| - That'll do, Pig. That'll do.
The Black Pig is, very simply, good. Their waitstaff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and beer lists. The cocktails arrived promptly to the table, and our server Siri was more than eager to please.
The Sticky Pig ($10) is a bourbon dream, with crushed peaches and mint melding with some strong alcohol. Their cider list was lacking (a bottle of Griffin for $11!), but the beer selection was acceptable.
I had the bahn mi ($12), a pretty close tribute to the Vietnamese sandwich. The pork belly was tender, and the pates were nice. Served with some nice, salty fries, it was a great meal. The veggie bahn mi, Black Pig burger, and kale Caesar salad received similarly pleasing reviews.
The Black Pig is good, but it could be better. The venue has wonderful character with brick archways and high ceilings, but it isn't being utilized. The food was lovely, but I'd love to see what they could do to make the Pig stand out from every other restaurant on W. 25th. I'll certainly be back to try it again.
