| - Great vibe (very hipster though), and good (but expensive) cocktails.
I love the little moscow. I haven't yet found a moscow mule done better anywhere else.
I'm a salt-lover so this place tastes just right to me, but the chef definitely likes to pack on the salt. I think the food is consistently excellent. I've tried the steak tartare, duck nuggets, spicy pickles, grilled bacon, bread and butter, oysters, perogies, wedge salad and fries. I'll try and give you a quick overview of the menu items I've tried.
Note that the steak tartare has since been replaced with the "cheesecake tartare", which substitutes the duck yolk for provolone aioli. I can't say I'm a fan of the new rendition.
The duck nuggets, are great. If you like chicken nuggets you should like these- they're a gourmet version.
The spicy pickles are really excellent. They might not sound like much, but they are really good.
Grilled bacon was very salty, but if you're like me and like thick-cut bacon and salt, you'll like this.
Bread and butter was exactly what it sounds like. A lot simpler than I was expecting. I wouldn't order it again.
The oysters are a great deal on Sunday (buck-a-shuck). They were really good. Lately I've been getting about 2 bad oysters per dozen, which I don't complain about because I only order these on Sundays.
Perogies were alright to me. From reading the reviews, there are a lot of big fans. I'm personally not one of them, but to each his own!
The wedge salad is good. Bacon bits were really yummy.
Fries come with "fruit ketchup" and bone marrow aioli. Both sauces are really, really good. I don't know what fruit is in the "fruit ketchup." It tasted like a really good house ketchup to me. Would definitely order these again.
I don't know what you guys are ordering to put this in the "$$" category. I think "$$$" is a more accurate price-range to expect.
Disclaimer: I'm writing this review late. I haven't been here in a number of months so some menu items may have changed.
