To be frank, wasn't particularly impressed by this place at all. It's a small joint with a cute vibe; the servers are all dressed in mustard yellow clothing with a distinctly hipster vibe. The snack bar specializes in exactly what its name states - small bites and alcohol.
I ordered the beef tartare to snack on, as I wasn't feeling too hungry. My friends ordered the special of the day (chicken dumpling), KFC (Korean fried chicken), falafel burger, and general Tso'fu. The menu said that the beef tartare could come on toast or lettuce hearts; however, the waiter serving me said that they couldn't accommodate half lettuce / half toast. I therefore got it on lettuce, and was very disappointed as a result.
The tartare was small to begin with, but when served on the lettuce leaf, it was unbelievably tiny. A couple bites for $8 was just insane! The tartare was good, but nothing extraordinary.
A funny story - My vegetarian friend clarified whether the two plates she ordered contained meat, and was told no. One plate was served in front of her, and by its fried appearance, she automatically assumed it was the general tso'fu. Halfway through it, we were very surprised by the resemblance of its texture to that of meat.
Friend: "Tania, taste it! Doesn't it taste like meat? Impressive."
Me: "Yeah, holy! Doesn't seem like tofu at all! Almost like the fake seitan meat - "
Server: "And here's the general tso'fu!" -places dish on table-
Anyway, the general tso'fu and KFC were both quite good bites. Both were fairly crispy, though I found the tofu to be too sweet. The caramelized shell was thick and overly sugary.
Overall, a cute place but too overpriced.
