St John's Meeting Place

We had a quick dinner out tonight, all three of us. I failed to take any pictures, but the dinner experience was mostly pleasant. 

The Meeting Place is a nuevo bistro concept, and is next door to its more fancy sibling St John's. 

The menu is printed daily, with drinks on one face and the food items on the other. There is a more robust, separate seasonal wine list.

The menu features a number of "small plates", salads, and a few entree sized options.

With ramps in season, they found their way into several plates. We started with fried ramps (they came out very tempura like), a shitake mushroom and goat cheese salad, and some cheese fries.  Yes, cheese fries. They were a hit with the boy.

Mi esposa had a Stella Artois and I tried one of their feature cocktails featuring gin and several citrus juices.

We should have called it done for the night, but there was a "chicken biscuit" item on the menu that was calling out to us...it was interesting, but maybe a little over done.

Overall, dinner was great, and both the space and the service added value. 

I would go back, maybe without the kid so the adults could linger a bit.
