A girls night at Mettle
My friend Erica and I enjoyed the small plates at Mettle tremendously. My favorite bite came from the fried cotija cheese dish. It's served with shishito peppers, charred onion and a lime vinaigrette. We both enjoyed it so much we ordered two. It also happened to be on the happy hour menu, which runs from 3 pm - 7 pm Tuesday through Saturday. The unique cheese combined with the peppers creates a fantastic contrast in flavors and somehow it manages to all work together. I'm generally not the biggest steak tartare person, but I did enjoy the flavors on this one. My only concern was the fact that it was served in a mound as you see above versus long strips (which is what I'm used to). The scallop crudo was simple and fresh. I would have preferred crispier brussels sprouts, but the flavor was delicious. The parisienne gnocchi and carrots was also lovely. The only problem with the dish was that it was cold by the time we got to it. So I would try and eat the dish as soon as it comes out (a few came out at the same time).
