NOW OPEN: Brick American Eatery
Many people seem to think the under-the-radar Brick American Eatery, which occupies the old Fish space (1708 Lombard St.), is a new Mike Stollenwerk endeavor. Is it a meatier spin-off from the seafood maestro? Negative, though that was the plan at one point. Jolly Weldon of Jolly's Piano Bar (1420 Locust St.) is now heading up the business. "I've always liked the space, and one of my partners at Jolly's is a partner of Mike's," says Weldon of the lead-up to the transaction. He's teamed up with Stollenwerk, whose role is "consulting chef," and partners Jason DiDomenico (the GM), Judy Taraborrelli and Jon Anderson to convert the G-Ho space (most famously Astral Plane) into an affordable, approachable neighborhood restaurant.
Stollenwerk has put together the menu for chef Dayna Russo to execute. Dishes like chicken-fried buffalo rock shrimp with maytag aioli; skate wing with cauliflower, roasted red grapes, hazelnut and brown butter; and braised short rib with celeriac puree, cress, pickled trumpet and pantaleo cheese are all priced under $20. Specialty cocktails come in at $10 apiece, with the likes of the Morning Glory Martini (Absolut Mandarin, St. Germain, lemon, orange bitters), the Brick Manhattan (Woodford Reserve, Carpano Antica, bitters, whiskey-soaked cherry) and the Meadow Mule (Hendrick's gin, elderflower cordial, apple cider, ginger ale).
Brick's hours: Mon.-Fri., 5 p.m.-2 a.m.; Sat., 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; Sun., 10 a.m.-midnight.
