Two words: cast beer. Beer that is conditioned in casks is naturally carbonated, and often has a thicker mouthfeel and flavor. I had the casked Black Butte Porter, and it was amazing! Served at room temperature, and not very carbonated, you could taste all of the fine flavors in this well crafted porter. It was a bad choice for my Tomato and Onion salad with blue cheese dressing, but it was worth it!
The beer choices are some of the best on The Strip, and they are the only establishment serving casked beer. I probably would have settled with a 3 star review, but that fact is pretty impressive.
The food was pretty good. I only had that Tomato and onion salad, which is just that.. two thick slices of yummy tomato and two slices of onion. It is more of an appetizer than a real salad. I probably wouldn't order that weird thing again, but all of my friends enjoyed their dishes. Most of it was upscale burger and sandwich type things. Ah, and they serve popcorn as a complimentary appetizer. :)
The biggest downside to Todd English is the pricing. It's steep, let's face it. It's also on The Strip, where overpricing is the norm, so Todd's gets a pass. The fact of the matter is for me that this is an establishment aimed at the craft beer drinker, and that alone has won my heart! Cheers, Todd English!
