Looks great. Can’t wait for this place to open. Hopefully it will encourage others to do the same.

Mmmm… onion rings! Looks delicious.

what happened to the lamb chops that were posted on an earlier version of the menu?…..LAMBCHOPS please!

i am so NOT crazy about the menu…i really have to wonder what they were thinking when they put it together. it’s odd and not all that interesting……

I really wish them all the best. The first two or three items on here sound great.

That said, as long as we’re complaining, I don’t understand why a restaurant in New York City wouldn’t have at least one vegetarian entree. I mean, I’m not expecting a restaurant called the Ox Cart to win any vegan menu of the year honors, but we have a number of vegetarian friends, and it’s nice when we go out for everyone to be able to eat a full meal, instead of picking and choosing from appetizers.

This looks to me like a very enticing menu, and might bring me, with friends and/or family in tow, to this quaint corner spot on “my side” of the neighborhood much more often than the restaurant’s previous incarnation did.

I stopped frequenting Pomme de Terre after I went there for brunch and they were completely out of Bacon. (Leaving me and the others at my table with the intense culinary quandry: “how can you allow your restaurant to run out of Bacon during brunch???” It wasn’t busy nor was it late in the weekend.)

I have my fingers crossed that similar lapses in organization do not plague this new attempt at what I hope will be a continued trend-setting institution on Newkirk Ave. Good luck, guys! I know this menu, over the next months, will be just the beginning!

I just hope their hours of operation will accommodate those readers who have to commute to Manhattan early in the morning . . . .

I’m sorry, my comment was a bit more bitchy than it needed to be, Bean. I’m not trying to be an asshole. And I have no right to be holier-than-thou about people who leave meaningless comments on blogs when mine are just as meaningless. I just find the internet to be such an appallingly silly place sometimes. But so is the inside of my head, I suppose.

And with that, I bow out of the blog commenting business. Peace and happiness to you all.

Obviously the menu is comprised to offer a contemporary twist on classic American/Euro pub food as this is going to be a place devoted more to the drinking than the culinary offerings.

Albeit this menu is totally not for everyone, that is to be expected with a tiny menu devoted to the aforementioned theme. It looks pretty delicious anyway if you ask me and seems to offer something different to folks in the hood. PDT was also indeed different, but was deemed a failure, so it’s natural to venture in a totally different direction.

P.S. I anticipate the menu will adapt early on if there are severe troubles.

This is still a major bring down from PDT, no matter how you slice the bologna.

I’m going to check this place out for the duck confit pot pie alone. How could that not be good?

@4TheLoveOfGod: i get it. it’s a pub. i love to eat out. i am happy to spread the love over multiple eating establishments so that they thrive and prosper. i don’t mind that anyone else orders all-fried app, main and even a fried frozen milkyway for dessert. but i don’t and won’t eat that way anymore. will i eat a burger? you betcha. with plain salad on the side. i lost 35 pounds over the past 2 years and my health got increasingly better (if you read my blog you know that i am a bc survivor). i’m not pissy or holier-than-thou about eating healthy. and i’ve been known to indulge in a few fries off my husband’s plate. but almost everything on that menu screamed fried or buttered or cheesed. it just is a big turn-off for me. i’d rather have a great simple pan-roasted chicken, good veggies and indulge in a big beer with dinner than eat a bunch of fried or buttery food. i’d love to help them stay open…we frequented pdt a lot. i’ll have to spread the patron-$-love elsewhere.
have a soft pretzel with cheese sauce and a duck confit pot pie for me!
