How has this place been open for two years and I haven't been there yet! There was honestly not one bad thing about this visit. From the amazingly interesting and tasty drinks to the perfectly plated duck, I really need to go back - now.
Our trip there was my birthday lunch and since I was not going back to work, bring on the drinks. I started with the glenshaw sour and was a bit disturbed by the egg whites that it contained, but all of my fears were alleviated with that first frothy lemony sip. I followed that up with a brandy buck - how many birthday lunches does a person get? Applejack brandy and pungent ginger were a perfect combination.
M had the thai steak salad that was piled high with thin strips of skirt steak. It looked amazing. J had the mussels. It might have been the biggest pile of mussels I have ever seen - and we eat a lot of mussels. The pancetta in the sauce definitely differentiated these mussels from others around town. I had the duck. Perfectly medium rare duck slices over spaetzle with massive saurkraut pierogies. I was in heaven.
We finished it off with some of the creamist creme brulee I have ever had.
Awesome birthday lunch. Can't wait to go back for brunch, dinner, more lunch, drinks....
