Carefully crafted. Carefully curated. Completely yummy. The drink selection is limited and a moving target, but the drinks are truly stellar. The winelist is short but unique and yummy. The appetizers are really, really good. I started planning my next visit before my first one ended.

The apps were the star of the show. Charcuterie plate (pig ear turine) was out of this world. Entrees were good, not killer, service was excellent. I have been dreaming of pig ears since our visit....

Great food, great service and really convenient! The fish tacos are terrific, and the sliders are amazing. The unsung hero? The tuna, Cesar salad wrap. The smoked onion crisps really make this wrap amazing

Black bone chicken broth is so rich and delightful that it is perfect just as it is... But when you add bits of beef and fish and baby bok choy, it simply becomes sublime.

Great food. Sangria is super and the spicy pork stew (pezole) is simply the best value in the world. $5.00 for a savory, spicy bowl of soul stirring pork and hominy. Not to be missed

The food is usually of high quality, but the best part of this establishment is how the treat kids in an otherwise very adult dining experience. They are consistently accomodating, helpful and respectful of the need of a family with 3 kids under 7...

Sibling Rivalry

Neighborhood: South End

The location is nice, and the drinks/winelist deserve an A. The appetizers were also very good (very tasty, but execution uneven). But the execution of the entrees was pretty bad. My duck was dry... I didn't send it back because I had already sent my appetizer back (there was a piece of plastic in it).

The worst part of this experience is the pricing. Sibling Rivalry prices itself like a Michelin starred restaurant, but the food didn't live up to the price. We spent about $45/ea on apps and entrees, and for $45 you ought to get something that makes your mouth water and makes you immune to the price. But, when the food makes you think, "I spent how much?!?" they haven't done their job.

Further, the entire "sibling rivalry" think is completely under-executed. It is the central marketing theme of the restaurant, but the execution is half hearted at best.

I would go back for a drink and a nosh, but I'd steer clear of a full meal.
