Of course, had my Yelp app handy and it found Bar Purlieu for me. I got there right at 4pm when they opened since it was a Friday night, 4th of July weekend so did not know if I was going to get a big crowd since I had no reservations. I ordered the following: House Chianti (excellent)!! regret that I did not take a picture of the bottle ($14) Bone Marrow Appetizer: melt in your mouth delicious ($19) Filet Mignon: delicious, it had a morel mushroom sauce and it was absolutely divine. I got it medium rare and it was perfect ($50) 6 Oyster's: very meaty and you need to ask for fresh horseradish and tabasco sauce. They only have 1 small bottle of tabasco sauce for the whole restaurant and they serve raw oysters... what??? that is insane!!! ($4.50 PER OYSTER-that is insane too but they were nice an meaty). I will definitely be back!!!! Will bring my own Costco size Tabasco sauce

Menu is balanced with a rich variety of local veggies (salads/vegetarian), meat, seafood, and a 4/5/6 course Chef's tasting menu (+ optional wine pairings). EXTRA crisp POMMES FRITES with warm & savory garlic aioli (like Freedom Fries from Macdo in France, upgraded!), paired with a black garlic-seasoned fresh-from-the-farm KNEE DEEP TARTARE atop aioli (little heavy, upside-down) & crisp brioche with crunchy fried shallots sprinkled on top - a fresh & slightly funky take on the the original. Claire had me at "dessert menu," and this PISTACHIO BUTTER PIE has a green moussey pistachio butter that's smooth but nutty between a chocolate-spiced graham crust & top layer of chocolate ganache, pistachios & flake salt. Could I get my triglycerides checked with that?!

We would have stayed longer to enjoy the live music, but the Cava ran out and the other bubbles weren't a fit. We noticed a food truck and outdoor seating and will try our luck again when I return to town. Fairly priced IMHO.

I thank the gentleman for bringing me and my husband a variety as well as the information he provided us about each one. We purchased the Tempranillo, Bradshaw Pinot Noir (my favorite), and the Albariño.

Service is super fast, and the staff is nice. The downside: Their QR ordering platform really wants you to make an account. Without that, it times out quickly (erasing your order-in-work). Also, beer descriptions on the online ordering platform don't include any details on the beers - it won't even tell you the style of beer or ABV. I went inside to take a picture of the tap list so that I could complete my online order. My point of reference is Mammoth Brewing. Their online ordering platform doesn't require an account sign up, but keeps your session open for your entire meal, making it trivial to add stuff as you go, without re-entering your card info. It's low-friction and encourages me to buy more food/drink.

I'll definitely visit again.

I had their kabocha squash salad ($11) along with a roasted salmon onigiri and a lamb curry onigiri ($7 apiece). The salad was a hit and caught me by surprise. It used pureed squash which worked really well with the crunchy pepitas and greens. It was very flavorful and balanced. The salmon onigiri was also very good, but perhaps overshadowed by the star of the show -- the lamb curry onigiri. It was love at first bite, with the powerful savory flavors taking me for a ride and some heat that had me craving the next one. Honestly it is worth the trip just to have one (or five) of these. I got to speak to the chef about how he makes them, and it was obvious that there is a lot of thought and passion given to this food. It's a very nice space and there was good music playing. Food is served until close (currently 10pm) If I could give one suggestion, I would say to dim the lights a bit at night. Overall I am excited to return and work through the entire menu.
