We met some friends in Midtown at Ormsby's for a night out. What a neat tucked-away restaurant. There is a long bar upstairs and many booths and tables. But, my greatest surprise came after dinner when our friends suggested we go get a drink downstairs. We walked down the stairway in the middle of the restaurant to find a "basement" bar. It wasn't some trendy, get dressed up to go to bar - NO! It was a REAL bar! There were dart boards, bocce, pool, shuffleboards and even backgammon. What a great place to hang out...too bad we were on a time limit this time!
Now, for the food and drink (upstairs)...it was really good. Here is what we ate:
Appetizers:
Calamari - It was cooked perfectly. To Dave's surprise, they also fry up lemon slices and mix it in with the calamari. A great taste together - a little bitter by itself. Also, on the platter were small, diced, fried jalapenos - spicy!!
Hummus with pita - This was yummy!!
Entrees:
Fish and Chips - Dave ordered this and says that the fish was the best he had ever had on a fish and chips platter.
The Bruno Burger - This is a hamburger topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms, and provolone. A great burger!
Atmosphere - HIT! HIT! HIT!
Food - HIT!
Price - HIT!
Service - HIT!
