| - We have been to the sister restaurant of this one, HoneySalt, and loved it.
This place, however, is even better. A bit less pretentious, with a more down to Earth menu, it has more of a tavern and bar feel, as the name states.
Happy hour specials were awesome. We tried the "butcher style" wings in Sriracha flavor. YUM. They were perfect, tender, juicy, and awesome.
For dinner, I had the "fish fry" which was just fish and chips. It was the highest quality of fish I have ever had in fish and chips, undoubtedly. The batter was light and flaky, just perfect. The dish came with a salt shaker full of malt vinegar flakes. They were the coolest thing, ever. You got to add a vinegar taste to your fish and fries, without making them soggy. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.
My husband had the ribs. The first half of the rack he commented that he had eaten better ribs at Chilis. The second half-rack, however, he devoured, without even wanting a second bite of my fish. I guess there wasn't much consistency on the evenness of the ribs. He was a little let down. His meal came with a cheddar bacon biscuit that was as good as those addictive little cheese biscuits we hate to admit we love from Red Lobster, with a more sophisticated taste, and of course, bacon.
Service was impeccable.
Four stars due to the rib inconsistencies.
Also, they don't have a Brookie, like their sister HoneySalt. We were letdown by only three items on the dessert menu. There wasn't much for chocolate or ice cream lovers.
