Popping in at 5:30 on a Thursday, I expected to find more Uptowners kicking off their weekend with a pint. But the restaurant wasn't crowded, just a solid handful of folks at the bar and a few other couples here and there wandering in for a bite or a beer.
Several draught choices, including solid local favorites like Indeed's Day Tripper and Fulton's Sweet Child of Vine, made for easy pickings beer-wise. Morrissey's is a whiskey bar, but I didn't test any of their offerings this time around. The heat seemed to call for beer and tall glasses of ice water.
We started with the smoked salmon bites appetizer, which was a great, light way to kick off a shared meal. If I'd been dining alone, I could have easily (and happily) eaten this dish as my entree. Four boxty (that's thin, crispy potatoes, like a really flat and stiff hashbrown) are topped with smoked salmon, capers, and a horseradish sauce. If you're looking for an easy starter to share or a lighter meal, this would be a solid choice.
We then split the Irish breakfast, which included everything you'd expect of a respectable breakfast dish from the Isles, eggs, bangers (sausage), potato bread, chips (that's fries, y'all), grilled tomato, beans. The breakfast is served all day, so feel free to indulge in your breakfast hankering at any time.
