As my taxi driver muttered expletives at the pedestrians and cars in his way, I was starting to wonder if I should have walked instead. Then, he made a sharp turn off of the busier South Street and dropped me off at Lombard. The street was quiet, with a couple folks sitting outside having a drink or just wrapping up their dinners. I was about to begin mine.
As promised in my last review of Meritage, I went back for the Thursday Korean fried chicken. We arrived around 8:30 and got seated right away as there was only one other table seated and a couple folks at the bar.
We started off with the deviled verbena farm eggs with bacon infused trout roe and the Hudson Valley foie gras raviolis with black truffle butter. The deviled eggs had a nice kick to it - from what I assume was mustard. The raviolis were okay - but I'm a bit biased as it tasted like they had goat cheese (not a big fan) or something with very similar flavors.
