Let’s kick off this review with a few questions. Are you a dude? Is it February? Have you been fasting for any reason recently? If you answer yes to any of those questions, go ahead and add one full point to our Infatuation Meter rating. Resto is a Belgian “gastro pub”, and the menu is (apparently) very Belgian. The food is very heavy as are most of the beers, and it’s definitely a place more suited to getting drunk and gorging yourself during a blizzard than it is to a date. The burger is pretty damn good, as is the beer selection and many of the unique menu items including the pig’s head sandwich … yeah, you heard me. Unfortunately, Resto can be hit or miss, and lately it’s been a ghost town, leading us to believe they would be well advised to throw in some lighter options to balance the heavy fare.
