Solid place for a casual lunch or late night snacking and boozing in the financial district.
Food - Never had a bad meal here. Everything is either slightly above average or super tasty. Duck fat fries and mussel bowls are hearty, filling and flavorful
Drinks - well-constructed and diversified beer menu, you can tell that it was thoughtfully composed and not an overwhelming volume like the telephone book you get at bier market
Service - bar staff is very good, attentive and knowledgeable on beers and eager to make recommendations to suit your palate. They also do quirky little tricks like balancing bottles on their head while wildly gesticulating to an audience of no one in particular when they think no one is looking. Simply charming. The lunch staff is slightly obnoxious at peak hours but I can forgive this, every table is full and these guys are jammed
Ambiance - more upscale than your average gastropub while still maintaining a casual and laid-back aura. Very good ambient lighting scheme, you are instantly put at ease. Big comfy booths to lounge around in at night for several hours on end and put away a few drinks. Patio doesn't have a nice view or anything but seating is a single column of tables so you have a degree of privacy from other patrons
