"Many bars and restaurants describe their customers as their community. At Leland Eating and Drinking House in Prospect Heights, that actually feels like the reality. Perhaps that's thanks to their monthly butchering classes, where the kitchen shows off its whole-animal butchery program; the annual Dog-O-Ween, complete with pup cups and homemade treats; the mahjong nights; or just the easy-going atmosphere that makes you want to come back for more."
"The smoked pollock fritters - fluffy, fried balls of white fish and potato on a bed of horseradish tzatziki - are available at both, and a must-order to start your meal. At brunch, the tortang talong is a standout. For Leland's take on the Filipino dish, the eggplant omelet acts as a canvas for a peppery salad of arugula, cherry tomato, lemon, and pecorino cheese."
"Leland has an extensive vermouth list. Start your meal with vermouth service ($11 to $17): your choice of the fortified wine (I'm partial to Tximista's crisp bianco vermouth) served with a twist, an olive, and sparkling water for a DIY vermouth and soda. Grab a pre-brunch pastry from the Prospect Heights outpost of buzzy Radio Bakery or swing by Ciao Gloria for coffee and Italian treats."
