A Sneak Peek at the Gray Canary

It was the hottest ticket in town. Marc Gasol was there! I had to invite myself.

Saturday evening saw a soft opening of the Gray Canary, Michael Hudman and Andy Ticer’s latest restaurant in the Old Dominick Distillery.

The decor is stark chic — with interesting light fixtures and art. Dark wood four tops, booths along the wall with a stunning view of the bridge and river. Lots of gray accents. There are sound buffers on the ceiling, but it is still quite loud.

The food is centered around an opened fire. I approve. On the current menu is octopus and clams. The country ham was praised as was the hearty t bone steak. I had the Maitake Mushroom — charred mushrooms with an eggy mayonnaise. An interesting dish, sour/rich, loved the char.

One thing the boys have in the bag is their cocktails and pastries by Kayla Palmer.

Can a girl marry a cobbler? I’m in love.

Gray Canary is opening Wednesday at 5 p.m.
