Went out to dinner last week at this little spot in Brooklyn. It is a Seafood/American type menu, which is not large, but just enough. All of the tables are a little too close each other, but I guess that should be expected for a small restaurant. Also, maybe it was just the night we went on, or it was an off day, but the service was pretty poor. We finished our meal, and waited for about 30 minutes before anyone even came to our table to give us a check. Took another 15 minutes for them to come back to get the check so we can pay, and the place wasn't even that crowded for it take that long.
However....ON TO THE FOOD!!!!
However....ON TO THE FOOD!!!!
Beer of Choice: Rogue Dead Guy.
Served in a 12oz Bottle. 6.50% ABV. Has a Slight Amber/Copper Color to it. Has a caramel and apricot taste to it. Not very hoppy, but leaves a nice taste in your mouth. Would recommend for sure.
Appetizer: New England Clam Chowder
Was made with actual clams in shell mixed in, But that was the extent of clams. Each shell had 1 clam each. Lots of chopped potatoes. Had a nice kick w/ the pepper in the broth. Delicious, but could have used more clams and fewer potatoes.
Main course: Sel de Mer Burger
Ordered medium. 7oz of Pat LaFriedas meat. Bacon strips cooked w/ a perfect crisp. Caramelized onions, mixed w/ a sweet marinade, they had a real nice flavor. Melted sharp cheddar melted on top. All squeezed between a nicely browned, crunchy English muffin. Served with two sides, French fries, and a serving of mixed greens, lightly mixed in oil and vinegar.
Final Thoughts
Overall a pretty good meal, my burger was delicious!! However, being a seafood place, I was disappointed with the chowdah!! Also, I know I didn't get seafood for the main course, but sometimes you just crave a burger, so next time. Price was average for a Brooklyn restaurant as well. I'll give it 3 out of 5 Nom's.
