Somni was not on my list for our birthday boy for this reason.

Right. Ooops. Apparently you did.
My reading skills are not what they once were.

I know, but it had to be mentioned :slight_smile:

Went to Odys and Penelope for the first time recently. Was not impressed even though I really wanted to be. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great. Cheese puffs were doughy; wild mushrooms were great, but the branzino was fishy, and my burger wasn’t worth eating - it fell apart after two bites and the beef wasn’t beefy. Dessert was fantastic though. Two out of five is good for baseball, but not for a high-end restaurant.
Happy almost birthday Nemroz!

Best for drinks and dessert. The food has been so so and the brunch is pricey and meh. I wouldn’t waste a full meal here, let alone a BDay occasion.

I had a great meal. They’re open seven days so there may be nights when you get the B team.

Could very well be. We went with a friend for the Sunday night supper. Short ribs weren’t available, IIRC they are a Tuesday night special. All in all it was a bust although they did comp my largely uneaten burger.

:heart:

We have a 6 y.o. grand-boy. His other grand set up a deal with him that every time he has tried ten new foods she takes him to get a toy. I was asked to verify that he had squid as well as a little suck on a chicken foot. I think it’s a pretty brilliant idea.

Have a super time.

Turkey smoke is no joke.

I wonder what a six year old would think of Vespertine. You should take him @Nemroz!

For my money, it would be Republique without a doubt. Just make sure you get a table in the back room or upstairs.
