| - I came here for dinner with a friend the other day, and it was our first time at Nighttown, despite living nearby for the past few years. Sadly, we did not make it on a night when music was playing, so I can't comment on that aspect of the place. Food wise, we got some calamari for an appetizer, I had the Kurobuta pork shank, and we split a flourless chocolate torte for dessert. The appetizer and dessert were decent quality, though the cake was perhaps a little dry and I've certainly had better. The Pork dish was a large shank nestled on top of some butter nut squash and brussel sprouts. It quite good, well seasoned with tender meat, though I may have preferred some additional vegetables to balance out the large portion of meat. The food is quite pricey, which is probably the biggest issue I have with the restaurant. The staff were friendly and timely, and the ambience was ok, though not particularly classy/stylish, more like a nice pub of sorts. I can see how having some live music would create a pleasant atmosphere, so perhaps if I return on a night with music, it would be a better time to reevaluate the atmosphere there. Overall, it was a fair dining experience, though a bit on the expensive side for the quality. As other people have mentioned, it might be a better experience to come to enjoy the music and take advantage of the various bar specials that exist, which seem to be priced well.
