Ok, so it wasn't my best judgement to bring a kid (she loved the pesto though) but the staff was super nice about it. Great food and solid beer list. We will be back, well for date night next time.
This West Town restaurant and bar opened in mid-October with Three Aces chef Matt Troost at the helm. Try out their local brews, hand-crafted cocktails and long American and Italian wine list. Leggi tutto
The "Because Winter" cocktail is a nice mix of rum and grapefruit. I had their steak and was very surprised at the presentation and the quality. Great restaurant. Hope they stick around.
Waffles vs. pancakes is one of brunch's eternal battles, and here they are locked in delicious détente. You should probably bring at least one person with you so you can share rather than choose. Leggi tutto
This fancy spot has a gorgeous Victorian-style interior and a menu featuring beautifully crafted pasta and tons of meat. Try the rabbit casconcelli covered in luscious brown butter and plump raisins. Leggi tutto
Great place for foodies. The black pepper rigatoni, sweet potato angolotti w/ venison, the polenta...all incredible. Not what I expected, but I'll go back in a heartbeat. Great for special occasions.
Super cozy and cute. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable servers. Great food - could not stop talking about the mashed carrots in the grilled octopus starter. Incredible.
One not to miss is the grilled octopus: good-size pieces over romesco sauce and beef-braised carrots, topped with a crunchy-sprinkle of marrow-fried ciabatta bits. Leggi tutto
There's no question that Charlatan is a neighborhood gem serving incredible pastas. Expect moist meatballs the size of tennis balls, swaddled in a nest of al dente spaghettini. Leggi tutto
At this West Town restaurant, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with lemon-ricotta pancakes served with bourbon maple syrup, lemon zest and milk jam that resembles dulce de leche. Leggi tutto
The beet bruschetta was excellent. Pastas come in half sizes so order lots to share. Their meatballs were great and the sweet potato venison pasta was rich and delicious.
The rotating option on Tuesday is the burger, made with tender beef, blue cheese, creamy garlic rosemary aioli and crispy fried mortadella on a house-made bun. Leggi tutto
When bread reminds you of cracklins, applause is an appropriate reaction. Charlatan, manages to bake focaccia as light and crunchy as fried chicken skin. Leggi tutto
