First, check out my Ride & Review HERE:

This spot has swiftly become known for their stiff drinks and small bites. My wife and I tried a pair of their martinis: the pickle, and the clean dirty. Both were great.

We moved on to small bites, which included mini burgers, mini glizzies, and shoestring fries. These were all delicious. I was surprised to see the burgers cooked to a nice medium and still having decent thickness for the patties.

Although a bit expensive, I would definitely go back and try more stuff. Go give this place a shot!

My wife and I stopped in here before dinner at Andrew Steak Society to grab a quick drink, since we were early for our reservation.

The drinks and the menu were so good, that we booked a table for the following day.

The Gibson pictured above, made with olive washed vodka, celery flavored gin and dry vermouth was perfect.

The next day we came back for a huge meal. We started with the shaved fennel and olive salad, which was a big portion and also really delicious.

My wife’s favorite were the prawns with Calabrian chili butter.

The vitello tonnato was really great, using thinly sliced veal loin and topped with caperberries.

In the middle, we had a gemelli pasta with pesto and stracciatella. This was super fresh, although it could have used some finishing salt.

The pork milanese was served on the bone, pointed super thin, and topped with a cabbage slaw and apricot mustard jam. Very nice.

We also tried one of their pizzas, which was topped with san marzano tomato, speck and arugula.

We will definitely be going back to try more stuff.
