stir crazy is the wine bar she’s shitting on

Which is crazy, as it’s quite solid. I feel like most of the reviews I’ve read from her have all had some lace of vitriol for other establishments, and much is too focused on what she considers a “good” price point. Stoked vin folk is getting the accolade they deserve, but this writing sucks

I like both vin folk and stir crazy. Stir crazy is definitely becoming more of a restaurant and less wine bar with snacks. Vin Folk strikes me as a restaurant with a great wine list.
Both have a place in my heart.

Following up stopped into vin tonight and had a stellar meal. A spring pea chawanmushi made me forget how tired of chawanmushi I am. Delightful.
The head cheese toasts are stupidly good. Beef tongue amazing too.
White chocolate elderflower soufflé dessert also killer.
I will say they shot prices up a ton since last time but I ain’t mad
