OMG.
Straight up decadent.
Not a steal, but my god, if you want good food and have the calories and money to spare, come here. I would rather live like an ascetic monk the rest of the year than not experience some of the amazing, fatty, salty, cheesy delicacies served at Butcher and Brewer.
I can't lie -- I'm from out of town, and I was not psyched for the Cleveland food scene. Butcher and Brewer delivered me from that misconception. I had stuffed shishito peppers, chorizo tacos, and the bacon pork belly breakfast thing (name long forgotten in favor of the memory of the taste on my tongue). The pork belly on toast with egg was by far my favorite; an absolute bliss. The tacos were filled with chorizo. The peppers were a good filler -- not stuffing but enough to pass the time. Also wonderful.
One of my great fears about any tapas restaurant is that it will not be enough food. Here I had no problem at all -- a very good dinner of multiple dishes for two people also ordering a drink each came to around $60.
I had ordered a dessert, but you saw my list of foods -- and our waitress was kind enough to return the dessert. I would probably have died if I had eaten it. I wanted it.
Till next time...
