Turks & Frogs

Wine bar.  Turks & Frogs is a wine bar.  But.  And this is one big but.  Skip the food and you’ll miss out on a lot.

I began with hummus, an authentic and generous presentation, complete with warm pita bread.

From there, it was a short hop to tuna tartare.  Another very unskimpy creation, the ahi tuna mixed with sesame oil, avocado, scallion, and tomato, served beneath arugula salad.  A very different take on the expected and way exceptional.

Also worth a brag, the sausage flatbread, uniquely brilliant in the company of kasseri cheese, olives, arugula, and olive oil sauce.

Know what else goes well with wine?  Their dessert: a tempting assortment of Michel Cluziel chocolates.  Primo by any standards.

All this within the confines of their red walled, funky, book dotted space.

At Turks & Frogs the saying goes there’s always time for a glass of wine.

Just be sure to spend a little grabbing some bites.
