The Green Dragon

The Green Dragon is two places in one. On one side there is a cool bar with lots of great micro-brews and on the other is a low key restaurant with a smart small menu. It is located right across from the revamped Grand Central Bowl in an old warehouse. The space works better for the bar side than it does for the restaurant side, which could use a few more tables. The menu is as I said small, but it feels like they have picked a few things things and tried to do them right. There are about six featured entrees, a couple of appetizers and one desert choice. There are also several sandwiches that sounded good. For our entrees we tried the mussels and the Cajun meatloaf. Both tasted great, but the portions were a little excessive. Maybe we should have skipped the wild mushroom appetizer, but I don't regret it; it was spicy and delicious. Unfortunately we didn't have any room left for desert which looked really great. The prices are also very reasonable. I would recommend heading over to the bar for a couple of beers, then sitting down for dinner. It'll be a good night out.
