I was extremely pleasantly surprised by Black Hoof. I was expecting a good meal--I didn't expect great. We had a cheese platter, pickles, bread, asparagus and morels and pork carnitas tacos. Everything was great--the cheese platter in particular came with an awesome set of sides. I always expect to be disappointed by cheese platters as they're invariably price for small portions of cheese. Not so here. Their pickles are delicious and varied. The tacos, though, made me wish I could eat about seven. Juicy, crispy pork bits will live in my dreams. The veggies were well done as well though I wasn't an enormous fan of the gribiche sauce. It wasn't bad, just not to my taste.
Take a look at the menu before you go--the very unusual cuts that permeate the menu make it a no-no for boring eaters and vegetarians. Though the house-made bread kept my veg sister happy!
