"Eris is a cidery and brewpub with intriguing drinks and “magnificent” environs but the food “isn’t quite their equal in either ambition or scale” according to Mike Sula. The space itself is “consummate for Olympian-style feasting: a cavernous brick-and-steel gilded chamber with tall windows.” Ciders are “all varied and interesting enough to warrant keeping an eye on the place,” such as a “effervescent dry cider positioned as a crowd-pleaser” and a dark-cherry fruit bomb called Blush. On the beer side, nearly two dozen options means “there’s enough variety to keep even the most obsessive zymurgy nerds absorbed.” The complementary food menu offers the usual bites alongside a “smattering of global nods.” There’s posole rojo, “bright and deeply meaty, loaded with chewy hominy, crunchy cabbage and radishes, and a mound of the cider-braised pork.” That pork is “less agreeable on the banh mi,” but a “standout” burger blanketed in cheddar and bacon jam is “simple and substantial.” Other dishes include cassoulet, roasted half chicken with cauliflower puree, and a “dense” peanut butter pie with caramel sauce.” In the end, Sula thinks it’s fine fare, “probably just as good as it needs to be to feed a crowd more interested in the drink than in what it goes down with.”" - Jeffy Mai
