Me and my boyfriend dropped by the fuel house last night. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed, but the owners were nice enough to let us in for a drink. And a delicious drink it was. We each had a smoked vodka caesar (smoked in house!), which was extra spicy and very yummy. I would definitely recommend this drink! they also have Saporro and Beau's on tap.
The menu is small, mostly sandwiches and looks fabulous. They also have daily specials (yesterday there was a panko breaded tempeh and veggie sandwich- yum!). It's a great atmosphere inside, very quaint and cozy and perfect for a dinner date or drinks with friends. There was also mention of possible menu extension to brunch, which would be fabulous as the brunch scene on college st. is pretty drab. There is also a backyard patio, with a cherry blossom tree, which will open in the summer and will definitely be worth checking out.
Despite not trying the food, I give this place a solid 5 stars! the owners were super warm and inviting! This is just the type of independent, cheap restaurant we need in this area of college st., with new and inventive dishes !
