Bisq

Inman Square is fast becoming a dining hot spot.  We have Trina's, Puritan and Co., and Bergamont.  Of course, we have lots of other great places but these places are culinary destinations in the city.  Soon to be joining that list will be Bisq, a sister restaurant to Bergamont.

We were a bit disappointed to hear that this was the place moving in next to Clover restaurant.  Bergamont is really expensive, and we were hoping for a more friendly priced restaurant.  We were still intrigued enough to check it out one night, when surprise, surprise, school was stressing me out.

The design team did an absolutely fabulous job with the space.  It's totally modern, rustic but with a hint of European wine bar thrown in.  The main dining room gives way to a separate bar area in the back.  It's small and intimate and perfect for our neighborhood.

The beer and wine feature lots of interesting choices and the bartender really knows her stuff when it comes to wine.  The menu is small and pricey and the portions are small.  I know this is a "small plates" concept but the portions were almost to small to share.

That being said, everything was delicious.  I've been on a recent oyster kick since trying them on Mother's Day with JO's parents.  I couldn't resist ordering them here and they didn't disappoint.

This is certainly not a place we can go to often, but it's a nice addition to the Square.
