I recently went to the summit before a yelp event. I live in Mt. Washington but haven't really come across any places that I really enjoyed getting cocktails at. The summit always seemed appealing to me but also, tended to be a little too busy each time I walked by (not a bad thing, I know). I chose to meet a friend before heading to the Grandview bakery and I am extremely sad that I have not gone before.
I did not have any of the food but it all looked good. One stand out i remember was their spring pea ravioli, which sounded fresh and delicious. I did have two cocktails. The bartenders seemed incredibly knowledgeable and really friendly. I ordered a drink that I believe was called "Donnie Darko" like the movie. This drink is pretty much my existence in a glass. There was rye and a hazelnut maple syrup. Simple and amazing. I also had another drink that I do not remember the name of. I only remember jalapeno and gin were in it. Also, it was gooood. The heat was at the beginning and not on the finish, which I usually find with pepper-based cocktails. It was smooth and not overly sweet. I would have more to rave about if the other drink was not even better.
I will definitely be going back to the summit and the next time I will have food for sure!
