"We've been to Ward 426 3 times in 3 weeks! We love the feel of the place. Parking is easy, on the street or in the back. Inside we found plenty of space, music at right volume, wide plank floors, built in (historic? wooden bar area with stained glass, brass, etc. Tile floors in one room, unobtrusive ceiling fans, lounge in front window, decks out back something for everyone. We went with another couple the first time, went as a couple on our own to the bar for the 2nd visit, and for a family birthday with 5 in the party this week. We lingered. The bar has an amazing selection of bourbon, gin, etc and they have FEVER TREE tonic fabulous G&T with Farmer's gin and Fever Tree. Corn bread (moist, flavorful and yeast rolls come with the meal. Say yes to both. We like the charcuterie board but I think it could have one more cheese or at least bigger portions of the cheese given, and more pickles. It's beautifully presented with great little surprises/flourishes. We've had several salads, all good. The brussle sprouts are good, not as crispy as I expected. The others loved them. The pizza looked like the best dish on our table, enough for 2, hot, flush with pepperoni and cheese, thin crust. The hot brown was just OK, but it's not one of my favorite dishes anyway. 2 people got the duck and raved over it. The gnocchi was a hit as well. I have several dietary restrictions (sigh and requested some substitutions which were accepted with ease. I would like it if there were one or two more entres that were simple, not so heavy grilled seafood for example, or something more creative with steak/filet. My favorite part the house made ice cream, especially the Olive Oil/Pistachio cake and cardamon ice cream. No words for how good. If Ward 426 were on Frankfort Ave, you wouldn't be able to get in the door. We enjoyed the lack of competing for a table, relished the quiet but we want this wonderful place to succeed. So tell your friends!"
