| - My girlfriend and I are friends with another couple who are possibly alternate timeline versions of us, or perhaps they are distant relatives of our distant relatives of our distant relatives (perhaps making them close relatives again). Let's call them "Barry" and "Capy." They often say and do things from which I can grok no earthly understanding. They're capybaras, not that it matters. I hope it's not condescending when I describe them as 'adorable in their wild innocence.' I'm quite fond of them, don't get me wrong.
They've been quite upset with the turmoil across the nation (understandably so, them being capybaras), so they needed a breather. They suggested we do something for Madison Restaurant week and we happily obliged.
I suggested we try Everly, because I like the font of their logo. What a nice font! In preparation for our meal, "Barry" brought over a board game and we all played ("Capy" and him are quite competitive) while I bombarded them Everly Brothers music. I enjoy the tunes and I couldn't get the word 'Everly' out of my head for some reason. Sometimes a word gets stuck in my head and I cannot shake it loose. Like 'capybara' for example.
I'm not sure if this is indicative of their normal menu but a lot of options could be prepared gluten free which was nice for my girlfriend. Our friends didn't care, they're cuisine agnostic. Anyway, here's how dinner went down.
Cocktails: I ordered the Golden State, a take on a gin and tonic with a rosemary sprig. Refreshing as hell, probably one of the best G&T's I've ever had. My girlfriend ordered a Bartender's Secret Handshake, it was very Fernet forward which is not necessarily a bad thing, but I feel it was unbalanced. Our companions opted to bring their own water bowl from home and drank hungrily from it while we waited for food, splashing the floor on occasion. Our waitress was kind and accommodating; she mentioned that her cousin is a capybara.
Starter: Roasted Cauliflower. I wish I could have had 2 pounds of this. It was grilled and tossed in vinegar of some sort. Whatever it was, it was meaty and fragrant and delicious. Our hairy friends seem to enjoy theirs as well, though they both excused themselves abruptly. I thought something had unsettled their stomachs, but I think they just went to the bathroom together to have a capybara make out session.
Main: Grits and Pork Shoulder. I keep trying grits, and maybe one day I will like them. One time I ordered jerk chicken at the Great Dane and in that moment I realized that I hated jerk chicken. So, I asked our waitress for a bun and some BBQ sauce and I turned it into an awesome BBQ chicken sandwich. Maybe I should have pulled that crap again here. "Barry" had a bolognese that I had a bite of and enjoyed. Intense flavor of carrots. My girlfriend and "Capy" both got something with farro, I forget what it was, and didn't ask for a second taste.
Dessert: Chocolate Mousse. Extremely sweet, I devoured it while my teeth screamed.
Overall, very focused and delicious food at affordable prices. I will definitely come again and try the standard menu. To cap off the night, we took a stroll by the lake and our friends growled at some squirrels.
