Peasant Revisited

Met up the fellas for some drinks at Burp Castle and I was craving Italian, so we hit up Peasant - a good old standby. I've always had issues with the service, but the food has always been tasty. This night, we actually found out that downstairs there's the Peasant Wine Bar that serves the same menu as Peasant. Great times and as usual solid food. Standout was the linguine special - nicely cooked pasta with a rich butter sauce and meaty duck livers. Surprisingly, the same lamb dish that I had last time was much worse this time. Much less intense lamb flavor, but overall still tasty. Service was actually much better - an Italian lady served us and was very hospitable....be prepared to sit next to people you don't know, since it's hella tiny.
