"The bar is filled with warm wood accents and a gleaming bank of wine taps - 50 of them -serving pre-measured vino from all around the globe. The more you look around, however, the more you'll discern another of Manson's passions: Star Trek! There's a cocktail called The Prime Directive, Trekkie-themed tchotchkes behind the bar, a space-ship-lighting themed bathroom, and signage written in English and in Klingon. It's actually pretty subtle, but it's there."
"Three of us started out with the mixed chicories salad, which featured roasted delicata squash, candied pepitas, walnuts, and cara cara orange supremes in a cranberry vinaigrette. An impressive start to our voyage. The slight bitterness of the chicories were offset by the sweet squash, candied nuts, and bright citrus. Fresh tasting, with good contrasting textures."
Big Finish is a new wine bar offering a full menu of comfort food and replacing the closed gastropub Monk's Kettle. Owner/operator Adam Manson staffed the place with family and friends. The space features warm wood accents and a 50-tap system serving pre-measured wines from around the world. Subtle Star Trek touches include a cocktail called The Prime Directive, themed tchotchkes, spaceship lighting, and bilingual signage in English and Klingon. Menu highlights included a balanced mixed chicories salad with roasted delicata squash and bright citrus, and dips like smoked trout and Texan pimento cheese, though some chips and crackers showed minor execution issues.
