One proceeds. One is glad one did.

A. Bartholomew-Hurst·December 2022

At Pierre Greco's Bar & Grill, the thick-cut fry is taken seriously in a way that does not announce itself. The double-fry method produces an exterior that is commendable and largely sustained. The interior is present and largely coherent. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. One returns.
