| - Milk Tiger, you rock my cocktail world. And you rocked my best friend's gluten-free world too. She was so very excited to be able to eat an actual grilled cheese sandwich again! And not only that, it was a fancy grill cheese sandwich with pesto and gouda cheese and everything.
I filled myself up with the cider pulled pork tacos. Three little taco shells filled with yummy pulled pork, a side of nicely diced of veggies for me to sprinkle on at my leisure, and a delicious potato salad were just the right size of meal for my Friday night. The potato salad was especially awesome-baby potatoes coated in a balsamic vinaigrette with feta cheese. *Drool*
Milk Tiger's also got an impressive cocktail list. I might have to make my own passport to try them all. Last night I sipped on a Suffering Bastard to start. When I asked for something made with whisky and that was particularly boozy, MTL made me a Vieux Carre. Boozy it was, just what I ordered. Ooooo, did that ever hit the spot.
We also enjoyed the cardboard deer head mounted on the wall. Nice touch! The rest of the interior is dimly lit, with a couple of tables that work well for groups of 3-8 and also a couple of corner spots that seemed to make for some very cozy dates ;).
I also feel like the bathrooms cannot go without a mention. They're at the back of the restaurant, and there are four doors in a row. Two men's doors and two women's doors. There's a full wall between the middle men's and women's stalls, but only a partial wall between the two women's stalls. The sinks are shared and out in the open. Don't forget to wash your hands. Every one else in the bar will see you if you don't! (And can I just saw EEWWWW!!! if that's the case?)
MTL deserves 5 stars in my books. The service, the choices, everything was wonderful. So why only 4? It's another spot that doesn't seem to take debit, even though they accept credit. There's a cash machine back by the washrooms instead. That point on its own downgrades even the best of places by a star point. *le sigh*
