| - I have been to Praying Monk many times and keep forgetting to write a review....so, I figured I better get to it and write one!
On my first visit we sat at the bar and took a look at both the extensive beer menu and nice food menu. I kinda got lost looking at the beer menu as I'm not a huge beer fan but wanted to give something a try so I asked for a recommendation from the bartender. He asked a few essential questions on what I like and he ended up pouring me a Crispin over ice. I'm now in love with this beer!!!! It is so light and refreshing and they have it on tap! Even better in my book! While they have a large selection of beers on tap (that change all the time) they have many more to choose from in bottles.
So, as I was sipping on my beer I took a look at the menu. I liked how the menu was very easy to read (as some are so large and you get lost in reading them). There was some appetizers (all are good for sharing or small plates if you want to order a few for dinner for yourself). They had some salads, sandwiches (burger, chicken breast, etc) sides to share and then entrees. On this visit we decided on the calamari and chicken breast sandwich. I loved the calamari! One of the best I've had. While I didn't eat the chicken sandwich I did have a bite and it was so juicy and tender.
On our next trip I again had the Crispin and decided to try a few other things on the menu...I had the Brussels sprouts (delicious) and the mac & cheese. As everyone who knows me knows I will try everyone's mac & cheese to see how it stacks up to other restaurants....well....this is one of the best I've ever had (and I've had a ton). It's so creamy and the perfect mixture of cheese sauce and noodles. The Brussels spouts were also very, very good. I do notice that people either love or hate Brussels sprouts...if you are one who loves them you do need to give these a try!
On future visits I've had the wedge salad and chicken salad, both were very good and will certainly get again. I also had the Crispy Parmesan Potatoes and they are to die for!!!
We had a friends birthday party there and they did a great job accommodating everyone and our orders. Everyone seemed to really enjoy everything they had and said they will certainly be back.
The desserts are very good too...if you like chocolate they have a chocolate mousse, cheesecake thing that is so rich so it's certainly worth sharing with other people. Now, the Captain Crunch dessert with fruit sauce....I loved that so much you had to fight me for a bite!
Every time I've gone in the bartenders remember my drink, food order (or what I really liked from last time) and always are so warm and welcoming along with great service.
If you are in Old Town and looking for a chill spot with great beers, plates for sharing (or not) you need to make Praying Monk on your to do list of places to visit and eat and drink!
Enjoy!!!
