We came here while waiting for a table at Gallagher's Bar. It's a beautiful bar, on par with the…read morefancy cocktails that I've seen in New York. The interior of the bar has upscale booths across from the bar as well as a larger room that can fit larger groups of people. The bar is known for its wines, but to me, it also had some super delicious cocktails. I got a gin and tonic with UK/British ingredients: Kinsale gin and elderflower tonic. DELICIOUS. We also ordered the charcuterie plate, which was filled with delicious meats and dried fruit. The only area of improvement would be the consistency and speed at preparing the drinks. Since we were waiting for a table at Gallagher's, we only had about 30 minutes at the restaurant. However, either due to an inconsistent kitchen or too much care with the food, the drinks and food took quite a while to get out and delayed us from getting to our table by about 20 minutes. Still, I do think this is a good bar to stop by and would do it again!

I ordered the South Wind cocktail which had amazing notes of apricot and grape but packed a boozy punch.

The breading was delicious, not over powering, and perfectly crispy. I tried so hard to finish it all but unfortunately was super full. Maybe I should've skipped the mussels and just gone all in on the fish and chips. The sauce with the fish was tangy and yummy. I think it was tarter sauce but I don't remember.

She told us the menu was tapas style so we order quite a bit! When the food came we noticed the portions were much larger than we were used to for tapas so just an FYI! We started with the oysters, we are from New England USA so these oysters were much meatier than what we are used to, delicious but very filling! The fish tacos were very tasty and the portion size of the fish was very large compared to what we are used to. I would have just gotten the fish tacos if I knew how large they would be. We also got the chargrilled sirloin steak which was very well cooked and the chimichurri sauce was a nice addition. To top us off we did get the house chips with rosemary which were delicious as well. The roasted garlic mayo that accompanied them was very good. The restaurant itself is upstairs from the bar and has a chill vibe.
