Barootes & Quotes

This venue is actually 2 venues, and it took us a while to figure out where we were. Barootes is the upper level from the sidewalk and is finer dining. Quotes is the lower level from the sidewalk and has more pub fare. After a quick glance at Barootes' prices, we were headed to Quotes!



This restaurant had a real classic "Cheers" feeling to it. There were neat quotes on all the walls and decor, like "Body builder - strong for nothing" and "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Benjamin Franklin. The menu was extensive and put a finer twist on the pub grub.

We each had a glass of wine with our meals. Chela had a kung pao chicken stir fry, and I had crab cakes. The food was actually a bit bland with that try-to-cover-up-deep-fry effect, and turned out to be typical pub grub after all. We should've known they would be deceitful wizards-with-words in the menu descriptions, because of the quotes theme and all.

We consoled ourselves with grand marnier cheesecake for desert. It was typically delicious. The service was nice, they were cheerful and maintained the pub-like atmosphere. With the quality of the food and the prices in mind, we won't be going there again.
