Thanks for the review.

Reading Jazzfood and MarlaCollins'Husband's posts, although the burger may the only constant on the menu, a lot of courses remain extremely similar with a tweak here and there.
Dinner this past Sunday -- dining partner arrived at 5:25 and was 12th-ish in line so we were able to get seated right at opening.
Food Menu
Drink Menu
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME
Tequila . Pineau des Charentes . Gochujang . Tart Orange . Black Sesame Salt
white alba truffle toast
delice de bourgogne triple cream cheese, honey
both loved the dish but dining companion felt the cheese overwhelmed the truffles.
figwood smoked octopus
pickled radish, black garlic
slightly sweet, slightly acidic -- delicious
dry aged burger
charred onion, mayonnaise
a contender for best burger in town
fries
GREEN MEANS GO
Cachaca . White Rum . Suze Bitter . Green Bell Pepper . Lime
american grouper
fried maitake mushroom, miso cream
terrible photo. One of the best mushroom dishes I've had.
fois gras ganache
preserved apple, honey hearth bread
The silkiest foie gras I believe I've had and the bread is fantastic. We thought it may had come from PQM but were told all the bread was made in house. Outstanding.
whipped chocolate
preserved tart cherries
Fantastic meal all-around; the food, the drinks, and the service...our server, Rachel, was fantastic.
After the meal, we chatted a bit with Chef Fleming near the dry-aging fridge
He was super enthusiastic about the changes they've made to the restaurant and the dishes coming up. I can't wait -- this is a restaurant I wouldn't mind waiting a couple hours to get back to.

Do fries count? Olives?Per our menu from 12/18, there were no vegetable-forward dishes

Edelweiss was one of the venues from which I was ejected! Yet I had already managed to order a beer {A 16-oz. can of Miller High Life [$5.00]}, and sign up for a karaoke song. Nope, that was it. It wanted me out of there.WhyBeeSea wrote: [edit]
Wait was about 90 minutes on Saturday at 9, but there are plenty of establishments nearby that you can wait at. (FYI: Edelweiss has karaoke on Saturday night)

Not sure why your possible intoxication or being thrown out of multiple bars is relevant to this thread.
I have yet to get to Warlord and was hoping the waits died down a little. Any updates as to best time to dine with smaller or no waits?

Out on the pavement on Milwaukee Avenue, possibly wrapping around the block onto Belmont?
It will be a venue like Edelweiss.
If an adjacent venue decides it will not let you wait there for any reason including your prior alcoholic consumption, what is the contingency?
I want to have a service at Warlord. Its prices make me queasy. I perceive it is striking while the iron is hot until it is not the most trendy venue anymore.
