This manhattan was procured at the Ashmont Grille in Dorchester (right across from Ashmont T station). The bartender did get a half glazed over look when I inquired about non-blended ryes but recovered enough to reply they didn't have any before I could move on to the bourbon questions. Oddly, he said Baker and then stopped. Would I like a taste? That's what is known as a rhetorical question. I wondered if there were no others but since I'd never had Baker's, I thought I give it a shot. It was very strong. My friend got the white pear sangria and promptly returned it saying it left a bad aftertaste in her mouth.
Bartender was very helpful with suggestions for appetizers. We got chicken satay with cucumber salad and artichoke spinach dip. The satay was fine; the cucumbers were thinly sliced (instead of diced) and were a little soggy; the spinach artichoke dip was not memorable for any reason. Total for the night was $38 plus tip.
