Directions
The work of veteran barman Ross Simon and partner Bob Tam, known for rethinking bar food with an Asian flair, Bitter and Twisted is first and foremost a bar. The cocktail menu is 24 pages long, while the food menu is a single page. Lunch and dinner offerings include a house pâté that’s tasty, if insubstantial, served with a generous helping of tasty, chewy brown bread from Noble bakery. The pretzel burger is excellent — a nice, meaty puck of ground sirloin with a freshly grilled flavor complemented by a sunny-side up egg and a soft, fresh-baked pretzel bread croissant. An order of Seoul fried chicken is less successful, and the green chili mac with bacon isn’t perfect, either. Although the elbow macaroni is overcooked, a zesty combination of jalapeño and smoky bacon, stirred into a smooth four-cheese sauce and topped with a crisp panko crust, is nice. Desserts change daily, and Tuesday cupcakes tend to sell out early.
