Visited 3/5/2022 Approachable elegance. Limited seating so best to make a reservation. Only 2 tables allow for parties of 6, only 2 more 4-tops, the rest are all 2-tops. 3 spaces outdoor, with blankets and heaters, well covered with wind shields. Bar looks like it seats 6, for now.
Ordered the wild mushroom hash, coffee, and a la carte biscuit with fruit compote. Splendid flavor profiles; foodie joint for the win. Portions are on the small side, hence an addition to my entree. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked egg/potatos. Coffee was excellent as well; medium roast, fresh, and from Happy Cup. Housemade biscuit was very crispy on the outside, and slightly more dense, then flaky. Notes of cinnamon and nutmeg rose from the housemade berry compote, which was delightfully only semi-sweet. Prices are farm to table: the above was $31 after a 25% tip.
From the back corner, was able to watch the kitchen counter waltz, and observed house pickled veggies, a regular procession of deviled eggs and oysters, and the cocktails are definately "trendy" standard. Potato latkes and bacon were more done than I would have preferred, but, they weren't for me, so, who knows. Service is "relaxed" but attentive. Coffee took a few extra mins to arrive, as did the biscuit later, and there was an array of food that sat up at the counter for longer than my OCD nature was comfortable. Staff was very friendly, and clearly all work well together. They stated bar seating wasn't open, when I arrived, but, later saw two regulars perched and ordering. This Mississippi gem could use the business, so, it's hardly an issue. Estimated 30 mins, for single seat, and they were right on target. Fantastic brunch date spot, ladies only, or, if you want to inspire your pallette with a morning selection. Overall, highly reccommend.
Small and exquisite bistro vibes.
Each dish had a flair for something just a little different. For example, the house pickles included mushrooms which were wonderful... had never had a pickled mushroom before.
Also tried the salmon skin chicharrones.... totally unique. Another first.
Amazing cocktails without going too far into fantasy ingredients. But still unique.
Great service. Two thumbs up.
Located in the ever popular Mississippi neighborhood, Radar is a fun spot that teeters between trying to appeal to the masses and striving for a higher level of sophistication. Although the food and drinks are very good, perhaps they would be better served if they’d focus and find their true niche. Fun happy hour spot. B/B+
