| - I feel a strong sense of deja vu since I swear I've reviewed Hanny's before. Alas, I have not.
I've been here several times since last year. I love the design of this department store turned restaurant. And the basement! The creepy dolls are so awesome. Once I got behind the gate and got a picture with the dolls... totally got caught trespassing but oh well. Worth it. The vibe is very hip and trendy, definitely a great place to impress a date.
Onto the food-I don't really eat meat so my options are limited. Every time I actually eat there though, I'm all over the Cauliflower Calabrese. It's on the appetizer menu, but I always order it as my entree. It's a spicy veggie mix of cauliflower, peppers and onion strings. So. Damn. Delicious. I've had the bruschetta, and it totally wasn't what I expected it to be since it's more of a tampenade with bread. I also had a veggie sandwich there once that was pretty tasty, I'd still pick the cauliflower dish over it any day though. I look forward to the day where more veggie or fish options are available, take note Hanny's!
Drink-wise, I usually order the Moscow Mule. Do NOT order it from the upstairs bar, they don't serve it in the copper mugs and trust that it is not the same. I also like ordering Jameson with a splash of ginger ale. The bartenders know what they're doing and make stiff drinks (at least in my experience).
As far as service is concerned, it's alright. I wouldn't say it's the greatest. I'm pretty patient though because when I go, it's normally super packed. I prefer to sit at the bar where the bartenders are more attentive & quicker.
All in all, this is a super cool lounge to hang out with and have dinner with some friends, or just a few drinks. You have my heart Hanny's.
