  • Bar 145 brings the feel of a sleek, clean, hip gastro pub to revitalized downtown Kent. Out of all the different bars and brewpubs lining Kent's main streets and back alleys, this might be the one you will want to go to the most, if big city aesthetics are your guiding light. My fear after two visits, however, is that Bar 145, when it comes down to it, may be more "look" and "feel" than substance. The menu is spirited and adventuresome, promising experimental hipster food delights such as burgers with waffles as buns. Executional flaws, however, are abundant, beginning with the underwhelming Monte Cristo burger, which came on untoasted Wonder Bread. The promising "seasonal fruit preserve" advertised in the description, meanwhile, amounted to what looked like Smucker's jelly plopped on top - yes, you heard me - on top of the burger, on the outside of the "bun." How, I wondered, might one go about picking up such a burger, without smearing their hands with sticky jelly? The cobb salad I had on my second visit was an unconditional disappointment. Cobb salads, in my experience, have always been A) pleasant to look at and B) hearty and satisfying. Harking back to the old Wolfgang Puck restaurants, when I think of a cobb salad, I imagine orderly rows of colorful avocado, tomato, bleu cheese, bacon, hard boiled egg, and the like, sitting atop crisp, just-washed romaine. Even in so-called "tossed" versions, cobb salads are all about a density of flavorful ingredients packed so tightly that each forkful promises a bit of everything. The 145 version, I regretfully report, underwhelms in both presentation and substance. My salad was almost all lettuce, with a few pieces of bacon and avocado here and there thrown in haphazardly, almost as if it were a garnish. The cheese, meanwhile, was a shredded Sysco-grade cheddar, sprinkled on the top as if an afterthought, ruining my visions of piles of cubed, sharp, tangy Tillamook that would have given the salad some badly needed character. Bar 145 is a nice place to have a beer and watch a game, but its food menu feels more like that great-on-paper sports team that flops when it comes to actual performance.
