| - You gotta love places like Park on Fremont because of what they are trying to do: Revamp an area and make cool what once was not so cool. I have to give them mad respect, just for that fact.
Owned by the same folks who own Commonwealth, this nifty little place has all the right elements to make it stand out as a contender amongst the other places popping up Downtown. They have not been open very long, so they might get more stars later on in an update if things change. But as it sits right now, I would have to say, "come for the patio, stay for the unique beer choices."
The front and back patios are both great, but each one has a different vibe. The back is more chill, bigger and prettier. There is a smoking area with a see-saw and cool plants and flowers all over the place. It's a nice little reprieve from the craziness of Fremont St.
Ambiance inside is really cool, with a trendy and artsy sort of vibe. The front patio is louder, there are more people milling about, and you get to watch all the "Fremont Freaks and Geeks" wave their crazy flag proudly! I'm not hatin', I'm one of them!
The beer list is pretty extensive for a smaller place like this. They have everything from Coors and Mickey's Malt Liquor, to Young's Double Chocolate Stout and Lost Coast Sacramento Blonde. Honestly, you almost start wishing they sold beer flights so you could try a little bit of everything.
There is a cool "beer and a shot" combo option on the drink menu, which always seems like a fun concept, if you are in to that sort of thing.
One element I have not been so enthralled with is the food. The Sweet Potato Teeter Tots are really funky, but in a good way! The sweet mustard dipping sauce they include with 'em really adds that extra "yum" factor.
But a few of the dishes I have tried were just sorta ok. The first time I visited, I tried to order the Grilled Cheese on Brioche, which sounded to die for. It was 86'ed, which was fine, because it was their grand opening week and they had just had their soft open right before, so they had run out of a bunch of things. Not a big deal. I'll get it next time :)
Instead, I tried the Philly Mac and Cheese Steak, which was pretty tasty.
But the second time I visited, I was sad to see that they had taken that grilled cheese off entirely!! Sad, sad day. So I chose the Veggie Wrap, which came in a tortilla-type of casing.
It was just "Eh." Kinda greasy, which sometimes is good, but not in this case. Not enough melted cheese, and not enough feta crumbles. Plus, the veggies were kinda wet.... Overall, it's been a little hit-and-miss with the food here. I'm confident it will more likely than not get better over time. Maybe I'm just being picky, or perhaps I have ordered the wrong things. Only time and more visits will tell.
But still come here! Sit at the patio! Especially out front. If you are a lady, you will get a couple creepy homeless dudes mackin' on you. Be prepared. And don't keep your phone or wallet on the side of the table closest to the fence, because someone could just run by and grab it. The nice thing is they do have a security guy standing by the front, just in case.
