Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Jean

Decent BBQ in a good location. The prices are a bit high but made up for by generous portions.

Pre-movie dinner at the bar. As is typical, I had had menu items already selected before arrival, only to be derailed by the new and limited once actually in the restaurant. Was sold on the Featured Cocktail, Beowulf ($18; named by Cami), because black walnut and honey. Incredibly smooth, rich rounded taste. One of the new fall/winter menu items was the Green Apple + Red Endive ($21): A salad which pinged every part of the tongue, as long as the forkful managed to spear every type of ingredient. A tasty sensory exploration. Salty, fatty, crisp, crunchy, sweet, sharp. Was interested in trying the special sake and so, after a glowing description from Drew, opted for the Wild Boar Lasagna ($28) as pair. But before the dish arrived, I got a wee taste of Kikuhime Kukurihime Daiginjo Sake so switched to that liquid instead ($35 for 4 oz). Lasagna: Incredible. Multiple layers of perfect pasta interlaced with succulent rich (but not heavy or cloying) meat in a shallow pour of earthy salty sweet sauce, with an extra cheesy punch from the foamy topping. The edges had been described upon delivery as like those of brownies, and did have that extra crispiness and depth of savory flavor. I mopped the plate. Finished with the Creamy Bitter Boozy ($16): A great balanced sipper to end the meal. Value: Fine to me, although a couple of my choices may be viewed as even more budget-busting than usual. Atmosphere: Relatively subdued for Sparrow + Wolf, with the bar not as packed as it usually is, but still energetic. Very friendly seatmates. Service: One of the highlights of the meal, led by Drew. Attentive, with informative stories on the background of various food and drink, enhancing an already amazing dinner.

Nice Food and Atmosphere. But the Beerprice is way over the top. 21,50 for a Maß (1liter) is way to much. Its even 33% over the Price on Original Oktoberfest in Munich.

We enjoyed our dinner, the brisket grilled cheese was delicious!

Fantastic view from the rooftop bar. We were there for Monday night football in early December and they had plenty of TVs, heaters, and fire pits. Food was great, especially the flatbread! We will be back!
