| - fantastic place, Mario and Peter (owners) are awesome
Finally adding this review to my yelp
I went there last night (this isnt really last night it is few months ago - it is still excellent not too) and it was excellent - The beer list they have is fantastic and Mario who is a part owner was behind the bar and it was good talking to him
Arrived just at the end of happy hour, they have $1 off draft beers for happy hour and half priced glasses of wine and there was a certain amount off well drinks but i don't recall what that is
They are going to be working on their mixed drink menu, they wont have that ready to go for another week or two
Started out with Schneider Aventinus, Doppel Weizen Bock,Germany 8.2% which could be my new favorite beer, it is a unfiltered wheat bock, amazing
One of the nice touches is that they have the proper beer glass to go with each beer they have on tap in the appropriate sizes and the largest karmeliet glass i have ever seen, and they have a lot of imports on the list so they are doing great in the strong ale category - which is my favorite type of beer
As i was looking at the menu I asked if they had foie gras because i saw a picture on their facebook page, and Mario told me they always have that as an off the item menu and it could be prepared however I would like it - which sounded great to me
Foie Gras torchon with toast points, honey comb, apples, cherries - also had a lemon tuille and some micro greens as well
The honeycomb was a very nice touch because it got the sweetness however the bonus was the nice texture it added to the overall
My friend ordered Heirloom Tomatoes and Gioia Burrata and i got a taste of that, it was a great salad, and had small bread sticks and fresh pesto on it as well, very light and refreshing - just the thing after foie gras :)
for my main i ordered the crispy half duck, it was confit duck style, the skin was very crispy and it was a huge portion - the duck was very good the crispy duck skin fat had lots of flavor with it - and i was happy to have confit again since i still dream of the chez dumonet duck i had in Paris this summer - my only change i would have made was the side items it was served with, i would have liked dauphine potatoes - with that said it was the best duck i have had in AZ, and i was happy it was not just seared duck breast
My friends ordered the spinach Gnochi, Black Tagliolini, Mediterranean Sea Bass
I tried the Sea Bass, which was was very good, with the skin on crispy and crab on top the pasta dishes all looked amazing, although i didnt get to try them, i will certainly be trying them on my next visit
rubee while i was there quite a few people ordered the crispy ribs - they looked great and everyone said they were delicious
Seems like there will be specials each day as well based on what looks good in the market, everything coming out of the kitchen looked great - finally a place with an awesome beer list and delicious food - looking forward to seeing what they do with their cocktail list
will certainly be back and it is nice they have parking
