The perfect little gem in the area. I'd heard good things about it and I definitely wasn't let down. It's got a great atmosphere and a nice decor, starting with the non-nondescript exterior (no sign). It gives you the feeling of entering into somewhere special that not everyone knows about. We stopped in for lunch and to have some drinks and were impressed from the start. They had 30 craft beers on tap, with a good selection of options for whatever you're in the mood for and the bartender said they are constantly changing. As an added bonus, they have a good amount of local brews to choose from too. I ordered the shrimp po boy and my wife had their CBS burger with truffle fries. Wow. Both were fantastically made and tasty. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to again.
I'd really like to give this a 2.5 but…..
First off if you are going just for the beer I'd give this 4 stars. I'd have given this 5 but it wasn't that busy and the bartender wasn't much into talking. I like to talk beer. They had 25 taps. All good stuff. No pseudo micros or semi crafts. These were all quality beer. A few local breweries, some NY breweries, CA, etc. I tasted probably 7 beers and they were all fresh and worthy of drinking.
Where I had to part company was the food. The menu is small. Only a few things to choose from. I had the chicken pot pie and my wife had the mussels (appy). She complained that the mussels, albeit large, were flavorless. I thought the pot pie was OK. Nothing to brag about. The food prices were a bit hefty.
I probably won't return because we live probably 20 miles from there but if in the area I certainly would pop in for the beer and probably eat elsewhere.
To this day, I'm not quite sure what the actual name of this place is. Some refer to it as Gaslight, while others refer to it as the Mezze Cantina. There are even two separate Yelp pages for the same place with different names! Since there is really nothing remotely 'cantina like' about this place, I decided to review under Gaslight. But names aside, I can tell you one thing. The food and beer is exceptional and should not be missed.
I first came here about a year ago after visiting Carton Brewing down the street. Not only will you find local beers by Carton and Kane on their draft list, but you will also find some other solid offerings. It seems like the bartenders and servers here really know what they are talking about and are happy to answer any food or beverage questions. I also got the vibe that if you come here enough, they will remember you as I saw a lot of regulars chatting extensively with the staff.
Now as for the food, the C.B.S. burger is up there as one of the better burgers I've had in a long time. It is topped with bacon, onions, and white cheddar and is sandwiched on a brioche bun, accompanied with fries. I always ask for my burger medium rare and this thing was practically still moo'ing. It was great but dare I say almost too rare? I still devoured it and had dreams about it later that night. Just be forewarned that you may want to ask for your burger slightly more cooked if bloody as hell isn't your thing.
Finally, it's important to note that you can spend a significant amount of $ here. My burger was $13 which I suppose isn't terrible, given the quality, but ain't cheap by any means. Before taking our order, our server mentioned one of the specials which was a $27 burger, which almost made me laugh right in her face. So, it can be that kinda place. Just know that going in. Otherwise, when it comes to fine food and drinks, the Gaslight/Mezze Cantina has got you covered.
Went for light dinner & a beer. It was a Sunday so the football crowd was there. Nice place, loud but not too loud. Cleared out pretty quickly after the game. Food is quite pricey for a pub & the muscles I got were mediocre at best. My rating is based on the fantastic craft beer selection or it would have been lower. Service was pretty poor at the bar even though it was slow after the game. No reason for me to go back except for the beer.
