all right.
our last b1g1 free on my MPR card :( (new cards coming soon.. not so many discounts, boo.).. duplex!
it was a cool place. they were so pleasant in the entry, and let us run into the bar for happy hour (turns out we couldn't use the discount after all, lesson learned). since we won't have the MPR card deal anymore, we will totally have to go there for HH instead. their drinks are all $2 off.. and there were so many drinks that were just 4-5 bucks that it'd be worth it to come back & have some apps. the bar was fun because you are essentially overlooking the 2 chefs in the kitchen.. and listening to them talk together. fun =)
the servers & hostess, again.. so nice. not really overly sappy, but commended me for using the MPR card "it's a great way to learn new places!" jon had some cool-ass looking gnocchi. huge pastas, like 6 blanched tomatoes, huge buffalo mozz.. quite fun. tasted kinda bland to me, but he liked it. i had something totally new for me. black barley risotto. it was nice! i like black barley, and learned risotto doesn't have to be creamy goo. it had chicken in it that wasn't so tasty, but the mushroom, carrots & chevre were good. a good texture, but needed some ZIP (= spicy or sour). i did have the server give me about 1/2 c (exaggeration) of pepper before starting, which i am happy to have done.
would we go back? maybe for apps or soup. i do want to see the pork w. prunes & brussel sprouts, but jon wasn't in because it was a t-bone pork thingy, which i probably wouldn't enjoy either.
btw. bravobakery.net - view cakes. please.
