Elizabeth Daniels 2/12
The bones from Casa days still remain, but this here is Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen's (Mendocino Farms) re-imagined, glorified farmhouse, vintage whisk lighting fixtures and all! Blue Cow Kitchen & Bar opens on Thursday and feels very much like a fancified Mendocino Farms. Similar to the Mendo food philosophy, Del Pero and Chen serve wholesome farm-to-table sandwiches and more arranged by ex-Church & State chef Josh Smith, though a rotating roster of guest chefs will pass through the restaurant to contribute ideas and successful sandwiches will hit Mendo menus.
The venerable Steve Livigni of La Descarga and Harvard & Stone crafts Cocktails With Care, Beer Cocktails, a Hopefully Intriguing Beer List (by bottle and on tap), plus Approachable Wines, and drinks A Little Less Boozy. Glasses cost $12 or less all around. So, while sandwiches do claim the limelight, this really isn't just a lunch spot. It's an any time of day place. And certainly somewhere to hit for better than average evening drinks.
