320 Main Restaurant Review:


Earthy, cozy confines and a sleek bar where patrons can gather while the game plays on the flat-screen TV above give 320 Main a neighborhood hangout vibe. But the food and drinks go beyond the traditional. The cocktail program boasts handcrafted libations that taste as good as they look, ranging from a classic Moscow Mule to a tequila, mezcal and clover honey concoction known as Amexicillin. Executive chef Lawrence McNerney builds a tight, contemporary menu that feels accessible and not forced. Starters showcase this touch by way of bacon-wrapped dates accompanied by a white wine goat cheese fondue and crispy shrimp doused in a creamy sriracha sweet chili sauce. Entrees include short rib stroganoff with mushrooms and pappardelle noodles; garlic and ginger marinated hanger steak; and whole rack of lamb. Finish with a dessert like the brown sugar cake. Weekend brunch offerings do a great job of connecting the first and second meals of the day, as in the fried chicken with brioche french toast and red wine short rib and potato hash.
