  • I wonder if I am just being negative tonight? Oh, well, on with the review... When we were first seated, we were served water in tall skinny glasses & seasoned popcorn in tiny buckets, very cute & unique. We ordered 6 items and shared: Singapore Greens & Nutty Popeye (salads), Hodgepodge (a tower of fried treats), Diablo Eggs, Elote (a corn on the cob dish that I didn't try), and Smokey Poke. Menu Link: http://www.noshandswig.com/nosh%20and%20swig%20menu.pdf The salads were served in mason jars with the dressing on the side. The jars are so you can shake the salad with dressing; clever. Both were tasty though the Singapore Greens need a protein to round out the flavor profile, IMO. The Hodgepodge consisted of pomme frites, tempura sweet potato, truffle tots, & onion rings. I liked the truffle tots, but a little overboard on the truffle oil & salt. The presentation is a twisted & tiered tower; I posted a picture The Diablo Egss are deviled eggs (obviously), pretty regular, a little on the salty side; there is a recurring theme, appearing here. The elote was grilled corn in garlic butter with cayenne & topped with cilantro pesto. I didn't try, sorry. Finally the Smokey Poke; little ahi tuna blocks in citrus ponzu, garnished with norichips & some type of fried squash or potato slices. Great presentation & flavor, but SALTY... Ok, I broke down our food, now for service. It was feast or famine: repeat visits in a short period of time or no one for many tens of minutes. They were trying hard, I could tell, but they didn't appear to have any type of "table visit rotation" procedure. The waitstaff was friendly, regardless. Finally, ambiance. There were cute touches, like the sign for the bathrooms was a street sign called "Flushing Avenue", clever. Decorations were sparse and the feel, to me, was that of a hipster automat. I didn't mind it, but it also doesn't stand out. I am hoping that all these issues are due to its relative age. I will definitely try here again though it is FAR from my regular stomping grounds. Great ideas & concepts, but spotty execution is my overall impression. Oh, yeah, and salt.
