| - Came to Gaspar with a couple friends on a Sunday night. It was kind of dead, just a few people at the tables. The space is very big and has an old taverny feel to it. I really liked the stone walls and wood, made for a cozy atmosphere.
They have a list of mixed cocktails that have a slew of different liquors. My favorite liquor, bourbon, was featured in a couple drinks. I ended up with an Old Fashioned, which I found to be excellent (made with Makers Mark :)). They also have a slow gin fizz, which intrigues me and will need to be tried next.
We started off with a couple of shared plates (cod fritters, chips and truffle mayo, olives). The cod fritters were very good, but the chips used with the truffle mayo could use some work. Olives are olives...kinda hard to mess those up.
As I have given up all animals except for seafood for Lent, I decided to get the standard mussels and frites in white wine sauce. It was ok, nothing spectacular. However, perusing the menu, there seems to be somethings I definitely want to try (that tavern burger with pork belly and manchego cheese sounds delicious).
So I definitely need to go back once Lent is over so I can try the various meat dishes that they have.
