The Walrus & The Carpenter



Last week David and I headed out to his favorite restaurant, The Walrus and The Carpenter.  I have been wanting to go forever, but every time I tried the wait was incredibly long in this tiny and hip restaurant.  Luckily, we got there early and only had to wait for about 25 minutes - the perfect amount of time for a fun cocktail at Staple & Fancy next door.  Back at W&C, they sat us at the bar where we promptly ordered more yummy cocktails and several small plates to share.  I thought that everything there was going to be oyster-esque (it is, after all, an oyster bar), but the menu was surprisingly diverse and I found it hard to narrow down our selections to just a few.  We made some great choices (I can't stop thinking about that smoked trout!) and I can't wait to go back again very soon and try out more new dishes.
