| - ***Okay...FIRST off, let me just say that this rating is based on the food and atmosphere alone, because I am NOT a beer girl. If I was, I'd probably dig it, because they have a very...VERY extensive selection.
We decided to have dinner here after I had a long hard day at work. I almost wish I had chosen another place just because it was soooo loud due to the lack of walls or sound buffers of any kind. This place is small, but they still pack in the people, and it was just a bit too much.
When we arrived, the hostess told us that they were having plumbing problems, and it would be about a half hour until we could order food. We decided to stick to the game plan and sat at a table. The waitress came to get our drink order and said "Well, it could be a half hour, or an hour...who knows. Hopefully they're fixing it." Now, when you're hungry, there is a big difference between a half hour and a hour or "who knows". She did say that they could make frites, however. We decided to order those as a starter, but before we could even do so, she said that everything was fixed and the kitchen was open. YAY.
We still went for the frites to split, because we know they're known for them. I'm not sure what I was expecting on the menu...but nothing looked amazing to me(except the Moules et Frites) so I decided to go low-cost and went with the Avocado BLT, subbing the chipotle-lime aioli for the regular mayo that it usually has. The sides were succotash, chilled red pepper soup, or potato leek soup. I love leeks, so I chose the latter.
The sandwich was okay, but nothing amazing--but a BLT is pretty much just that, unless it totally sucks.. Same for the soup. It was almost too thick. The frites were decent, and I liked the beet aioli that came on the side. Again, it was just so-so in a town with so many dining establishments that so-so doesn't do much for me.
I don't know if I'd ever go out of my way to dine here, but it was decent.
