Poz Bad ass damn grooving music. Nice class of well dressed savvy men. Bad ass damn grooving music. Nice class of well dressed savvy men. But, as I type this late-night review my RAW IN THE MIDDLE fried chicken thigh take-out left-over (from early tonight) is being broiled ... CAUSE IT WAS SERVED RAW IN THE MIDDLE. $16.50 for three so so pieces and cole slaw. Farmer Brown and Hard Knox have nothing to worry about. See, me and my running buddy checked out their early Tuesday night Jazz thingie (12/14). Got there round 8pm, nice door gal, ignored by the door man as usual. Ordered fries, good. Mussels, good. Chardonnay, meh. Tea, good. Fried Chicken ...Here is where I am a maven a monster and a size-queen. Size wise, okay. But that shiz is NOT fried. Baked, maybe. Broasted? Toasted? I had to ask for the salt shaker! The "fried chicken" was sort of like shake and bake for out of touch Buppies. The breast was a bit too moist inside like a wet cake. Drumstick, ditto ... thigh, RAW IN THE MIDDLE. Coda! This is the second time I've had raw in the middle fried chicken there. First time was back when you first opened, I ignored it. Our bill was 70 bucks granted, we tipped 20 percent cause the waiter is a doll. We even came back later in the evening for a more music and a nightcap and I had two glasses of wine, one had to be thrown away cause it was horrible the second was meh. I will make sure to eat before I go to Coda but that won't be for a long time. PS This must be added: When we came back later Tuesday night for more music and a nightcap we sat at the bar and saw a Five Dollar Tuesday Night Appetizer Menu! Wha?? Why didn't we get that menu, I nicely asked the bartender and waiter ... Everytime I think of that place I have mixed thoughts: too much money spent for too little of a return, style but not substance.

I will be damned! I have never written a review for El Rio!? Shame on me! I like this place because it is just a casual hang out spot when you can meet up with friends and have some cheap drinks... sit outside... people watch, dance and just be. I used to frequent this place a lot more years ago on nights where middle eastern music was king. The dancing was fun and even met a fun guy who I ended up dating... oh El Rio... you were good to me, but then Friday nights changed and I kinda stopped going every week. This bar still holds a spot in my heart and forever will do so... it has a cool mix of folks from all walks of life, cheap drinks, snacks (Cheetos and somehow always end up being in my hands when I have drinks here!!!) a pool table and shuffle board (complete with salt grains all over it (is it salt?). I know they have live music on some days. This place is lots of fun... good times had indeed...

Went here on a Thursday night. The restaurant was not very busy. We did not have a reservation and were seated immediately. The menu here changes daily and all of the ingredients used are seasonal. If you go, I recommend the 3 or 5-course chef's tastings. This is where you leave everything in the chef's hands, from the selection of the first amuse to the main course to the dessert. The amuses (originates from the French phrase "amuse bouche") are small bite-sized tastings that come before certain courses. If you have any food allergies or if there are foods you really don't like, just let the server know and the chef will not include those ingredients when preparing your dishes. Also, the 5-course tasting requires full table participation. Since you don't know what you're going to get when you choose these tastings, it's definitely only for the adventurous and those who love all types of food. It's a lot of fun however, and very much worth it, IMO. I opted for the 3-course chef's tasting when I went. The table was given a selection of bread - focaccia, raisin, and sourdough bread with unsalted butter. The first amuse was a bite of red radish with green parsley butter and black olive salt. That was followed by the first course, which was wild Alaskan halibut with English pea sauce, micro arugula, and fennel. The second amuse was a Hen of the Woods (a.k.a. Mitake) mushroom in a tempura batter with caramelized garlic and Lebanese Za'tar spice. The main course was Berkshire pork loin on top of sauteed mustard greens and kale with carrots, celery, turnips and New York maple syrup. The pork loin had a little fat on the top of each piece, which is supposed to be eaten with the meat. Dessert consisted of sticky toffee pudding with peanut brittle and a giant marshmallow and peanut butter mousse with ice cream, pop corn, and caramel. All of the food was excellent. The dishes were creative and the ingredients were fresh. Be sure to check out my local photos to see all the dishes. Service was also excellent. Chris and Courtney were our servers and they were both very knowledgeable about the dishes that were prepared for us.
