Popped in for a late lunch constituting of an Alsatian onion tart and a glass of wine. I stopped by during happy hour, which meant the tart was $7 (orig. $9), and $2 off glasses of wine. Bartender Jimmy was kind enough to give me samples of two reds and a rose, before I decided on a Riesling, instead. Enjoyed the generous pour, which was later added to when Jimmy accidently knocked the decanter down when we shook hands :) The tart came out a little burnt, and the gruyere was replaced with a milder "fromage blanc," but overall, it still made for a very tasty lunch/dinner! Photos will prove that I ate at least 5.5 slices. Read my lips: I ATE THE WHOLE THING.
Happy hour apps menu include onion soup gratin, country pate, escargots, onion tart, and a frisee salad for about $2 less than standard menu. $5 IPAs, $3 off wine cocktails (reg. $10), and $2 off glasses of wine. (I'm sure there are discounts on drafts and bottles, too, but since I'm not a beer-drinker, I didn't make a special note of this.) I hope more food will be added to the menu. Sad news: the toffee sticky pudding has been omitted from the current menu, with no hope of it coming back again. (Strange that, since Jimmy said it was a very popular dessert.) The crowd this Monday afternoon was very thin (4:00'ish)- a couple of tables outside, and me at the bar. A man sat at a table behind me waiting for his date, and another man who recently relocated from San Fran sat a couple of seats from me later on. Looks like a decent wine list. Another HH special- a complimentary cheese plate ($18 value) accompanies each bottle of wine ordered (prices range from $30 and up)!
