Love bar food? Free for dinner on 2/28?

Burgers: check. Fried rice: check. Garlic chicken: check. Sound good? Let’s go eat!


By Mari Taketa on February 15, 2012

When a bar opens boasting of good eats, I don’t care who’s throwing darts or who’s checking out the draft beers. I realize these diversions make people happy, but I’m happily planted at a table, ordering plate after plate and chowing it down.

Is the food mind-blowing? Over-hyped? Legit? Can you help me eat and find out? Nonstop’s next open-invite review takes place at a new bar in town, and having sampled my way through seven plates already, I promise you this is worthy of a stop.

If you’re free for dinner on Tuesday, Feb. 28, please come. Nonstop open-invite reviews are straight-up eatfests, occasions for us to get together with readers and eat our way through as much of the menu as we can.

Ground rules? We all split plates, taste whatever we want, divide the bill evenly and pick up our own drink tabs. The only requirements are an open palate and a willingness to share. Here are the details:

What: Local-American-Asian fusion fare
When: Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 6 p.m.
Where: In town (I’ll email you the address)
Parking: On site

Cost? Judging from my first visit, with hefty eaters/light drinkers, plan on about $25 to $30 per person including tax and tip; more if you order multiple drinks.

And don’t worry, this isn’t a dive in a down-market neighborhood.

If you can make it, please RSVP by leaving a comment on this blog. Hope to see you there!

i love eating at a bar too. that's why i like tapas bars, and fish & chips pubs, and ramen joint, and sushi bars where the food goes round on a little conveyer belt.. i think it's because i grew up in one of those mid-century houses with a 'breakfast bar'. it's the informality, the chance of meeting strangers over something better than alcohol. you never know when you might be sitting next to a pushy, size zero broad with a great haircut and a great resume who is spooning down the durian pods. life is like that;. full of pleasant surprises.

turkfontaine i hope one of these yrs u make it over here. p.s. thnx for noticing my haircut :)
