I went to the Queen and Beav (that's my new nickname for it) on a casual date one night, being told by my date that it was a great place. I was sad that the old restaurant 35 Elm was no longer there, as it used to be my standard after work date restaurant, but really it was lame, and the Beav is great.
It took way too long to get an old-fashioned - apparently waiting 5 minutes for a cherry (?) but the Brit in me knows I should've stuck with a pint so it serves me right. After waiting for a patio table in the comfy leather armchairs upstairs, we were brought out to the 2nd floor patio.
I went with the ploughman's, but wasn't a fan of the homemade pickle - the whole meal was a bit too pickley for me, but my friends dinner and homemade crisps were delightful. We had two very attentive servers who made us feel very comfy as well.
Unrelated to the service or food, I swear I knew one of the servers (did we date at some point??) so I was entertained in addition to everything else.
The patio provides a nice view of Elm Street as well as possible debauchery sightings in the Delta Chelsea hotel right next door - alas we caught none. Elm Street is a great little hideaway street with other good spots.
