JAROblue has become one of my favourite go to places for an amazing late evening snack or cocktails.
The ambiance inside is subdued and chill, seating is a combo of comfortable banquet seating with tables and chairs or if you're lucky, snag the couch and low table. If you're dining or imbibing solo, go sit at the bar and chat with the friendly barkeep.
Lately I've been settling in at the bar and indulging in some of the great cocktails on offer. If you don't see it listed, ask. They should be able to make it or come up with something else to suprise you. One drink you MUST try is the Travis Espresso Martini. While there is an espresso martini on the menu, this is very different and has become my favourite cocktail to start out with there.
Some menu highlights: the lamb tortelini; housemade tortelini stuffed with lamb served on a bed of a citrus demi-glaze and shaved mancheego cheese. The parsnip pave; parsnips are not a favourite veggie for me and normally I'd cross the street to avoid them. However, I'm now getting cravings for this dish. layers of roasted parsnip served with a mushroom and bacon vinegarette.
Often I order whatever is on the fresh sheet that night, it's always changing and always good. Most recently I had a grilled medium bone in pork chop thinly sliced and served on a bed of a blueberry barbeque sauce. Wow...
