| - Happy Hour on a Saturday afternoon? Heck, I'm in! Went with a girlfriend of mine this past Saturday and was very impressed. First off, the decor. Wow. Gorgeous. I felt like I was in an episode of "Mad Men". Big center bar, dark moody lighting, and opulent chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Gorgeous.
Now, the food. We just did the Happy hour thing, and it was awesome. We had the Swedish meatballs, which were the perfect balance of sweet and creamy, the chicken lollipops, which I almost had to stop myself from licking the blue cheese from the plate (you can't go wrong with buffalo sauce and blue cheese, its like peanut butter and jelly, meant to be). The chicken had tons of meat on it, which was impressive. I love deviled eggs, they remind me of picnics, and their deviled eggs were amazing, with caviar on top, which wasn't too salty. The icing on the cake were the scallops, just amazing, I think they were grilled, and I love when scallops have that great crunch on the outside, and are buttery and soft on the inside.
My favorite part, they serve Pimms! Which, from what I know when I was in London, their version of like a Mike's Hard Lemonade, a summer drink. Its citrussy and fizzy and amazing. They serve them in adorable little tin cups.
Great place, great service. Great happy hour. I want to hit it up later at night next time. Maybe wear a cocktail dress, so I can feel very "Mad Men".
Enjoy!
