Nancy Hands Bar & Restaurant

Nancy Hands Bar & Restaurant Review

It's a fine line to walk: to re-create tradition without coming across like a theme bar. Happily, Nancy Hands just about pulls it off. A galleylike room juxtaposes old wood, raw brick, and antiques with contemporary art to create a convivial, cozy dining area. The bar food is good, but the upstairs restaurant operates on a more serious level. Hearty specialties include scallops of turkey panfried with wild mushrooms and served with a creamy penne pasta and the leg of rabbit with steamed dumplings. Numerous wines are served by the glass, and the selection of spirits is one of the most impressive in the country.
