"Loved the benedict!"

  • Food:
  • Decor:
  • Service:
  • Cost: $$
  • Wine / Cocktails:

Overview:

I drink coffee only a few times per year - crazy I know - but I had the most amazing drink here! My vanilla latte wasn't too sweet and the perfect blend of smooth and creamy. I did give myself a slight foam mustache which I gladly licked off. YUM!

Special Dishes:

Coffee drinks, Snickerdoodles

"Great Wine Bar in Old Town"

  • Wine bar
  • Food: Small plates, cheese plates
  • Decor: Hip
  • Service: Knowlegable, Friendly, Fast
  • Cost: $$$
  • Wine / Cocktails: Extensive wine list

Overview:

Went here with a group of three girlfriends the second week of opening. We were seated right away however they do have a large bar and seating area if you wait for a table. They don't normally take reservations.

We started out with some great wines, I had a Pinot Noir from Oregon which was perfect - smooth and velvety. They do sample any of the wines by the glass before you commit.

We all shared a bunch of apps including the Putanesca pizza, Country Pate, Mussels, Monkey bread and a salad. Everything was fabulous but the mussels were definitely the table favorite. SO YUMMY. It was a white wine broth with Pesto and spicy andouille sausage.

For dessert we had the cheescake and cake selection. My favorite was the lemon blueberry cheescake. What a great addition to Wells Street. See you soon ;)

Special Dishes:

Mussels

"16" Grilled Cheese!!!"

  • Sports bar
  • burgers
  • Food: Upscale and hearty bar food
  • Decor: Natural wood throughout, sports bars, comfortable
  • Service: Fast, friendly, good looking
  • Cost: $$
  • Wine / Cocktails: Great draft beer selection

Overview:

I've had just about every single item on The Pony's menu. My favorite snack to share would be their 16" Clydesdale grilled cheese. It's loaded with three different types of cheese and comes with a homemade tomato basil dipping sauce. A side of handcut fries with ranch goes great with this sandwich! My other go-to favorites are the Cowboy burger (the ground beef is hand-patted with giardenere), the BBQ beef brisket and the waffle nachos.

This is a great place to watch sports because each table has their own table and there are plenty of big screens scattered throughout the bar. They also open the upstairs level on the weekends and really busy sports days. I know they are a UK bar, so if there is a basketball/football game, prepare for a lot of blue!

Special Dishes:

Clydesdale, Cowboy Burger, Fries, Pizza

"Bone marrow fabulousness"

  • Food: Brasserie
  • Decor: Newly decorated
  • Service:
  • Cost: $$$
  • Wine / Cocktails:

Overview:

The concept is great, decor is rustic, service was very personable. But yes, let's talk about the food! Whenever deviled eggs are on a menu I can't resist ordering a few. The deviled eggs at Marlowe are top notch, so delish. They also have a tasty version of another one of my all-time favorites, BEEF TARTAR! YUMMMMMMM.

I keep raving but I also must mention the bone marrow. If you don't get anything else, get this!! The chef really did a number on this one he really really did. The dish includes a large portion of big bone marrow in half, crustinis and tapenade. The flavors just go together so well. Just thinking of it right now makes me want to go back this minute.

Special Dishes:

bone marrow, beef tartar, pork chop

"Great Izakya Spot"

  • Sushi
  • izakya
  • Food: Fresh, delicious
  • Decor: Quaint
  • Service:
  • Cost: $$
  • Wine / Cocktails:

Overview:

I left Musha with a fullllll stomach! I just couldn't stop eating. Literally. This is def. a favorite izakya spot. It felt like we ordered everything and it was all fab-o. The food melted in my mouth. I fell in love with the sesame ice cream and "spicy" rice. Halibut carpaccio and spicy tuna dip are also must-haves in my opinion.

I would definitely recommend calling ahead to make a reservation as they don't have that many tables.

Special Dishes:

Spicy rice, sesame ice cream, spicy tuna dip
