| - Really nice new spot on east 4th, might become my new favorite if they had a happy hour or cheaper food options. It might become it anyways
The beer: I had the milk stout which was spot on if not unique. It was rich, smooth, and flavorful. The framboyzee was a tasteful play on framboise, but much more beer like and not overly sweet, a raspberry wheat beer. I highly recommend it to those who like girly beers or manly men open to new flavors. And the hip hop boom ipa was nicely balanced. Definitely trying more, everything was good!
The food: Everything is pricey or small, but exquisite! I like how most everything is sharable (I always want to try everything) and good on top of that. The smoke lamb ribs with a chimichurry and pineapple cilantro topping was amazing, the shucked oysters were surprisingly edible given my distaste for snot textured foods, and the tempura asparagus was good before we let it get cold, but was a little on the bland side. But the sea bass? Oh my Lord the sea bass! It was amazing. One of the best dishes I've had recently and the best bass or any other white fish I've ever eaten! Get it, Get it now.
The decor: At first I thought it was a bit cheesy to have black and white tvs behind the bar, even if they were huge and beautiful, but as a huge sports fan and fine food connoisseur, it makes a lot of sense! You don't get the sports bar ambiance of Rainbow lighting blowing up your walls, but you can still keep up with what's going on or pick this place to watch a game without ruining the fine dining vibe! Otherwise the building is beautiful, awesome bar and tables, unique bathrooms, and very spacious.
The future: well they still need a sign out front as it's hard to find, and the bar tender assured me that would be remedied this week. Then they still are working on opening the attached butcher shop and downstairs speakeasy. I'll definitely be back to check on their progress!
