Wifey wanted to go for drinks and appetizers. Found The Wild Goose, but due to a fund raiser this weekend, they were packed and loud so we walked across the street to Hook & Hoof. We were so glad we did. Fantastic. I'm afraid it's her new favorite. She started with the Fisherman's Seafood Chowder. Only let me try a little piece of bread dunked in it. I had Smoked Clams and Mussels. The bits of bacon at the bottom of the bowl were and added treat. Definitely the best clams & mussels I've had in a while. For 2nd appetizer she had the Special of the evening Beef TarTar and I had the Beef Cheek. Toast. Both killer!! They have only been open for 3 months but by hearing conversations at the bar there have/are a number of repeat customers in attendance.
