Three items eaten last night: cappicola flatbread, Alsatian flatbread, and fried calamari. We weren’t fans of the cappicola — containing as it does sliced Italian meats (good), Italian slaw (okay), cherry pepper aioli (nice), and crispy shrimp (too much). One ingredient less (the shrimp) would improve things immensely.
When we heard Nectaly Mendoza had opened a restaurant and mixology mecca in our neck of the woods, we got so excited you would’ve thought A Flock Of Seagulls was coming to town.
Besides having the coolest name in all of mixology, Mendoza knows his booze. When last we saw him, he was directing the invention of The Light Group’s luscious libations at Yellowtail. A month ago, he opened this speakeasy-cum-restaurant a mere two miles from our humble abode, and if the food is half as good as the drinks we had here the other night, we plan on becoming a regular.
And after a couple of Mendoza’s Milk Punches, Mexicanos or Monkey Glands, there’s no doubt we’ll be humming Men Without Hats all the way home.
