what a treat! we went for drinks & nibbles in the bar at the dutch last night (2nd time), and it was fantastic. it was crowded (good bar scene) when we arrived, but we found some space and settled in.
the cocktails:
their cocktail menu was designed by their bartender naren, and the combinations are interesting and work so well together. the boys behind the bar put so much care into making the drinks - it's fun to watch.
- dutch courage - a touch sweet for my taste but i appreciated the tart/sweet flavors with the salted rim!
- sullivan street fix up - LOVE! especially the thyme garnish... leave it in the drink and as you sip, take in the yummy thyme smell - it really works.
the food: everything we ordered was delicious, and added bonus, andrew carmellini was in the house!
- seafood ceviche - fantastic... it has a slight spicy kick, so good.
- melon arugula salad - dressed perfectly, so yummy
- shrimp & fried green tomatoes - the shrimp was so perfectly cooked and the pepper sauce... mmm
- hiramasa - very simple, raw slices of yellowtail, clean...
(on my previous visit we also had the fried oyster sandwiches, they're bite size and amazing; i could probably eat 20 of them. we also had the asian white boy ribs, but the boys devoured them so quickly, i didnt even have a taste.)
some boys at a table in the bar room were eating the fried chicken, and it looked & smelled so good, i almost sat down with them to take a bite. it was late... i dont think they wouldve minded... next time!
