn't push upstairs. And lastly, the lounge style seating up there is cool, but a little uncomfortable. There's no back support, which can get uncomfortable after a long meal.
All in all, I loved it and will definitely return.
