| - Let me describe my last experience at this place. I went here with my friends who were visiting from out of town. They seated us on the patio next to the smoker. We choked on smoke. The waiter seemed off kilter somehow, as if he was high. His smile was a little scary, as was the way he'd sidle up to us from behind the bushes, literally standing on the sidewalk. They moved us indoors when we complained about the smoker, where my friends complained of the sweltering heat (no air conditioning).
The experience was rather comical really. My friends were wondering why in the world I would have taken them to this joint. Then they served us the food. You could see the look in their eyes. The delight. The surprise. The food is good. Shockingly good.
As noted, this place has its own smoker, which they use to smoke all their own bacon in-house. They excel in charcuterie fare, along with meats, from roast chicken to steak to braised cheeks and foie gras. Flavour abounds. All is home made and the chef plainly cares about his food. The menu does change, so what you get does vary from time to time.
It's all just fantastic, down to earth food. The menu isn't large, but what they do they do amazingly well. Just try not to sit next to the smoker.
