A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Wine Bar: Iavarone Brothers Cafe

Iavarone Brothers Cafe

We were headed to Montauk for the Labor Day Weekend, and planned a dinner stop at Spuntino Wine Bar & Italian Tapas:  But we pasted an old familiar Iavarone Brothers first.

Notes

Wednesday is half price bottle of wine night, and NYS law says we can take home what we do not finish!  So a $34 bottle of Chianti cost $17 - less than 2 glasses of the same wine!

RUFFINO CHIANTI (ITALY) and Focaccia: great start 

ORECCHIETTE ALLA BARESE : Iavarone sausage, broccoli rabe

RIGATONI WITH BRAISED SHORT RIBS & BROCCOLI RABE 

Disappointment at the Pilsener Haus in Hoboken

Pilsener Haus & Biergarten

1422 Grand St, Hoboken, NJ 07030

Amy and I went for brunch. I should have left when the waitress told me they were substituting Chicken for Pork in the WIENER SCHNITZEL, or maybe I should have just had the chicken fingers at half the price.

Happy Hour at The Point

The point is our go-to happy hour here in Montauk.  Always surprised at how good it is.

The old Fish Bar becomes the Gin Beach Cafe

Gin Beach Cafe

In Montauk, the restaurants are always changing.  This is where FISH BAR used to be.  It was hard to get that expectation out of my head.  This new place is not too bad.

Notes

Looks the same as before...

Almost

Not a full liquor license yet:  just beer and wine.  Does BYOB extend to a bottle of vodka?

The help and vibe were of a family that had run a diner for years, very much a mature 'whatever' attitude.

The staff went to the kitchen to check the catch of the day.  It was reported to be fluke, tilefish, or cod.  Of course, that was wrong, and the choice I had chosen WAS NOT available.  Good, because I learned what tilefish is and that we like it!

We took it to go for a picnic at Gin Beach. 

Softshell crab and tuna tacos.

Tilefish wrap. The sauce made the wrap soggy, but the taste was great!

House fries - Originally thought they were flaccid and bad, but we changed our mind.

A New Face at an Iconic Corner

Montauk Circle Burgers

99 Carl Fisher Plaza, Montauk, NY 11954

This corner has seen several restaurants come and go.  Maybe this one will last.  I think the landlord might want more than the traffic can support.
