| - Ok. Now let's not fool ourselves. This is the bar to the Grand Concourse. Same kitchen. Same management. Same awesomeness. Now as for the menu differences.
When dining in the bar one can order from the Grand Concourse menu and Gandy Dancer menu, which in my opinion makes this the best place to eat. That combined with the ridiculously inexpensive happy hour prices just makes it an excellent spot to grab a bite. (Now keep in mind, when dining in the Grand Concourse, you can't order from the Gandy Dancer menu)
What to order... So many options, where to begin-
I'll start w Happy Hour bites. Yes, say yes to them. They're priced at a few dollars each and great for ordering a bunch with a group. I'm partial to the steamed dumplings. Yummy & inexpensive.
The bar menu. What I love about the bar menu is that it's fantastic to show up and order a hearty meal to warm you up in the cold months or a crisp light flavorful meal to refresh one in the summer.
To begin. The pasta is awesome. Made in house. My personal favorite is the artichoke, shrimp, and angel hair in a light tomato base. It seems to be close to or the same item that disappeared from the Grand Concourse menu.
The pasta menu is great. So many options. Light sauces, hearty sauces, spicy, tortellini, so many choices.
My second favorite pasta dishes are a tie between the Cajon Chicken Tortellini and the Shrimp Fettuccine Verde. The Cajon Chicken Tortellini is served in a cream sauce with mushrooms. (And I say I hate mushrooms) It is really a fantastic mix of the right amount of Cajon mixed with the cream mushroom sauce and chicken & tortellini. A fantastic dance of spice and everything perfectly hits your taste buds
Fettuccine is a very traditional dish that I typically am not a huge fan of. The Shrimp Fettuccini Verde is a Spinach fettuccine with goat cheese in a cream tomato sauce. It's different in a really good way that you must like goat cheese to enjoy.
I also love the Shrimp & Crab Salad. The crab is Lump Crab. I have it with tomatoes & cucumbers. It's a Greek style vinaigrette. Delicious. Great in the summer.
The Gandy House Salad is also very crisp & delicious. I order is customized without onion or pepperancini. It comes w fresh & sundries tomatoes along with cucumber in a vinaigrette. Another great start to a meal.
The bread served with dinner is delicious. Same as the Grand Concourse's. I hate salmon pate. It's a personal choice but my kid loves it. The bar tabled area is very kid friendly. We've taken Mr. Toddler since he was an nugget and they've always accommodated his needs. His favorite item at both locations is their pate. (It's also served during the Sunday Brunch.)
My family loves the oysters. Again, another thing I don't care for. They adore the Grand Concourse & Gandy Dancers Selection. They're the same. I personally don't consume anything from their raw bar other than shrimp so I cant comment specifically on items. The family seems to love it. That's what I know.
The one item that my husband ordered and didn't love was the sirloin steak. He said he wouldn't get it again. He said it was good but just not what he typically would order.
