I finally made it here. Always heard good things about The Fairmount so was happy when I decided to finally try this place for a dinner.
Place was empty on a Tuesday night. Pretty relaxed atmosphere and not pretentious like some cocktail bars. For people who prefer beer (like myself), they have a good draft list of about 10 craft brews, all of which aren't very common in the area. I ordered the Pilgrim pale ale from Madtree Brewing along with the Brisket Bahn Mi.
The Bahn Mi came with an epically sized egg roll and a few sauces - a soy sauce type thing + a sun dried tomato cream cheese that knocked it out the park. The meat in the bahn mi was tasty, but was disappointed with the bread. It was overcooked, overly crunchy and not a reliably sturdy vessel to commandeer the meat into my mouth. Disappointed with the main entree. However, the egg roll was tasty and well cooked - did not feel overly gross or oily like generic asian restaurants.
Maybe it was just a bad bread day! The rest of the menu had potential, service was nice and I liked the atmosphere. Will give The Fairmount another chance!
