. "5"^^ . "We visited Meat & Potatoes last Saturday for a pre-dinner drink. Upon arrival at 5:30pm, the restaurant AND bar were packed. After making a circle around the bar to find seats, we went out to the hostess station to ask about a table. Unfortunately, Meat & Potatoes was completely booked for the evening. We really wanted to try at least something while we were there, so we went back to the bar.\n\nI sat down at the only empty seat while my fianc\u00E9 stood next to me. I asked the bartender (who looked amazing in the flannel shirt and cabby hat) for a drink suggestion. Per my taste buds, he recommended the Vanilla Sky. It tasted slightly tart with hints of anise and vanilla. As a black licorice lover, I truly enjoyed this beverage! My fianc\u00E9 got the 21st Amendment Back in Black. We both really enjoyed our drinks and plan on returning to Meat & Potatoes - on a night we have made reservations."^^ . . . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . "2012-10-31T00:00:00"^^ . "4"^^ .
