Happy Hour is the only draw for me for Michael Mina Pub 1842. Here we sampled Duck Spring Rolls, Lobster Grilled Cheese, and some Pork Sliders.
While each dish was tasty, they were somewhat lacking in their primary ingredient - particularly the duck and lobster. When biting into the spring roll, it was a struggle to actually taste any duck. I really wanted to taste it too! Likewise with the lobster mac and cheese, the texture of the lobster was evident, but there was little flavor.
We received satisfactory service, but the bar is very busy during happy hour and we were lucky to get a seat. At the same time, the manager offered to allow us to order happy hour at one of the tables even though that's normally not allowed.
