Comstock Saloon: Meh
So, I've been waiting to go to Comstock for the longest time. So much so that K.yo finally gave in and went with me before we saw YACHT at Bimbo's. The interior is really cute. I love the 20's/30's Prohibition feel, but Bourbon and Branch probably hits it better. Cocktails and food-wise, Comstock was a disappointment. The drinks weren't bad, but I've definitely had better at Thermidor, Bourbon, and Gather (all three offer similar prices if not cheaper actually). My other small complaint is that they were charging $10 for a shot of Johnnie Walker Black Label. You can buy an entire bottle for $30! SIGH.
I ordered the "Pig in a Biscuit," since I figured I wouldn't go back very often and might as well try some food. The description of this dish on the menu is completely off. Firstly, it isn't just one pig. It's 3 and even 4 if you "want to share" as the waiter said. Secondly, the pork is not crispy and is merely a sausage patty. Thirdly, it's freakishly oily and not even tasty for being so fatty. Oh, this dish also comes with sauerkraut, which may actually be tastier than the pigs.
If given the choice, I probably wouldn't go back unless I'm somehow stuck in North Beach.
