| - I might be biased a bit because I love board games, but I had a blast at Colonel Moutarde.
As soon as we sat down, the owner came to us and explained the concept of the "restaurant": He is a bartender who loves board games and somehow could only obtain a permit to open a "restaurant." So basically, he decreased our expectations for the food. The menu changes once every few weeks, but when I was there, the menu was pretty ordinary: pizza, sandwiches, burgers, mac&cheese, and pretty much everything comes with a special salad. The plates are also made long and thin, so that you have space to play games while eating. I got the pulled pork burger, which came with chips and a special salad with nuts. I also tasted the mac & cheese with chorizo. Would recommend the mac & cheese more: very rich and flavourful, and a generous portion. Throughout the night, as we played board games, we also got desserts. We tried the s'mores and the oven baked cookies with milk. COOKIES FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN. AND MILK. Nuff said.
The drinks are very special indeed, with most ingredients local or homemade. There are fewer games than Randolph, but more than a good selection. Plus, there is no mandatory consumption every hour. You have to order a meal, but after that, you can stay the whole night. They also have a game master who explains the rules to the games pretty well. Overall would highly recommend!
