Editorial Review for 112 Eatery – by Donna Tabbert Long

In Short
Exposed brick, stamped-tin ceiling and dark wood booths combine with candlelight and mirrors to create a beguiling sense of bistro spirit and romance at this small independent eatery. A menu that meets all budgets mixes upscale dining options with daringly delicious spins on bar food. A popular bacon and egg sandwich gets swiped with hot harissa, while the rib eye are grilled to juicy perfection. Finish with the tres leches cake, a moist confection served in a rich puddle of cream.

I went here for my friends birthday, none of the previous people who have commented. The waitstaff spent the entire time we were trying to eat dinner rearranging the tables for some party, dragging the tables and chairs across the floor making our table vibrate, over and over again to the point we were all laughing at them because it was clearly excessive and we must be on candid camera or something. I ordered steak, which I spied my friends steak and her's looked juicy and delicious. I had a peice with a giant fat vein in it or something so it was very unappetizing and not that great. I should have sent it back but you dont want to have to rain on someones b-day just because you spent $35 on a crappy peice of steak.... The gnocchi is EXCELLEnt, the salads are weird, I expect a little more effort than plain lettuce, I dont care how upscale and foo foo you think you are, throw me a damn carrot or something for $10! Anyway, I am going back tonight, I'm not paying or no way in hell would I go there, lol!

Pros: good food

Cons: expensive

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I just have to respond to the past two reviews. The reason they ask you to mind your reservation is that frequently it takes diners at least 2 hours to dine there, (slow food = good food) and they are booked for sometime in advance for premium times (7:00pm). The food here is second to none. As far as it taking your mom 15 minutes to find parking, perhaps she should put on her big girl pants and pay at the pay lot DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET. C'mon people, you are eating downtown, not at the Maple Grove Applebees. The same goes for your birthday, if you want a "Happy Birthday Song" from your server, then go to the Olive Garden, otherwise respect your servers time by not showing up 15 minutes late for your reservation. I have had nothing but the best service and ambience here, neither times having reservations, but rather walking in and politely asking for first availability around 5:30. Once we sat at the bar downstairs (fabulous dirty martini's) and once upstairs. This is a chef driven establishment, and to be honest, the best food I have ever eaten. Simple ingredients, and a fabulous atmosphere. It is the main reason my husband and I want to move back into the city.

Pros: THE best food, Tres Leche Cake, perfect quaint personable ambience

Cons: I wish I lived upstairs!
