We rolled into this place on a Monday around 6pm and were served by a knowledgeable fellow who I recognized from my last trip there. Mussels and sliders were ordered and looked delicious. I didn't have any food this time, but I have eaten dinner here before and I remember the food being above average but nothing mind-blowing. This seemed to be what the others thought of the food this time as well. Solid stuff.
We tried a few of the beers off the beer list. I remember Olivia having a delicious ale of some sort that all of us agreed was the best (comment with the beer if you remember it!), but this was all before we got to taste the highlight of the night: "GOAT session beer" by Mr. Steve Joe.
Okay, actually it was "Classique," and was advertised on the can as a "postmodern beer," whatever that is. When I tasted it, the first thing to pop into my head was "hops," and the second was "superior drinkability." Like more drinkable than Bud Light. Impossible, I know. The waiter agreed, though, telling me that the bone dryness and lightness of the beer makes it easy to drink a lot without getting that sticky, sweet feeling in your mouth. It wasn't long before the table looked like this:
The overall great experience at OL&R this time around was enough for me to give it a 5/5. Solid food, great service, Nina's first outing with us in a couple months, and a fun beer experience. I will be back!
