| - Went here the other night with a friend visiting from out of town. Barque was busy, so we got a table in this restaurant that had a relaxed atmosphere. lots of glossy rustic wood.
Food: After reading glowing reviews about the ribs and wings. A friend and I both got the Brisket Sandwich au jus. Nothing spectacular about the meat. The jus tasted like a ramekin of canola oil. Alongside the sandwich was some spiced fries which were a great portion and well cooked, but unfortunately the bbq spice was super overly sugary, they tasted like dessert fries.
As to be expected, the California vegetarian sandwich, is total afterthought. Avacado, sprouts tomato and mayo on white bread. Just sandwich ingredients. There are a number of vegetarian ingredients that could be bbq'd: Haloomi, grilled veggies, mushrooms, tofu steak. Look, I get that it's a bbq place, but try to understand that vegetarians might also be dining in their establishment. It is just totally lazy.
There should be a Bechdel test for restaurants and their vegetarian options. this one wouldn't pass.
If you're looking to eat on Roncesvalles and want ribs, sounds like this is your place. If you're looking for a sandwich, go to La Cubana.
