  • The beer choices are endless, duck burger makes you smile, and the cheese plate is great for dates. You must go here. by Coleweiser Mon 07/02/2012 12:00 AM Joined Jul 2012 6 Posts 6 Restaurant Visits
  • With a hip and inviting atmosphere and a sharp and eclectic menu this joint is a hit. The. He'd hits the mark for flavor and originality with unique meats and veggies. I had a duck wild rice burger with herbed goat chews bacon and a cherry aioli that balanced the Tart goat cheese. The fries were outstanding coupled with their house made ketchup. Try this joint.

CitySearch Tips

Parking

The Happy Gnome is blessed with a huge dedicated parking lot--hard to come by in Cathedral Hill.

Where to Sit

The spacious multi-tiered patio with outdoor bar is popular during nice weather, but the view from the booths in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows can't be beat when the snow flies.

The Extras

A large room upstairs is available for private parties up to 125 people.

Know Before You Go

The chef here has worked with some of the best: Dennis Marron worked at W.A. Frost and the Craftsmen before developing the lovely new-American menu at the Happy Gnome.

When to Go

The Happy Gnome is also known for its great beer collection. Not only does it feature more than 70 draft beers, it also offers up tastings, brewmaster dinners and limted-release beers.

    Great beer. Good menu. The place you should take a girl on a date. If she likes it she's a keeper.
