| - I'm offering up a three star rating for this one. First, in the nature of indeed judging a book by it's cover, I do love the name. It conjures up all kinds of silly images in my head that make me want to cartoon on the dining napkins. Excellent. Secondly, I enjoyed the decor. Striped banquet tables with seating to accommodate both small and large parties, paired with shiny, yet understated industrial lighting made for an appropriate venue. There is a large dark wood bar in the back, if that scene is more your thing. Service was quick and efficient, if not a bit sharp. But, how was the food, you ask?
Well, the food, was, along with the cool name, 3 stars. I sampled a white off of a tidy, easy wine list, alongside the caesar to start. Lots of parm cheese. Next, came the scallop cassoulet, in which, referencing the menu now, seems to be an amendment. This dish usually has duck confit, but I'll accept the substitution as appropriate. The scallops were well cooked, and found nestled within a mix of white beans, sausage, and a tomato base. It was alright, however, forgettable. I had to think about it now, even after having dined there just last night. Too much wine, maybe, Tracy? Is that what happened? No. Not this time.
Seeing as I was there over this past holiday weekend, many menu items were unavailable on the holiday Monday, which is understandable. Include was the lobster Cobb salad that had me all geared up to eat here. All is forgiven, here, provided said salad delivers on my next visit.
