I had lunch at this gastro pub last week. I had the Pub Burger for $12. It was a nice burger. Although the ham handed cook couldn't resist pressing it on the griddle. Note to all burger preparers - Alton Brown proved on Good Eats that searing a piece of meat does not seal in juices. Leave the poor thing alone and it will cook properly. You are squeezing out all the natural goodness. This burger was topped with sauteed onions and blue cheese. It came with truffle oil infused shoe string fries. The place has a bar area (that they always try and force on single diners), a middle room and a kitchen room. The servers were attractive and attentive. The silverware was modern (the knife was balanced so you couldn't lay it sideways). The decor was bricky modern. The place was clean. It was mostly full. They have an annoying valet service (but you can find your own parking if you try). It suffers from what seems to be a decade long muncipal street improvement project outside its doors. The dinner menus seemed alluring (lots of game). I was told it changes regularly.
