| - Tucked into a bar which is tucked into an obscure location certainly will slow the foot traffic towards this restaurant, but it is definitely worth seeking out. It reminded me a lot of Carlos' Kitchen (closed... for now) ... Gourmet Food at diner prices inside of a bar!
Me and my buddy had the:
Haywire (potatoes in a skillet with fontina cheese, bacon, and green onions and maybe a couple other things),
Mad Max (Burger topped with mushrooms, fontina cheese, and short ribs... YES SHORT RIBS!),
Kalifornication sandwich (Chicken, Guac, Jalapeno Aioli, usual trimmings)
All of it was really tasty and enjoyable.
A couple of complaints would be that the televisions in the restaurant are outdated and tiny (though you can eat in the bar), the restaurant is TOO empty... I guess most people eat out at the bar. And our server either simply acted or was very stoned and a little hard to take seriously. But he got everything right though.
Combined with the 10 for 20 yelp deal, the bill only came out to 7 dollars or so (thus costing around 17) before tip, so that was great. And even if it had been full price, it still would have been a bargain.
I'm really looking forward to trying a larger variety of foods here as most of the ones I mentioned have already been reviewed. Will update later!
Edit: Updating with a couple more dishes tried - We tried the Quesadillas, spot on delicious. Also tried the Beef Sandwich, name escapes me. It was good, but at the same time very predictable and not special in this case. Our server was better, though I am getting the idea that they aren't waiters but just people who work at the bar, which explains their more "laid back" style.
