• great restaurant that really cares about their product!

I really love this place, and I'll tell you why: as someone who has worked in the local agriculture and food community for a long time, I can tell you that the suppliers Wrecking Bar uses are both of the highest quality and committed to the humane treatment of their animals for consumption (as much as can be said for the practice of raising animals for this purpose). As a vegan who was at a variety of places, I appreciate that an omni restaurant care that much about what they put on the plates of all of their diners, not just me. I know these farms and I know these farmers personally, and I can guarantee their commitment to ethical, sustainable farming. One commenter posted that they served fois gras, but that is erroneous. They do serve a chicken liver pate (not goose liver as in fois gras) which is NOT made by force feeding the animals, like with geese and duck. This place is a favorite of my many vegan and vegetarian folks from the neighborhood, primarily because of the transparency of their food and the awesomeness of the beer. Did I mention all of the beer is vegan? All of it! They occasionally have a guest tap with mead or honey, but I haven't seen them use that in any of their own beer. The food is awesome, the beer is awesome, and the service is awesome. Go early! It's popular and fills up quick at night, as there are no reservations save for really large groups.
