We sat at the bar for food and drinks. Our bartender was attentive, great at making drinks, and was friendly. The food was a bit overpriced. I usually don’t drink alcohol but the “two cents fancy” was my cup of tea (or rather, alcohol); it was carbonated, slightly sweet, and not bitter. My partner had two other drinks that he enjoyed. We got the cheese sandwich, bone marrow toast, and the Wilkinson for dessert. The cheese sandwich came with fries and had sharp cheese and apple slices in it. The bone marrow toast came with a mix of parsley and shallots. The bone marrow wasn’t as flavorful as I was expecting, but the shallot mix helped give the flavor boost it needed. The Wilkinson was a dessert consisting of fried balls of dough that came with a rum-caramel sauce that should have came with a warning about how hot the sauce was. Besides burning my tongue, it was good (though I’ve had better fritters before). The oysters were my favorite part of the night - not too salty, but with three different stages of flavors, starting with a mild note, transitioning to a more savory taste, ending with a seafoody flavor.
We had an absolutely delightful waiter who gave some amazing recommendations. The oysters and bone marrow were real crowd pleasers. I wish I could have bone marrow toast for breakfast every morning. I feel like bone marrow toast could be the elixir of youth. It feels like I'm reverse aging whenever while eating. The oysters were delightful and well curated. The wine was funky, acidic and paired well with the treats. Anyway. I'll be going back!
Great spot for elevated pub food in cozy, vibey digs. Delicious food and excellent cocktails with reasonable prices. This place has become a staple that my boyfriend and I frequent. We are lucky to have Henry Public in the neighborhood!
