Nick Badovinus really got this one right. Neighborhood Services pretty much rocks. Great vibe, cool space, satisfying food - and a packed house. I have been trying to get back there and add more snaps to this post - but here is the meal I had a couple months ago:
Had to get here pretty early - you rarely see the place this empty. I'm all up in the new St. Germain liqueur, so I ordered this thing: the Beauty School Dropout - yeah - it's a Chick Drink for sure... a bit much for me - dang.... "the wine list, please?"
^ Roasted Green Chile Crab Dip - terrific - and the accompanying Salsa was REALLY good as well. And the Crabmeat and Avocado Salad.
^ Berkshire Bacon & Over EZ Egg w/ Brioche Toast, and my half the Butchers Block Burger (Niman ground chuck & brisket). And I was ALL about the side of "Secret Sauce."
From the daily "Iconic Fresh Noodles," Chicken Piccata over Pappardelle - delicious. Then they hit ya with the bill, and some Junior Mints!
I want to get back and start trying the "Nightly Plates," not available as of my last visit. There is considerable buzz about this joint - and it delivers. I really dig it. Great concept, and yummy food. If it was so easy, everybody would be doing it.
, it was paid for with Cold Hard Cash, and that's that.
Sounds yummy! Junior Mints are an interesting choice for post-meal freebie... What was the dessert menu like?
