| - After seeing the numerous reviews for A N' A I HAD to give it a try! It was a pleasant Friday August evening, and luckily the rain stayed away since Darren and I had to wait outside for nearly an hour before a table opened up. The owner (?) of the establishment did keep checking on us and gave updates on how much longer he thought we'd have to wait. There is a menu posted outside the restaurant doors and we had plenty of time to mull it over.
Once seated we were happy to already have our mind made up as to what we wanted to eat and wasted no time giving the server our order. We started with the Steak Tartare: "fresh, chopped rare seared fillet, pickled shallot, mustard creme fraiche, garlic brioche toast". This is a first for me so I do not have anything to compare it to, but did enjoy it greatly. Just not sure it was worth $14.00.
I then proceeded to order the Crab Pierogies. Lump crab meat, bacon, fresh corn, old bay grilled onions, sour cream. These were rather good as well! I didn't want to run out of the delicious crab stuffed dough pockets but alas I did!
I also ordered a Moscow Mule, as I saw it mentioned in other reviews and was very curious. Ginger beer never tasted so good! Served in a copper mug! What with the price of copper I teased that I was going to take the mug home. Darren, who isn't much for booze, even enjoyed this drink! Reminding me a bit of ginger ale (YUM!).
There was no air conditioning and we both were sweating in the tight crowded dinning room before we even got our entree. The trendy crowd was loud and in no rush to leave A n' A. I passed the time singing along with the 80's pop tunes blaring from the speakers. "Set me free why don't you babe. Get outta my life why don't you babe..." Gotta love Kim Wilde. Good times! Be warned though, it is a little pricey.
