Jeez. What a break. Here's to having a second child. Managed to get away with the ol' wifey wife and kids in tow back up the Cranwell for a much needed break. Since that didn't happen, I at least had an opportunity to suck down a martini at Prairie Whale before dinner with one of the many friends without children. He chose Brava, which was perfectly boozy yet kid friendly. A sturdy wifi created an occupied four year old, coupled with a sleeping infant we almost felt like our wealthy friends across the table.
The ambiance was mellow, yet young. A simple little restaurant, wood paneled, with a prominent bar devouring half of the entire space. The food was pretty awesome. I'm not sure if it was the uninterrupted two hours of adult talk or the opportunity to eat with flatware, but it seemed as though everything that came out of the kitchen was delicious. As it was tapas, we tried quite a bit. The calamari, Shrimp/garlic, meatballs, arugula salad, anchovies, all were gone in an instant.
Since Great Berrington is touristy, but with a sort of back woods NYC sensibility, I feel that this place is living up to its snuff. Though, I could imagine the experience being quite different without that wifi.
