| - Came in for my second visit. Vegetarian day today. I ordered the house gyoza and roasted veg. Then my yelp check-in offered me a free chef inspired small bite. I'm excited to see what it is.
I asked the bartender for something similar to a Mich ultra and he suggested a dark beer. I found that funny. The second bartender stepped in, offered me two samples and I picked one of her suggestions.
Both bartenders actively made small talk with the two people at the bar, so that was nice!
The roasted veg was fantastic! Even the pearl onions, and I'm not an onion fan! Beautiful to look at, and a cut above the more mundane roasted veg I've seen in other venues.
The gyoza was tasty, the sauce nicely acidic, the cabbage in the bowl crisp. The dish wasn't very hot, but I was satisfied with that.
I thought the chef inspired was going to be something of menu, but by complete coincidence it was the gyozai ordered! So rather than get a surprise small bite, I got a cheaper bill. $11 for my veg, my app, and my beer! It would have been $22 without the yelp discount! Go yelp!
The second bartender, a recent relocation from Tucson was charming throughout.
For a fun and tasty small bite, this is a definite good pre bar stop! I'll be moving it up on my oldtown rotation.
