My son and his girlfriend have been there many times, and insisted we get the whipped ricotta appetizer and kale salad. Both of these items were top notch, as were the cocktails and we enjoyed. The pasta bolognese that the ladies ordered was delicious. My son had the burger and fries, and it was fine, just not very special. I ordered the "half" chicken, thinking as a bird themed restaurant, the only poultry entree would be a star, but that was not the case. A small thigh and half of a breast was their interpretation of a half chicken, and this was noted on the menu, but the portion was disappointing. The dish was supposed to to be accompanied by polenta with trumpet mushrooms, but two paltry slices of mushroom with a small smear of polenta completed the dish which "artfully" only occupied the left half of the plate, leaving the rest of the plate bare. Small portions aside, the dish was overly salty, to the point I had dry mouth the rest of the night, and the chicken was overcooked. The taste was fine, and the little bit of polenta added enough moisture to make the dish work. The worst thing was the incredibly dull dinner knife that couldn't cut through the mushroom, let alone the chicken, causing me to apply the stab and pull/tear method to get bite sized pieces. Everything thing else was superb. I would go back for the cocktails and appetizers, perhaps grazing the appetizers and a salad as a dinner. The pastas all looked terrific, but I will probably steer clear of the four mains on the menu, as they seem to be the least inspired items to order.

The unfortunate thing is that when you have expensive food, like The Bad Apple does, the expectation of consistently good food is higher and they haven't been able to deliver. The last few times I've had a burger from here I've been left underwhelmed. My go-to burger is the Da Bears Burger which runs $18 when you order from GrubHub. The last two times I've had the burger (once at the restaurant and once at home) the smoked brisket has been dry. On my last occasion the bottom half of the bun was burnt. It was barely edible without drowning it in sauce. I've reached the point that the price outweighs the food quality. We have too many delicious burger spots that are priced similarly or less to keep feeling like I'm wasting money,

Enter Cobblestone sight unseen. We did not have to re-park the car and were a stones throw away. It was a perfect night to sit outside but there was a wait, so inside we go! The menu is skinny! They had already sold out of the mussels by the time we arrived, so it was even skinnier! Everyone seemed pleased with their drink and food choices. They had a $10 sausage plate special that I thought would be ideal for an appetizer and it was. The shaved brussels salad was gorgeous, generous, delicious and filling. The sausage platter did not disappoint. My wife really enjoyed the duck raghu and the rest of the gang liked their burgers and fish and chips. Stand out drink of the evening was "spill the tea!" We will be back!

My wife had the Spaghetti o's which was great with clever presentation, but over salty, even for her who salts everything. She said she would not get it again. The focaccia was good, but the honey whipped butter stole the show. Ravioli (sweet corn, polenta, goat cheese and ricotta with candied jalapeño) was unique, tasty and tender with fresh pasta. The decor and artwork are old school, kinda English pub like. We will be back!

This was a great, cozy spot to try a different take on Filipino food. Being a Filipina myself, I'm…read moretorn between labeling it because I feel like some of the dishes are more Filipino-inspired while others are definitely elevated-Filipino. Either way, it's a good place to try a twist on your favorites or dip into something new. I especially appreciated that there were a lot of vegetarian options which is hard to find in Filipino food, like our "veggie" lumpia usually has small bits of meat in it, lol. We were warmly welcomed, seated relatively quickly, and the service was attentive and timely. The place is cozy and on the dark side so my pics aren't the greatest. We had the Inihaw ng Talong which is basically grilled eggplant that came brushed with sunflower butter, loaded with tomatoes and garnished with cilantro. This was a nice start but a small one. The eggplant was smoky and creamy and complimented by the bright tomatoes. The Satti Manok, skewered grilled chicken, with cornbread sticky rice was good, but I've definitely had better for a lot less. This is usually a staple you'll find at any Filipino family's BBQ but the cornbread sticky rice was a surprisingly nice treat. If you've had this before, somewhere else, I'd skip it to try something else. The Sinigang Caesar was such a nice twist that totally made sense! My only complaint is that it was served with Bibb lettuce instead of a crunchy romaine. I enjoyed this so much I've been making my Caesar dressings with a sprinkling of Sinigang powder now and my family loves it. The Kare Kare gulay was nice and I enjoyed it. The charred cabbage gave it some extra depth that I think is needed to pull this off because this sauce is made with sunflower butter instead of peanut butter. This was great for me because I'm allergic to peanuts but it definitely changes the flavor, making it a little sweeter and lighter. I wish they would've made this with cashew or almond butter to keep it closer to the rich, deep flavors of a Kare Kare. The Maitake mushrooms -- I absolutely loved. I've never had this before and it reminded me of a good Laing which is also made with a spiced coconut sauce. I definitely could've eaten this all to myself with the garlic rice. Yes, the garlic rice is good but I was surprised to see it go for $6 a bowl. Rice is usually so cheap, if not complementary in Filipino restaurants and garlic rice is quite common, especially for breakfast (yes, I sabreakfast). It was cooked perfectly though. The mango float was delicious. Not sure why it's called a float but it was mango and mascarpone ice cream nestled in a mango sauce and topped with a delicate, crumbly butter cookie. I will definitely come back for more if I'm ever in the area again. I'd be excited to try other things on their menu.

To start, we ordered some lumpia's ($6) which I feel like is a must at a Filipino restaurant. They were delicious and a good way to start the meal. We ordered the Sizzling Sisig ($18) and Tortang Talong ($28) as our entrees. We got a bowl of garlic fried rice which is an extra dollar instead of regular white rice. We were surprised that the Sisig was a little sweet. We were hoping it would taste a little more savory. For the garlic fried rice, we also wanted it be more garlicky. We didn't really taste much garlic. For the Tortang Talong, we didn't know what to expect but we didn't care too much for it. It's a unique dish but we thought that it was on the sweeter end than savory. For the dessert, we ordered the mango float ($11) which we loved. It was a great way to end the night. The syrup was delicious and had a good mix of the crunch with the biscoff and softness of the ice cream. Overall, we were glad we tried it, but it wouldn't be my go to for Filipino food.
