Maysville

Named after the city that was the birthplace of Bourbon, it's no surprise that this is going to be a restaurant with an extensive array of fun bourbons and cocktails. You can check that out when you get inside and see a classy bar filled with a beautiful display of bottles. We went here for Ryan's birthday dinner after having previously been to Char No 4, their other restaurant in Brooklyn.

The standouts for me were the atmosphere, which was open and welcoming, and the food. We both had bourbon mixed cocktails to start from an awesome cocktail list. They were yummy and creative. We moved on to a ton of food. It was essential to over order since it was a birthday celebration. We shared everything, which I would also recommend doing. We had the Crispy Grits, BBQ Shrimp, and a Beet Salad as the appetizers. For our entrees, we had the Slow Roasted Arctic Char and a Steak with Potatoes. It was all flavorful and wonderful. I think the best thing was definitely the appetizer of Crispy Grits with Ham and a Bourbon Aioli. They were bite size and delicious. 

The service was friendly, but formal. It seemed fancier than I had expected and I had an after work crowd. It's that kind of place you might want to go to for a celebratory dinner and what I consider a fancy night on the town.
