Well girlfriend, it was another Thursday and we chose Philip Marie as our place for drinks and starters. This was a good choice. Firstly, the barkeep was friendly and invited us in, making us feel perfectly at home. We came before it became crowded and so we had him to ourselves, however, he was still very attentive even as the restaurant filled up. Clearly a popular place. And we could see why. We had 2 plates: the smoked salmon with goats cheese on toasts was a winner. Simple and perfectly balanced. Then we tried the quesadilla which was spectacular - gooey in all the right places, but with grilled chicken that stood up to the melted cheese and soft and (not too filling) tortilla. The wine was good and the mixed drinks (vodka and selzer) were standard. This is a great neighborhood place.
