Architecture: bun, mustard dressing, arugula, bacon, compote, morbier
cheese, patty, arugula, bun. Cornichon pickles on the side. This was a serious gastropub fare. The bacon was a thick confit of
pork belly, while the compote was a sweet tomato-onion syrup. The bun
was a fresh brioche with pepper flakes on top. Overall, the stack was
well-balanced, especially with the compote moistening the confit. The
bun was fresh and enjoyable all by itself. The patty was a little
small (listed as 6 ounces, but felt less) but was fortified by the
thrust of the confit. The meal started with Aztec, a stupendous
cocktail with premium tequila, jalapeno, crema de mezcal, cucumber,
lime juice, and agave syrup. The meal ended with a Malibu-like
concoction called Thai libation, with rum, lemon grass, thai chili and
coconut. Before the check, a gigantic limoncello-hazelnut sundae was
ordered, with heaps of praline wafer, hazelnut cookies, meringue,
lemon sauce, whipped cream.
Rating: 1 star to the restaurant for its creative menu, bar creations, good food, and jolly good atmosphere.
