| - Before I go out I always "yelp it". When I was asked to go the District I did just that, and was surprised by so many good reviews. Reading the few bad ones it came to me that these people are big box haters like myself. So, I had it in my mind this was going to be another overpriced hotel restaurant.
But, here I am ready to tell you that the hype is true! This place was really good. Really. We came in with out a reservation and it was busy. After a short wait we sat. My first impression was this was a fine dining type deal, but turns out it is pretty casual.
Drink menu first. Impressive beer list on draft all for $3.75! I remember reading reviews of this place being expensive? Where were these people going? My friend ordered a drink special (who has those?!) some kind of delicious infused rum elixir. The sangria was pretty good too. And the beer, yay!!!
The menu was pretty straight forward. All of it sounded pretty yummy, and no words that we didn't understand. We ordered some starters: Po' boy sliders, baked cheese, duck quesadilla and sweet potato tots. Don't know which my favorite was that's how good they all were! Most interesting was the quesadilla served with apple butter. I had the lobster pirogi, awesome! My friends had the bbq'd pork, salmon and blackened halibut. All you heard was ooo's, ah's and mmm's.
If you have been hearing the buzz about downtown and want to check it for yourself go to District. It is easily the best I've tried. I'm going back in for lunch this week!
Oh, and free valet! Thats right free....
