I went with a couple of friends to The Brewer's Art last night for a New Year's Eve eve dinner. It seems sensible to go out and do a little bit of celebrating before the drink drivers hit the roads tonight.
In any event, it was a disappointing meal. I started with a Provencal bean dip, then a Caesar salad, and then a dish of Steak Frites. I brought a very nice 1998 Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon to drink and that at least met or exceeded our expectations.
My dinner companions and I found almost everything underspiced though they liked their Waterzooi (a seafood soup) and venison. My steak frites was quite unmemorable, with the fries a little soggy and over-salted.
All in all, I wouldn't go back and that's quite a disappointment as I'm still looking to add to my very short list of decent Baltimore restaurants.
