Candied bacon-wrapped fig with gorgonzola.: Handout
Triniti restaurant is thinking big these days. Well, let’s say bigger. The progressive American restaurant’s bar area recently expanded in size and may get even bigger in the new year (a designer currently is working on new soft seating and layout for the amped-up space that will have a new look in the new year).
In response to the welcome focus on the bar area, the kitchen has created a new bar-bites menu that includes items such as Devils on Horseback (gorgonzola-stuffed roasted figs wrapped in candied bacon); fried chicken meatballs; and duck fat-poached oysters with soba noodles, sesame vinaigrette and smoked peanuts. Other bites and shared plates: Cavatelli Bolognese, tuna poke, beef tartare teriyaki, roasted beets and cauliflower, a “mushroom collection” and a burger with all the fixings.
The foodie offerings will be met with an updated cocktail menu. To prove it’s serious about reactivating its bar business, Triniti has launched a new happy hour, Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. During those golden hours, the bar bites are half off ($4 each) or three for $10. Select cocktails are priced at $5 during happy hour, with beer available for $3 and special wines at $5. The happy-hour bargains are even available on the weekend: from 5 p.m. until closing on Sundays.
We call that big news.
