You need to partake of this establishment's culinary delights. Our night here reassured me it is not hype.
We started out at the bar, whereupon a dapper fellow with a moustache asked what we would like to drink whilst we waited. Some might call the facial hair "hipster", I think it speaks to an adventurous spirit and dedication to craft. This was borne out when I asked him if he could create a custom concoction. Bourbon, egg whites...to die for.
The house-made infused gin also blew our skirts up!
The bagna caudal looked like art and rivalled my friend's Italian Nonna's. The tater tots were pleasantly high-brow tasting. After stuffing ourselves with starters we ordered the fried chicken & beignets and a salad.
The salad was quite good. The chicken and beignets were on another level. Our table became oddly quiet once that dish arrived, except for some meows and snarfing noises.
I'll be back.
