TimothyJune 14, 2012Get the Brussels sprout side order. Excellent. Fried sprouts with bacon, pecorino & lemon caper vinaigrette.
Youngna ParkAugust 16, 2012$6 for a generous basket of beautiful fried to-order cinnamon-y cake doughnuts with hot caramel dipping sauce. Bling.
Go with a friend - one of you order the meatloaf sandwich, and the other get the braised shortrib sandwich. Cut each in half and share. Yum! Get a side of mac 'n cheese to share as well...
Creme brulee and milk punch are excellent. Former is perfectly excuted, creamy, eggy custard and a perfectly thin and crispy top.
