| - I was bound to love Meat & Potatoes, due mostly to my unstoppable love of both meat and potatoes. Beyond that, the spot is a great place for drinks, brunch, or dinner.
Every time I visit, I am floored by how fairly the place is priced. Sure, you can go with a $50 steak, but there are also reasonably priced delicious burgers, tacos, or a breakfast sandwich at brunch. There's an adventurous element to the menu (I ate fried chicken livers last meal there!) dressed down as comfortable pub fare. One of the most popular menu items is the bone marrow.
The decor is hip and fun, but when I go I don't feel like I need to starve myself the next few days to make up for breaking the bank. The place is always packed, don't plan on going there before a show if you don't have a reservation. Actually, just don't plan on going unless you have a reservation--I went on a Monday at 8:30pm and it was still crowded.
So why not 5/5 stars? Every time I've visited Meat & Potatoes, I've had some issue at the hostess station. They consistently seat you at least 15 minutes late for reservations, and they tried to seat me outside last November (which would've been perfect had I been trying to catch pneumonia). I wouldn't downgrade if this was a single occurrence, but every time I go, there is some sort of confusion upfront. Midway through my meal, I almost always forget because the food is so delicious.
