Bistro 55 - Carta

I went to this restaurant last night for drinks with my coworkers, and wow, I was shocked when I saw the bill! The Casamigos tequila on the rocks with a splash of fresh lime juice was $18! That's just outrageous! The bartender didn't even mention the price beforehand. I watched as they measured out exactly 1 ounce—there wasn’t even an extra drop. $18 for a single ounce shot is pretty disappointing.

If a restaurant is average I usually do not leave a review, but the food here is so bad I have to. The cheese inside of the grilled cheese sandwich was solid blocks, NOT melted at all! I ordered the burger, medium and it was completely rare. They messed up 2 alcohol orders and it took them 15 minutes to bring my coke. I only gave them 2 stars because the interior is very cute and industrial. The food is terrible.

However, the food was underwhelming. I had the crispy chicken sandwich, which lived up to its name—very crispy. Unfortunately, it was so crispy that I couldn’t finish it. The flavors were pretty forgettable, and I wouldn't order it again. My friend had the nachos, which were decent but nothing special that I'd rave about. On the bright side, our waiter was friendly and attentive. Even though he was the only bartender on duty during lunch, he managed to take great care of us. Ver carta

I had dinner at The Dog Cask last night. I was truly impressed with their large selection of beers and wines. I tried a new wine from Valladolid, Spain that was delicious and a sour cider. For dinner, I tried the Lobster Grilled Cheese. Of course it was on the expensive side (lobster always is), but I enjoyed it. The French fries were great, too. As a dessert, I had the Cookies n Creme Bread Pudding. The taste was good. I particularly liked the crumbled Oreos on top of it! Overall, I enjoyed my dinner there.

This review is for my 7/30/18 visit when they did All You Can Eat Mussels over the summer. With the purchase of a beverage, you get as many as you'd like for only $12.95. I went in the early evening during happy hour and they also honored drink prices with the mussels so I got a large pour of wine AND my choice of four flavors for less than $20! WHAT??!! I chose the Thai Style Green Coconut Curry. I was given a dozen small to medium sized ones in each bowl with a basket of country white bread. They were very delicious and when I ordered more they came very quickly. Service is always knowledgeable and delightful here.

I attended a wine and beer yoga class in their private room, and it was such a fun experience—definitely a unique way to get a workout in! After the class, we relaxed with some drinks and food. I tried the wings and fries, both of which were delicious. The service was excellent, and I really enjoyed the decor and overall vibe of the place. I’ve heard great things about their brunch, which I’m looking forward to trying soon. They also have two happy hours: one from 4 to 7 PM and a later one from 10 PM to midnight. I especially appreciated the thoughtful detail of having mouthwash available in the bathroom; it’s a nice touch! Ver carta

I visited this restaurant for a late lunch on a weekday, and it turned out to be a great choice. Initially, when I walked in, the music was quite loud, and I thought about leaving. However, the bartender quickly took care of it by turning off the music in the dining room, which made things much more pleasant. They offer a nice selection of beers, although some items were unavailable. We ordered a grilled cheese and a short rib sandwich, both of which were delicious and exceeded my expectations. The ambiance of the place is appealing, and the service was friendly and accommodating. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're in the area.

The food menu was quite extensive as well. We didn’t have the courage to try the bison or kangaroo burgers (but if anyone else does, please share your review—I’d love to hear about it!). However, we were both very pleased with our choices. I had the braised short rib sandwich with French fries, which were among the best I’ve had in a long time! My partner enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad, which was also delicious. The portion sizes were satisfying without being excessive. The atmosphere was clean and inviting, and our server, Charlotte, was attentive without being intrusive. If we find ourselves in the area again, we’ll definitely make a stop here!

Knowledge, helpful, and pleasant staff in a casual hipster place. Felt like somewhere you can go and you 're not judged or thought to be 'different ' because of clothes, hair, ethnicity, etc. by simple minded people who can 't get their own lives together but think you should change yours first. When our waiter didn 't know something (in this case, a crafted alcoholic ingredient , he quickly came back with an answer. Bussers, other waiters, food runners were all willing to help no matter what we needed. Food surprised me. Many craft beer/artsy drink places lack quality eats. All four people at my table said they 'd return for everything, drinks, food and atmosphere. Everything was really goo... Ver carta
