We were inexplicably out at Avon Commons this afternoon, and in dire need of sustenance decided to make the quick trip over to Bar Symon for a late lunch.
We walked in at the perfect time just as Dinner was starting and the place was mostly empty aside from a few tables and the bar area. We were promptly seated at a comfy booth and began to peruse the menu.
The House chips appetizer was ok, but the real star of that show is the beer-cheese fondue the chips are served with. A little more of both would have been welcome.
As I write this, I must confess that I didn't want to brush my teeth so that the lingering flavor of the Michael's Glory sandwich could stick around my mouth a little longer. Beef Tongue, Pierogi, Horseradish and "marrownaise" on grilled bread with a side of fried Brussels Sprouts. It was heavenly. Gf really enjoyed her Lola burger as well.
An increasingly fussy baby (ours) and a couple of full bellies (also ours) kept us away from the dessert menu, but I hope we'll be back soon.
Overall it was a very pleasant experience, and I am really glad that Chef Symon is diversifying his restaurant portfolio to include some moderately priced options. Food this good for this reasonable of a price is a wonderful thing to have in our supposedly miserable city and its adjacents.
