So in the same spirit as the Minetta Tavern, we went bougy pub grub.. Couples. Boozy. Pricey. Holy bananas. I have much more to say on this one.
The food was exceptional, however the portion sizes are enormous. You can easily split an entree between two people. The apetizers are also enormous. The cesary salad was an entree size, and the tar tar is too. All of the food was great, there wasn't anything (save a single dessert) that disappointed.
The drink service, however, was abysmal. There's nothing worse than piss poor drink service. The explanation was even dumber. Our incredibly chatty, gregarious waiter was all too eager to share that there's only a single bartender for the entire restaurant. They have two seatings, 5 and 9 and all of the 5pm drink orders come in at the same time. Given a stringent seating time, you think they would account fror that. Idiots! Our solition was to order a cocktail the second our cocktail was delivered. It seemed to work out after the first twenty minute wait.
Nonetheless, eventually a fine time was had by all. If coming here, order a cocktail and bottle of wine immediately, that should stay you over.
