| - I have been to Deagan's a couple of times and each time, it's been really good.
The service is top-notch, and the waitresses are consistently on the ball. Although, once or twice, the hostesses seemed a little confused. I said I was meeting a couple of the guys there, so she walked me over to a table with a retired couple and asked, "Are these your friends?" I politely said, "no," and saddled up to the bar. When one of my friends showed up, she did the same thing...took him to the same table. Really strange. I can't imagine what this couple was thinking either!
The bar is great! The bartenders are very knowledgeable, even on some old-school drinks...stuff like my grandparents used to drink, like Harvey Wallbanger, Rusty Nail and Rob Roy...this older couple at the bar kept ordering them and the bartender kept knocking them out like she'd been making them since the '40's. The selection of beer is tremendous, as is the liquor.
The food is very good. I've been there for Taco Tuesday, which is crowded, but worth it. The standard are beef, chicken, tuna and a vegetarian taco. Additionally, there are weekly special tacos. Definitely get the beef and tuna tacos, but you must try at least one of the specials. The Duck Confit taco has been my favorite so far.
From the "Apps" side of the menu, the Deviled Eggs are very tasty...nice creamy yolk mixed with goat cheese and what I think is Coleman's English mustard, which give them a nice spicy zing. The Day Oysters are also very good. Fresh, sweet, and salty, with a delicious choice of champagne mignonette and chili cocktail sauce.
On the dinner menu, I love the Hanger Steak Frites. Really, a classic French-style with perfectly cooked fries, and a side of house-made steak sauces. I'm not really a "sauce guy" and this beautiful piece of meat certainly doesn't need it. Cooked perfectly medium-rare...I'm actually dreaming about it right now...
Additionally, they have a really good selection of charcuterie, wine and cheese boards...at last count, 6 kinds of cheese, and 5 types of meat to pair with your beer or wine of choice. But, why screw around...go right to the bottom and get "THE BIG BOARD!" (Be sure to yell it, too...just like George C. Scott in "Dr. Strangelove"...I'm sure the staff isn't sick of that one!) "THE BIG BOARD" is a selection of all of the meats and cheeses, with assorted crackers, fresh and dried fruits, nuts, olives, pickles, etc...It's great for just sitting at the bar, sipping a beer or cocktail and leisurely grazing.
Keep up the great work, Deagan's! Bravo!
