Cask

Cask Bar+Kitchen recently opened on 33rd between Lexington & 3rd Avenue.  If you live around the neighborhood this is definitely the spot to call you "neighborhood bar."  They have a great bar scene for an after work crowd and an even better party room downstairs.  This is not your typical Murray Hill bar which is so refreshing!  The crowd looked to be 25+ and everyone was dressed well, no frat boy look...sorry.

Starters:

Frommage - White Cheddar, Gorgonzola, & Pepper Crushed Goat    

        

Dinner:

Wild Mushrooms Flatbread - Spinach, Fresh Mozzarella, Parmesan & Truffle Oil

Coriander Crusted Salmon - Crispy Potato Cake & Garlic Sauté Spinach

B's review: The food was great.  The cheese platter was presented very well and came with olives, grapes, jam, & crackers.  I would definitely order the frommage plate again without the gorgonzola cheese - just not a fan.  It's a great way to start the meal.  The mushroom flatbread was amazing! The fresh mozzarella & truffle oil made the dish.  The salmon was good, cooked perfectly & had lots of flavor.  The potato cake tasted like mashed potatoes that had been fried on top...yummy; the spinach = not a fan.  I would definitely go back there.  It was a great place to grab dinner.  It had a great scene, excellent service, & great food options.
