Hands-down one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. Food was great (inventive, flavorful and filling). The minute I walked in, I was hit with the aroma of smoky, barbecue goodness. I learned that it was likely from the chicken sausage made in house; which made my choice of entree an easy choice. I had the Lonza to start, which was tasty like a less salty prosciutto, and served on a baguette fresh out the oven. Note, their bread is done in house as well and is definitely a must have. By far the most inventive dish I had was the braised and fried winter squash. Wow! This was the best combination of sweet, salty, and lightly fried...like squash French fries. I also had a dessert, which was also excellent, which was a pie that had chocolate lighter than fudge. My friend had ordered the pretzel, and I tried that too; I think their bread and pastries must always be a safe bet. Service was excellent. We ate at the bar, and Jessica was not only attentive, despite a fully packed bar, but also super friendly and helpful in steering us on the menu. Plus she threw in a stracciatella ice cream that my friend said was on point. I came during restaurant week, so it was also great value. Three courses for $33 bucks. I'll definitely be back. read more

This review is for Wednesday Burger Night only! Well, it was amazing. 2 patties with some insane cheese on a pretzel bun served with mini-latkes. And a beer and a shot of bitters for $15. Sold. I will be there every Wednesday for as long as they do this. Now I really need too try the rest of the food! Great service, cute little patio, great gem in my neighborhood. read more

What can I say about TDS? It is small, cramped and "okay". They have a nice patio with beautiful lighting but we sat inside at a community table. They were out of the wine we wanted & they brought us the wrong food. Minor details. The actual food was a bit too bland for me. I had the smoked chicken with poached egg. I personally wish it had more flavor- it was too simple. read more

My friend recommended this place so I told my boyfriend that I wanted to go here for my birthday. We ordered some cheeses and meats to share. Everything was really good. The bread was freshly made and delicious. I really wanted to try the liver pate mouse. My boyfriend doesn't like pate so I was "forced" to eat it all myself. It was very light and flavorful. All the drinks were very yummy! I would love to come back for a girls night. The patio was really cute! read more

Really good place, loved everything I got, i was already wasted when I got here. But it is a tasty modern euro experience. i had no idea what to expect, so it was a pleasant surprise everything tasted so good. Duck liver mousse - smooth and creamy, I was blown away by the bread also, it looked like a boner. Water - I drank like 49 glasses because I was drunk and trying desperately to get sober for my date's sake, but to very little avail. She left me tonight, another heart broken. Good fuel for my tears. Waitress - She was nice, took pity on me. Ambiance - think of a greenhouse decorated by a hipster from Eugene, Oregon. Smoked whitefish - tasty and fresh, good mouth feel, if that is a thing. Goat Picnic Plate - Mhmmmmhhmhmhmmmmmmm I wish it was better lit in these fancy pants places, because I cannot tell what kind of good stuff is on the plate until I blindly mop at it with my fork. Would come back for this. I want to come back and get the burger. Two people no booze w/ dessert and tip is $150, for the quality is worth it and i would come back. read more

Meh. This place is overrated and expensive. Although we came here with a gilt city deal, without one this would be ridunkulous. As for the food, it is overhyped and without any cohesiveness. We started off with some charcuterie that included schweinkopf (pig), probably the best part of the meal, smoked trout (it must have been store bought or really old, pretty dry), and cheese. Then moved onto celery soup, which was overpowered by this sauerkraut powder. It had some salami and a fried oyster which wasn't very fresh.. It looked delicious on the menu but in reality it was a let down. For our entrees, we ordered milk braised goat and strip steak. Milk braised goat sounds salivating but it was not. The goat was so dried out, such a let down. TDS really advertised this dish, especially on Instagram. Beautifully presented but the taste was not there.. As for the steak, it was a bit cold, served medium rare but I think they let it rest for a bit too long. This dish was served with black truffles, why I am not sure because truffles are not in season right now. I was right, because the shaved truffles were there but they were definitely tasteless at this point. The best part of that dish were the fried onions and mashed potatoes. Will definitely not be coming back here. The prices are too high for the quality of food and with such a large selection of amazing restaurants in Chicago, why would I be doing this.. Steer clear. As for the service, it was just average. read more

This may be a bit preemptive as we only participated in the preview dinner last week and the meet and greet night with rillettes and baguettes, but the preview dinner we had, which was essentially the current menu, was excellent. If you're vegan, don't bother. Vegetarian, even, your options are very limited. I tend to look at a menu from that standpoint as I've done both lifestyles, and menus can be tricky for you, and that can spoil an otherwise very pleasant dining experience. To be fair, a vegetarian meal may be possible, but any menu that lists the first items as "meat snacks" may be a bit of a turn off for the average vegetarian. That being said, our meal was very well-compiled and diligently explained by our server. The beverage selections are impressive and I love that I now have a place where I can have some European cider, much richer and less sweet than I can often find. The aperitifs are great as well, featuring the local Koval distillery brandy selections that really just stand out in taste and quality. Here is what we had: charcuterie plate- pork rillettes (not my fave as a food, but that's personal preference), pheasant galantine (complex flavor, definitely recommend) and the pigs head (again, a bit fatty for me, but flavor was great). I'm going to try the other offerings next time we go, because they sound fantastic. smoked chicken maultaschen- the maultaschen was delicious, consomme had great flavor but lacked any salt, really didn't love that. We gave that feedback, so it may have changed... otherwise it was very good Polenta- my God this was flavor town and it was an absolute treat. Bacon, gorgonzola, picked peppers and trumpet mushrooms. Almost overwhelmingly good, I practically stole the dish from my man. We fell in love with it, this will be ordered every time. pork sausage, pretzel roll, cauliflower- tasty and well presented. the comte really added to the dish and the cauliflower was a smart complement as well. slagel farms provided the sausage when we went, and fresh is what comes to mind after flavor. we were big fans. sauerbraten of veal breast, braised red cabbage, bubespitzle- STAND out best dish of the meal... the veal was tender but similar to a pulled meat consistency, so not overly buttery, which I prefer. cabbage was perfect, not too overwhelming but very complementary to the veal and the bubespitzle was great, I've never had it before but its essentially a German gnocchi/pierogi style dumpling. the best party of this dish, though, for me, were the very slight amount of crumbled ginger snaps sprinkled on the dish. You are doing a disservice to yourself if you don't order this. I thought the cheese plate was great, obviously it will change really I'm sure, but the cheeses were all really very friendly no matter how adventurous you are with cheese, none were overtly string, even the blue we had. great post-meal, pre-dessert option. my only request would be to use a wildflower honey instead of clover, it would make the plate really complete ... maybe even a house-infused honey? that would knock it out of the park. and dessert. wow. I don't like chocolate much but the pave with pine nut brittle was rich and satisfying. the sourdough apple pudding was rich but light at the same time, and the apple flavor really stood out. this place is worthy of much of the hype. honestly, I expected it to be pricier when the official menu came out, and it isn't nearly as much as expected. great romantic atmosphere, the patio looks really promising for the warmer months, and the staff is welcoming and helpful. if you like east French, west German cuisine, it's a must! We will be back soon for sure. read more

I'm pretty certain that had we eaten in the front of the restaurant - the bar area - this would get at least one more star and maybe even two. Do not eat in the back. You walk in the front bar area and your whole foodie-body says: YEAH!...you identify great bottles of booze - the energy is great - the crowd attractive (at least in this light) - oh - so excited. And then they walk you to the back and it's an entirely different world of bizarrely disturbing lighting (not sure where it came from even but it was horrible...foggy and unnaturally colored). There are communal tables which is fine - but the midwestern sized dude next to me had to ask for a smaller chair so his legs fit. The contrast in the experiences within those few few is jarring. The service was great - passionate, knowledgeable and fun. The drink menu is fun though I didn't love my first signature cocktail - syrupy. The old fashion was better but still a bit thick. We shared some charcuterie - it was recommended and it was nice. Not the nicest in town but good. But then the entrees were not as good - really not that good. We had the monkfish - dull - the veal which was thick and murky - and the goat which was nice. Then we got the bill which was very not nice - mostly because of the drinks - the food is reasonable enough. I would not recommend it because I can't get over the unpleasantness of that horrible back space - needs a serious redesign and I'm just annoyed they put all of the creative energy up front where few get to enjoy it. read more

My GF took me here for a surprise birthday dinner, and I could not have been happier with the choice. If you are a fan of unusual meats (Pheasant Gallantine, beef Tongue etc) you will definitely enjoy this place. The food is definitely unusual compared to the normal new trendy places opening up. Very Logan Square. The service was phenomenal (we didn't realize it until we paid, but they comped us an 18 dollar beer after the table of drunk broads on girls night out shattered a glass of red wine on my foot and didn't apologize). Our server had soda water out to our table before I could even wipe my foot. On top of that, he was incredibly knowledgable about the menu, and provided great recommendations. He had an impressive beard, and I highly recommend asking for him next time you are there. read more

D E L I C I O U S!!! Came here for drinks about a year ago. John is wonderful! Super knowledgeable and just a sweet guy all around. Returned last week with my brother for dinner and it was so so good. We ordered: the Muffato from the cheese menu with rye baguette, the fried squid from the Monday specials, the poached young carrots, and the seared halibut. I don't recall the name of the dessert, but it was just as tasty as everything else. The service is great, the ambiance is relaxing and warm, and the food/drinks are top notch. You cannot go wrong by paying them a visit :) I know I'll be returning for more. read more

I liked Bonsoirée, so this place had been on my list for a long time, and I was excited finally to try it. Unfortunately we had a hugely subpar experience (1/2/16). We were seated in the front window, near the bar, and for at least the first hour of our evening the space was mobbed--there were people standing who kept butting into my date, our table, etc. It was also very loud--we were yelling to hear each other. I am not particularly picky about ambience, but this was RIDICULOUS. The waiter and maitre d' both could sense our chagrin and independently assured us that "this party" would be leaving "within ten minutes." It was clearly not one party--the place was at least fifteen people over reasonable capacity--and the people stayed for an hour or more. I thought it was really disappointing, since they obviously perceived the problem and chose to do nothing about it. The food was okay-to-good, but I can think of about a hundred restaurants in Chicago (at all price points) I'd rather eat at. If I wanted to go to a bar, I wouldn't have made a reservation at a fine-dining restaurant. Really unfortunate. read more

Warm and inviting atmosphere with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Fantastic charcuterie and cocktails. Menu was great from the smaller plates, to the entrees, which were all amazing. Looking forward to returning. read more

The food at Table, Donkey, and Stick is inventive, hearty-but-not-greasy, and involved enough to feel "fancy" without being overly complicated. Their menus online seem to be a bit outdated, but I honestly feel like I could order anything here and leave happy. Favorites, however, were definitely the Wanderteller (specifically the veal brain, Schweinekopf, and smoked Whitefish), the smoked oyster plate (I live on a coast and didn't even realize oysters could be that big), and the pretzel with cauliflower-gruyere dip. And the desserts - oh my. Definitely not an afterthought. The ice creams with caramel corn chicharron all sounded so delicious that it was difficult to choose, and the blueberry basque cake was aesthetically gorgeous. The drink menu is nice here, too - not huge, but well-curated. There are some Chicago favorites like malört and a koval tasting flight, but also some selections that you won't find everywhere, like nice German smoked beer and inventive house cocktails like hot chocolate with chartreuse (I know it sounds questionable but I swear to you it was delicious). Don't get me wrong - Table, Donkey, and Stick was not totally perfect. The decor and service was, as others have said, definitely on the silly hipster side at times (the attentive and nice yet sloppily-plaid-shirted waitstaff, the giant tree trunk hostess stand...).The bathroom is a little dingy relative to the rest of the place and located in a tiny hall where the kitchen and front and back dining rooms meet, making an interesting "traffic" situation. This could easily be a 4-star review, but it's a definite 5 for the value. Four of us got totally stuffed on food, had two drinks each, and the total came out around $160. Can't complain about that. read more

Items Selected: Bacon Steak - Fried Polenta, Gorgonzola, Picked Onion, Mushroom Jus, Poached Egg Fried Chicken - Smoked Potatoes & Corn, Chard, Spicy Aioli, Fried Egg Duck Sausage - Biscuit and Gravy, Caramelized Kale, Poached Egg Peach Coffee Cake - Brandy Whipped Cream and Oat Streusel Pretzel Bread Pudding - Cherry Jam, Lemon Curd, Candied Pecan Originally planned for dinner during my first day in town but later rescheduled to brunch based on a noon-time menu that appeared slightly more interesting than that offered at night it was just after 12:30 that my sister, her fiancée, and I arrived at Table, Donkey and Stick but with the dining room completely empty and only one table seated in back our experience would prove a mixed one at best - the decidedly disinterested service of a questionably stoned server paired with the kitchen's blunt refusal to serve any charcuterie despite its obvious ease of preparation showing an obvious disregard for 'customer service' and thus leaving a bad taste in our mouths despite three excellent savories and a pair of pleasant sweets. Obviously a 'hip' place featuring all the right moves to lure in the trendiest of Logan Square diners with hefty wood tables, exposed ceilings, and brick walls lit by Edison bulbs beneath a soundtrack of 80's pop nostalgia it perhaps should come as no surprise that service at Table, Donkey and Stick is a perfunctory exercise and with a cocktail list nearly as long as the well-culled brunch menu it would take mere moments to craft our order...plus another fifteen minutes to actually place it as our server was self-admittedly (and unapologetically) "chatting" with the table in back as we sat without even water, a young bartender intently polishing glasses and otherwise oblivious to the ongoing abandon. Eventually attended to in an off-hand matter it would fortunately not be long before the otherwise idle kitchen lurched to life in preparing our two-course order and with the trio of savories all arriving as they were readied the skillset of the kitchen and quality of ingredients would thankfully outshine the rest of our experience, each dish a dynamic balance of proteins and local produce prepared with a deft hand and dynamic textures throughout - the tender pork-steak and smooth polenta a particular favorite of the group though the bitter caramelized kale set against fluffy biscuits and gamey duck sausage was quite impressive, as well. Moving next to a duo of sweets it was unfortunately here that the kitchen would falter because as much as the coffee cake would prove reference standard beneath a dollop of aromatic cream the French Toast styled bread pudding would arrive entirely unbalanced with nothing to suggest the savory or saline aspects of a pretzel, the flavor profile instead skewed entirely towards the sweet while excessive amounts of butter rendered the plate far too heavy, a situation that probably could have been remedied by a bit of traditional Kosher salt in the pretzel base or perhaps by stealing a note from the coffee cake and adding a bit of brandy to the excessively sweet fruit. read more

Great Yelp reviews and Chicago Mag's best of 2013 set my expectations for this place. We were celebrating a dear friend's new job and he requested "something out of the norm." We got that in this. The atmosphere is really cool-- a big tree "stump" serves as the host's station to greet you. This is really a "When in Rome" kind of place, because when we tried to order our regular cocktails (e.g., a Belvedere and soda), we were told we could only stick with the specialty drinks on the menu, as they were short on help. Poor planning because this was a Saturday night, packed, and I had made the reservation a month prior. The food was good-- unusual and tasty-- but nothing memorable or that I'd want again. The service was a let down here. Not rude, just inattentive. Had it been a tad more proactive, I would have given this three stars, read more

A-OK sums it up. I wanted to love it, but find that it is just missing something to give it a solid 4 stars. I was drawn to the eclectic menu and the different ambiance. It is a small restaurant so I'd recommend reservations. The ambiance fits with the concept (alpine inn with a French/German mountain cuisine). The wood tables were beautiful although there could be a little more clearance between the table and chairs. Service was great. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. She provided good recommendations and coursed out our meal well. She also made sure to check on us while enjoying the meal or our after dinner drinks, but never felt like she was rushing us. The staff was also quick at cleaning our table and getting it ready for what is coming next. They had a nice selection of beer, cocktails and even the after dinner drinks. I ordered the Adeline cocktail. It very tasty and I ended up ordering a second. My husband ordered the El Burro as he likes spicy. He found that it was a bit unbalanced but this might have been an off drink as our dining companion enjoyed hers. The food ranged from okay to good. We started with some charcuterie/cheese ordering: Smoked Whitefish, Schweinekopf (German pig face), Venison pate and two cheeses Piper's Pyramid and Arpea de Brebis. It also came with the sunflower oat toast. My favorite: the oat toast, the Schweinekopf, and the honey with the cheeses. The okay: the cheeses. I'd skip the Venison pate. I found it to be bland and didn't quite understand the wrapping/shell around the pate. Our appetizer course also included the Potato Latkes, Sweetbreads and Swabian Pretzel. The Potato Latkes with the aioli dipping sauce were hands down my favorite and probably my favorite dish of the night. They were squares pieces that were crisp and firm and the aioli was very tasty. While I am not typically a big fan of Sweetbreads, I enjoyed them and thought the orange sauce provided enough acidity to cut through the richness and balance the dish. The pretzel itself was good. However, the comte sauce lacked a cheese flavor I was expecting and found it to be just okay. We each ordered our main dish and then shared with the table. I ordered the pork which was overall just okay. It was served in dark, somewhat deep bowl like a mini cauldron which fits the theme but makes it difficult to see the food and eat it. The pork itself was cooked perfectly and was very tender. It came with a gutenberg cheese potato gratin and some kale. I liked the kale. I was not a big fan of the cheese potato gratin and found that it wasn't quite all working together as one dish. My husband ordered the Braised Goat Maultaschen. We were a bit surprised when it came out in a pasta shell as we didn't realize at the time that Maultaschen is a German type of filled pasta like Ravioli (a more descriptive menu would probably be helpful but we could have asked more questions). The goat was tender and flavorful. I preferred this entree much better and ended up eating more than just a taste (that was in the vows). However, my favorite entree was my friend's king salmon. The king salmon was delicious and nicely cooked. This would be the dish I would order again. I also tried the slow roasted duck leg. It was okay - the duck was tender and moist but nothing special about the rest of the dish (duck sausage and the accompaniments). It was a pretty good experience and I'm glad to have tried it. However, with many options in Chicago, I can't see myself rushing back. read more

I really, really wanted to love this place. I drooled over the menu for weeks before my girls' night dinner plans here but sadly left feeling let down. I made every attempt to try something new and chose items that I'd never had before specifically to "go big or go home". I'm an adventurous eater so I trusted them to choose a menu that would please. Drink - Kina Mielle = it might've been the Vermouth that made me dislike this one Wanderteller - Duck Liver Mousse = very interesting; salty; not something to eat by the spoonful but I think it'd be good on a sandwich, not sure I would get it again though Pheasant Galantine = normal tasting sliced meat Mountain Gorgonzola = good, moist, but not extraordinary Rye Baguette = good, normal Entree - Rolled Fladle = too much mushroom for me :-( the dough tasted a bit like crepes but overall there was simply too much filling and too many mushrooms on the plate (it was an overload); the lima beans and beets were good though Overall, I was a bit disappointed and resented spending $50 on a meal where I thought I would be in gastronomic heaven. However, the staff was wonderful and the atmosphere is excellent. I may give the food another shot, but so far, round 1 was not good. read more

They call it "Table, Donkey and Stick"; I call it "Beer, Bread, and Duck Liver Mousse". Sitting at the rustic bar, glowing in twinkling lights, letting the polar vortex's summer breeze wrap through the open patio doors is my new favorite way to spend the evening in this part of Logan Square. The ambiance exudes a cozy/hipster/outdoorsy/Brooklyn vibe. It's small yet usually accessible perhaps because the California/Armitage intersection has not quite exploded yet. The tap is well-selected and includes many Chicago-area craft brews like Penrose, Solemn Oath, and more. The smiling young bartenders were eager to discuss, if you fancy yourself an afficionado. The staff goes on brewery field trips-- I'm jealous! As others have mentioned, the hearty and crunchy, in-house baked baquettes with duck liver mousse and an array of domestic and European cheeses are the culinary highlights bringing me back to the Table. read more

Casual spot featuring high quality locally sourced ingredients. The burger patty was very tasty and well portioned but the burger was fairly basic and not even served with condiments. I though the appetizer options were lacking as they were mainly limited to a make your own charcuterie board. Our waiter was cool and funny. read more

We had dinner last night and it was lovely - the rear open patio is protected and quiet and an intimate enough to be quite likable. The food was quite nice - perhaps they are trying to little too hard but it was all intriguing. Our waiter Adam and our bartender were both very knowledgeable about the food and pairings and very earnestly wanted to make sure that we had a lovely evening. For authenticity you also can't beat the kitchen staff who have the appropriate Logan Square kind of look - they look like the incidental drifters and hippie characters from 1970 cop movies. Good food, informal atmosphere, people who care - it works for me I recommend it. read more

Very friendly staff -- the bartender made a custom drink and explained all the spirits patiently. The food was also top notch. Highly recommend! read more

Overall great dinner and ambience, prices a bit high (special occasion). The concept is green and local and I liked that. The service is attentive and friendly. I forgot my scarf and they called me to let me know. The actual restaurant is intimate and romantic. The front of the location has many 2 person tables the back of the restaurant has 3-4 small 2 person tables and 2 large, farm tables. In the winter the tables are cramped with jackets, etc. However, I can see them being comfortable in better weather. The reason why I gave them a 3 star score is because I ordered one item and another was brought out. By the time I got my correct order my husband had already finished his dinner. It's just weird watching someone eat and then have them watching you eat. The waitress and the manager apologized a couple of times but really didn't do anything to make it up. For an appetizer we shared the fried oyster. This small plate was delicious but unfortunately it is a tiny portion (one oyster). We wish we had more. My husband ordered the burger and that was phenomenal: it was well cooked and the taste was definitely there. I ordered the grilled strip loin and that was cooked well. However, the fried onions on top were a bit salty and every time I bit into my strip loin and had fried onions, it made the entire bite salty for me. We ordered two cocktails: the bourbon sour and the Oaxacan old fashion. Both were fantastic and accompanied the dinner fabulously. read more

Sadly, I had really high hopes checking this place out, but it really wasn't a favorite of mine. I went with a group of people on Sunday when they have a pre-fixed menu. I chose the whitefish as my starter, the grits as my second course, and the veal to finish. We also got some of the carrot cake and carrot ice cream and the pretzel puffs with mustard ice cream to share with the whole table. Overall, it was ok. The whitefish seemed a little on the dry side which makes me feel like it was overcooked. Then the grits were a little cold - probably due to the plating since it's a thin layer spread over a wide bowl, and the veal was at least 25% fat. The veal actually was my favorite part. It was really good, rich, but just really fatty. The earlier two items weren't anything that spectacular. However, the bread they gave you was fantastic. I definitely enjoyed that. The dessert was also pretty good. I really enjoyed the pretzel puffs with the mustard ice cream. Different and tasty with a great balance of sweet and salty. The carrot cake and carrot ice cream were a little too sweet for my taste buds, but I can see why people really like that too. Overall ambiance and service is great. The staff is attentive, easily accessible, and I think the back area during the summer would be beautiful for outdoor seating. Overall though, the food was only at a 2-star rating. read more

Very good food, a friendly staff and a nice accessible bar. Coming in on a weeknight is very pleasant, the crowd is just the right size and shape.The alpine burger with the mini latkes gets the award for best value on menu, the rest is a bit pricey but generally worth it. I had the grilled pork entree which I highly recommend. The sturgeon was great as was the blood sausage starter. Their manhatterhorn cocktail is delicious. read more

I had high expectations for this restaurants after seeing Yelp reviews and general impressions on other websites. We were a group of 10 people and we occupied half of the restaurant's main room in the back. The atmosphere and level of noise were great for a good conversation. Service was good too. Unfortunately, both of these two elements were completely offset by the terrible food. The grit and the scallops were barely edible, while the smoked white fish was disappointing and the veal was just ok. Avoid. read more

We sat at the bar and it was great, a little squished, but overall a great atmosphere. You have to try some of the meats and cheeses with a baguette and their house made butter--it was so good! I've heard mixed reviews from others on the food but we went during Restaurant Week so we had a good deal (appetizer + entree). read more

Really really delicious. I live extremely close to this place and was excited to give it a shot (once I figured out where it was, they could use a better sign). We went over early (6ish) without a reservation and were seated right away. We tried the pheasant with one of the cheeses, the local greens salad, the burger and the smoked chicken sandwich. Everything was excellent. We took the staff's suggestions on the meat and cheese and were not disappointed! Loved the service and the vibe at this place. The building itself is a little awkward but they are doing what they can with the space. I can't wait to go again and try out the back patio. read more

I absolutely love this place! Their baguette and charcuterie plate (pork rillette, anyone?) are incredible and their wine list has a ton of French favorites with a couple surprises from Slovenia and Austria thrown in. Food is always delicious and freshly prepared. However, this review is (mostly) for their service. Both times that I have been, the service has been outstanding. It's as if going above and beyond is their norm! Their attention to detail and thoughtful recommendations highlight that this restaurant has servers who are invested and happy with their work. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Really enjoyed my experience here! We ordered a charcuterie plate with 3 different meats and cheeses. The schweinekopf was delicious and the fresh bread went perfectly with everything. I had the duck ballottine for my entree which was also very well prepared. Overall, great service, delicious craft cocktails and food. I will definitely visit again soon! read more

Wanted so much to love this place, but... just didn't. Came here for dinner on a Saturday night with a friend. LOCATION: The place is very easy to miss (my friend's Uber circled the block a few times because they just couldn't find it). It will look sketchy and it will be look like it's in the middle of nowhere - that's ok. That's how you know you're in the right place. As soon as you enter, the space is VERY cramped. You immediately come up to a small bar that seats maybe 5-7 comfortably, but is usually crowded with at least twice that many people. The hostess stand is a tree stump that backs up into two tables, so there's really nowhere to wait. Made for a very uncomfortable experience while our table was being prepared. FOOD: We ordered the braised and fried winter squash (probably my favorite), smoked chicken sausage, and one other dish I can't remember (it was vegetable-based, but had tuna in it). Overall, the food was all fine, but none of it really stood out to me. They are all unique combinations, but just wasn't my taste. Also to note - every dish was much spicier than I was anticipating (which didn't seem to fit the cuisine?). Not a big deal, but added to the oddity of the dishes. SERVICE: Service was fine. Our water glasses were constantly refilled (thank goodness because they are SO TINY). Our server was relatively knowledgeable. We were seated at a communal dining table which wasn't a big deal. So overall, it was fine. Might be worth trying it the menu piques your interest, but it is a very particular cuisine that just isn't for everyone. read more

Had a fantastic experience here on Friday night. It was pretty easy to get a reservation two days in advance, and we got sat immediately. They do have communal tables, so if you don't like that - this isn't the place for you. The duck liver mousse and cheese were amazing and really filing - they make their own bread (which is delicious). We also started with the pretzel, and the cheese sauce is amazing. We shared the halibut at the recommendation of the waiter, and I'm glad we did. We were incredibly full! I wish we had saved room for the pretzel bread pudding, it looked amazing. I'll definitely come back, and hopefully snag a patio spot on a nice night. read more

I went with a group of girlfriends and we decided to order our own dishes instead of sharing. My experience may have been different if we opted to order together and share so maybe this review will change if I end up going back. In any case, I ordered The Apothecary as my poison for the night. I was in an absinthe mood so it was exciting to see the option on the mixed spirit menu. The green drink was served cold in what looked to be a cute tea cup. It was tiny. I'm a huge fan of strong drinks so I didn't mind paying $14 for a 5 ounce drink (assuming that it was of that size) so long as my buzz will stay the entire night - it was a close try. --- 4/5 I ordered the Slow Cooked Duck Leg as my entree and was unfortunately disappointed, mildly. Maybe it was the dim lighting and it was difficult to visually see what my dish was composed of, but when I read an entree title of that sort, by golly, I expect some meat on a bone. Instead, there were pieces of meat (unfortunately, a scarce amount) along side an overwhelming ratio of duck sausage. To be fair, the duck sausage was the first food listed after the entree title, but overall, for a big duck lover as myself, the Slow Cooked Duck Leg wasn't what I was expecting in the least; especially for $27. Maybe the duck leg bone and duck meat missed my plate, maybe I missed it with my eyes (and fork), or maybe I ate it and didn't realize it - who knows! --- 3/5 There were 6 in our party so the restaurant called my friend (who made the reservation) a couple of times before we came in; understandable. Our waitress was happy to split checks which is always a plus! And the ambiance and lighting of the room was intimate but still allowed for friendly conversation. There's a decent chance that I'll come back to try other options on the menu, but it may not be for quite some time. They have a outdoor back area so possibly during the warmer part of the year! Overall, I would give a 3.5 stars if I could. read more

So I get that this is 'weird woodsy food'. Well, I happen to like weird and I'm pretty peachy on woodsy. Came here the other night with the boo thang, and holy smokes, what an amazing experience. We had some cash to spare (makin' it drizzle, y'all), and I'd been dying to try this spot out since they converted from the last fancy-pants restaurant. I was not disappointed. We had the starter combination- the duck live mousse, pheasant galantine, and an amazing Wisconsin cheese with oat bread. FOR SEVENTEEN DOLLARS? Lovin' it. So fresh, meticulously presented, and honestly? Could have made a meal out of that. However, the fat kid in me (and curiosity to try EVERYTHING ELSE) made us order a small plates and an entree. We split the golden beet borscht, crispy tripe and Alpine burger. All of it was out of this world. I'm a borscht snob (peasant food forever) and this was easily the best I have ever had. Served cold with a gorgeous beef tartare, pecans and tarragon, it took me to my happy-polish-fueled-place. The crispy tripe was severed with house made giardinera- only complaint was that I wanted more of the spicy! For those that aren't keen on triple, give this a try- balanced, earthy, crispy and not in the least acidic. Texture and presentation was killer. The crown jewel was the Alpine burger though- melt-in-your-mouth, served with apple compote and a delicious mystery sauce and MINI LATKES! What a weird, delicious, woodsy journey indeed. Also, the cocktails, service and ambiance were on par. Can't wait to visit again for half priced cheese after 9pm! read more

Popped in for the first time for a quick brunch. Have been meaning to go there for a while but never got round to it. Firstly, Brunch menu looked exquisite. The mixtures of foods and flavours were just fresh and exciting. I was pretty spoiled for choice. I did end up picking the duck sausage, which was very flavourful, fresh and the biscuit had just the right amount of crumble in it. Service was outstanding friendly, accommodating and down to earth. Will be coming back for more! Great job TD&S! read more

Great place! Fun atmosphere, although the space is quite small. The good people at TD&S were kind enough to seat me without a reservation, although they informed me that I needed to be out in an hour due to others with resos. The pretzel with the cauliflower comte is a MUST! So simple, but one of my favorite dishes of the night. The chacuterie is also fantastic, I highly recommend the duck country pate and the salami. The rabbit dish was phenomenal. I will definitely be back! read more

We made a reservation for 5:15. Empty restaurant, but we enjoyed the prompt service. We had the duck mousse charcuterie - highly recommend. The baked winter squash was excellent with the peanut chili sauce. The peasant croquette was also unique and something we probably wouldn't be able to experience elsewhere. Torn between the duck, but for our main entree, we definitely enjoyed the pork shoulder with radish and oyster mushrooms. Overall, three charcuteries, two appetizers and one entree were more than enough food for two. I'd say one less appetizer would have been the perfect amount of food for us. Enjoy! read more

See all

Portion size left something to be desired. We split the pretzel pretty tasty and only $8. Ordered 2 co tailed Manhattanador and the punch both were pretty good. Food peer leg of lamb and the white fish, the fish was a bigger portion. But the leg of lamb was 5 small pieces and 6 pieces of asparagus and 3 slices of poppy seed bread. Left me wanting a eat! Which is sad considering we paid 105 and both left hungry. Might not be much for some, but it was enough that I expected to leave feeling full. Staff was attentive, fun, but not super talkative about food or options.... We probably would not return any time soon and wouldn't really recommend it to friends either. at least we would warn then about small portions. read more

Kind staff, good food and made to order specialty cocktails. I asked for something with citrus, floral, and vodka. I got an amazing elder flower lemon vodka cocktail. Refreshing on a hot summer night. *dancing girl emoji* Also, the Alpine Burger is delicious. Horseradish and apple chutney are an interesting combination that totally works. My only complaint is that they serve Grappa and Amari from Italy... but no espresso... Those digestivi are made to go with espresso... so, having one without the other is... well... it's kind of stupid actually. Overall it is a great place for dinner... that is if you can stand the rather annoying elitist hipster crowed talking about how they want to name their unborn child Armageddon and call him "army" for short. I am guessing it was a joke, but one can never be too sure when it comes to this sort of thing. read more

Really wonderful cocktails - both for fans of classic and fans of creative mixology. Charcuterie and small plates are excellent as well. Service is top notch and many of us in Logan are regulars. Double thumbs up for the Sunday they had a bbq rib special with homemade rootbeer glaze. read more

Table, Donkey and Stick is a wonderful dinner spot. Really intimate for dates and fun for a group as well. Both times I have been here I have had a couple cocktails. My favorites are the Equinox, the Liza Minnelli, and the quarter after. For apps, you MUST try the duck liver mousse. Sounds strange, but it is so creamy and delightful. The rye baguette they serve it with is hot and perfectly crumbly. The cheese are all amazing, who doesn't love cheese? They change their entree menu quite frequently, which always makes it a fun surprise to see the menu each time. All the food is phenomenal, the waitstaff is outstanding. It's a must go to!!!!!! read more
