Last Saturday night we went to Danny Brown's on Metropolitan Avenue with Joe and Debbie. They had given me a gift certificate for my 50th birthday and so we invited them to share dinner with us.
They stopped at our apartment for drinks and snacks first, then we drove over. Parking was great (surprisingly). Our reservation was ready. I love banquette tables. Joe ordered a bottle of Tempranillo that was very good. We shared a goat cheese app and a grilled calamari app. Joe ordered a half portion of short ribs angiolotti too.
Dinner was chicken under a brick (Michael's favorite), salmon, beef something (I can't remember) and I had white beans and escarole (two side dishes on the menu). They don't have their scallops anymore (bummer, because they were the best).
Service is good and the ambiance is warm. I wish it were a bit more quiet. There were a lot of twenty-somethings, guess they're noisier than fifty-somethings.
We had a great night. Our first time out with them even though we've been friends for a few years now.
There is a rumour that Danny Brown's is moving (not closing), but the waitress wouldn't confirm or deny, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Danny Brown's
Friday night we went to dinner with Joe and Denise and Tom and Monica. We went to Danny Brown's on Metropolitan Avenue (http://www.dannybrownwinekitchen.com/).
As always, the food is terrific. We had tuna tartare (x2), grilled calamari over white beans (x2), a 3-cheese cheese board and gnocchi to start with. Michael and Tom had burgers, Joe had spaghetti and Denise, Monica and I had scallops. May sound average, but nothing was. The scallops were some of the best I've ever had. Joe's spaghetti was anything but boring, very flavorful-no meat-always a good thing :)
Wine was good, 2 bottles of red, 1 of white. Dessert was yucky. Can you believe I said that? Denise ordered the lemon tart. I felt (not necessarily the opinion of anyone else) that the crust was made with too much lard and it had a "meaty" taste to it. In any case, the company is always good, so there's nothing to complain about (about dinner that is).
We are also looking for a used car for Jesse (now that's to complain about)!!!
Is all this supposed to make us stronger or is that a crock of shit?
