Came here for the first time when my boyfriend's parents were visiting. We were seated on the first floor in the back of the restaurant. It was still really light out for dinner but the area we sat in was so dark. I get having mood lighting, but it was way too dark to even see our menus or admire our food.
We ordered a bunch of the popular menu items including the hominy, pomme frites, barrel aged tobasco fried chicken, fred flintstone beef shortrib, and roasted pig head.
I don't think the hominy is on the menu anymore but I would order this appetizer over and over- crispy, salty and super tasty. The fried chicken definitely had a kick to it and was very juicy. The beef short rib was my favorite dish. Came out on a huge decadent platter. It was tender, fall off the bone goodness that was soaked in lots of flavor. The roasted pig head was interesting and more of a visual wow factor than anything else. I don't think it was worth the price in flavor but definitely impressive to see a whole pig face in the middle of the table.
I've also come here multiple times to hang out on the roof top that overlooks East 4th. This area feels much more casual and chill. Good drink selections and a nice place to hang out after work. I will be coming back to Greenhouse Tavern rooftop as long as the weather holds up but would probably skip the restaurant. The food was just OK for the price and the ambiance was just not inviting, especially if you are seated in the dark corner of the restaurant.
