Besides, West Street Grill's James O'Shea has already been spotted here. Little-brother bar at big popular bistro kicks it up a notch with midweek specials. But everyone agrees that the food is fine. Intimate it ain't. Maybe butternut squash bisque, Tuscan bruschetta and tossed salad, followed by veal piccata, zuppa de pesce or broiled swordfish, then tira misu or apple crisp.
Some diners carry in coolers that are stocked with beer, wine or whiskey sours.
From 5 p.m. till closing, it's a jungle out there, a party in here. Open Thursday through Sunday. Pile another plate with bratwurst, bauernwurst and sauerkraut. Swing into the home stretch with roast pork, sauerbraten, spaetzle and red cabbage. Dive into appropriately Alpine desserts.
