look at this guy…
niche is nice, taste is cool, but brasserie kicks ass.
both eating and drinking at the youngest brain child of gerard craft, brasserie in the west end, has been nothing short of amazing. i am beginning to believe that the marriage of craft and his apprentice, perry hendrix, has created a restaurant full of the engagement and excitement of youth – but backed up by the wisdom of experience. this is a partnership that can’t be taken for granted.
i recommend the roasted chicken and the short ribs….
and it is worth a mention, brasserie is beginning to give my once favorite place to have a fancy cocktail (monarch with nate selsor) a run for it $10 cocktail. michelle, the head lady of mixology, has not only an amazing palate for liquor, but an understated and unassuming knack for mixing them perfectly. ask her anything, and with a shy smile she will spew tons of facts and opinions your way.
