if we were rating beer selection alone, of course it'd be 5 stars! i'd even give the menu options a 5, too. we visit here frequently for our growler fills and to check out new brews. however the food has been a disappointment :( which really sucks because it looks amazing. on our last visit i splurged and paid the $4 for pork belly on the gnocchi mac and cheese... the cheese sauce i recognized from the pretzel dip, which turned me off for some reason. but the main disappointment here was the overcooked, dry, pork belly meat! i split this with my other half as well as with theelkburger. also sounds amazing, right? but the ordered medium rare meat arrived also overdone... very overdone. i, as well as my other half, agreed that it wasn'telkmeat or at least didn't taste like it.elkhas that distinct gameyelkflavor that i look forward to inelkand it just tasted like crappy beef?? not sure if that was in error or a "blend" is being used. another turn off.. we weren't aware of a specials menu until we saw it on the hostess table on the way out. a bone marrow dish was featured on the top! we love the intriguing menu ideas but feel they are not backed up by the talent or quality product to produce them. we will keep our optimism though!
