5 stars after one visit? You betchya!
Lovely space. Clean and open.
The drink menu. Oh that drink menu. I made a dent but will continue to work my way down that list. The saying "each one better than the last" is woefully inadequate. Each one is AMAZING. Really! These cocktails are creative and beautifully crafted.
That should be the theme of this spot.
Food and drinks alike.
Creative and beautifully crafted.
That says it all.
The food was equally impressive, if not more so. Tonight I had the roasted bone marrow starter. Savory, gelatinous. With a duck bacon than cave such a wonderful spice on some toasted bread. And a lovely arugula salad that was tangy and provided a wonderful contrast to the fatty marrow.
Also had the quail. Really great. Crispy but not over cooked or died out.
Oh. And it came with smoked whiskey butter.
Yeah, read that again: Smoked. Whiskey. Butter.
That, thanks to The Local, is now a thing that exists outside of your dreams.
