| - We walked in here without a reservation on a Saturday night and ate at the bar. I am super late on the Honey Salt bandwagon. So much so that I might as well be writing a review on this cool new show called "Breaking Bad". I mean, the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich has similar qualities to meth...so I've heard anyways.
The creamless corn soup intrigued my wife the most and she loved it. The charred kernels and arugula oil was kind of a shock at initial taste but it grew on her quickly and she already plans to order it the next time we're there.
I got "My Wife's Favorite Salad" consisting of duck confit, arugula, frisée, pine nuts, roasted bing cherries, and a farm fresh poached egg. This was terrific and I only wished there was even more duck but I am sure everyone feels that way. I thought the mix of flavors were really good.
We split the Colorado Lamb porterhouse for the entree. It came with bacon sofrito, pea tendrils, roasted fingerling potatoes, and balsamic reduction. I'd never had lamb prepared this way and thought it was quite creative. The lamb was a little more done than I wanted it to be but it was still juicy. Like all good porterhouses, I found myself gnawing on the bone with my bare hands at the end.
Our super friendly (and fellow Red Sox fan from Andover, MA) bartender lightly twisted our arm into getting "The Brookie" for dessert which the menu describes "chocolate chip cookie meets chocolate fudge brownie, with vanilla bean ice cream". You should definitely try this if you like but are really tired of chocolate lava cake. I feel so jaded typing that last sentence.
Overall it was great. What's not to like about this spot?
