The food here is fantastic. I had the Pear & Pecan arugula salad with goat cheese. The dressing paired so well with the ingredients of the salad. The red pepper sauce on the salmon dish was excellent, and tied the dish together nicely. The salmon was well seasoned and went great with the farro.
I will say that I went around 515 on a Saturday night. I sat at the bar by myself for a bite to eat and a drink or 2 before heading back home. The restaurant was busy, but to sit for 20-30 minutes with no drink while both bartenders served the rest of the guests at the bar was a bit confusing. Especially since the group of ladies sitting right next to me were served 2 rounds of drinks while I continued to be ignored. One of the bartenders even took my empty glass and plates, but did not offer me anything else to drink- as I watched him make drinks for the rest of the people at the bar. I was dying to try the Midnight Cowboy (a reposado espresso martini) but after clearly being ignored for quite some time, I left and went elsewhere.
The food and one drink I had were quite good, but if you’re looking for even the most basic level of service you...
Read moreThink this was our third or fourth visit to Endswell. That statement alone probably tells you most of what you need to know. But I can go into more detail... Their cocktails have always been fantastic, like they could exist solely as a cocktail bar. They're that good. Tonight we had the Canelle and the Noir. The Noir was a very well balanced boozy number, ideal for whiskey or bourbon fans. The Canelle is a little harder to pin down taste-wise, kinda refreshing and kinda bitter, but suffice to say it was good. We had the Sucette Drumsticks to start which were frickin' delicious, cooked to perfection and super flavor. For entrees, I chose the Smoked Porcini Risotto and my partner chose the Burger. The presentation of the risotto was a little odd as you'll see in the photo. Weird very wide-rimmed bowl made it appear to be a tiny serving but it was actually plenty and it tasted amazing, the smokiness level was perfect and it was super creamy. My partner thoroughly enjoyed her burger and fries as well. All in all, a great meal. Lastly, the servers were very friendly and attentive. Super service! We'll be back to explore the...
Read moreOne of the few places open late on a Sunday night. Romantic open setting with dim lights and lots of hanging wall plants (even in the bathroom!). The bar looked amazing. The staff was so cheerful and accomodating.
Drinks- I enjoyed a delightful French 75. My 2nd drink which our server (also bartender) improvised was made with a white egg drink. I loved that one even better.
Food- Started out by sharing the summer salad. Light and simple. Made with arugula, goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, honey roasted rainbow carrots covered with balsamic and blood orange vinaigrette. Our entrees arrived with a great presentation. I loved the pan roasted salmon, served with farro. The roasted red pepper sauce was wonderful. The farro was well made and the salmon had a nice sear. My husband ordered the steak frites. Perfect medium rare hanger steak covered in red wine reduction. It arrived in a good portion size. Fries were well seasoned and had a good crunch.
Overall, great date spot. They had well crafted cocktails and delicious dishes. Will...
