We were here on Sat August 4th with a party of four. We opted for the Carbon Bar Experience, a meal which included all courses. The Chef s decided what apps, mid, main and desserts come out.
Our sever was awesome. She had a great handle on the wine menu and explained the food dishes as they came out. Over all the Experience was excellent. The hush puppies were great, the Shishito peppers were pretty good and the Korean fried cauliflower may as well have been the best chicken wings you ve ever had and these were just the snacks.
As apps we had the Mahi Mahi fish which we all felt was very mediocre. This was served with a wedge Caesar Salad, which essentially is a wedge of romaine with caesar dressing and some bacon on top. Tasty, but not earth shattering. And lastly the duck taco s were we re quite nice.
Next we had the Pitmaster Platter which really is the best BBQ you ll find in the city. It comes with smoked brisket, St. Louis (side) pork ribs, buttermilk fried chicken, fries, collared greens, and coleslaw. This main comes with dipping sauces for the meat but you ll only ruin the meat by dipping. The meat is seasoned and prepared too perfectly to add anything.
And finally we had the dessert, a nice platter of sweet chocolate, caramel and creamy things which my wife loved. I m not a big dessert guy, but I had a little taste and it was good.
We sat near the bar with a view out into Queen street and enjoyed the atmosphere.
At $69/person it was a bit steep, but we really did enjoy a terrific meal with friends.
