Brix and Stone

So this is a bit overdue - but it was too good not to share!! For my birthday in August (see - I told you it was overdue!) my good friend Kristin took me out to dinner here in Lincoln and we decided to try out Brix and Stone Gastropub in Downtown Lincoln.  They don't have an overwhelmingly large menu but what is there is exceptional.  I opted to order an appetizer for my meal when I saw they had pot stickers.  As you can see in the photo below, they came with three different sauces and served on a bed of steamed rice.

This was actually the perfect size because i was full but not stuffed so i definitely recommend ordering off of the appetizer menu.  My drink was a Marilyn Monroe which was pink and delicious.  In this picture you can also kind of see Kristin's dish which was a Snapper I believe.  

The real star of this table however is the bread.  Now let me preface this by telling you what the server said to us before she brought the bread (she was fantastic by the way). She was very apologetic and said that she was very sorry but they had a specialty bread tonight and she hoped that was okay. Tonight's bread was Pumpkin Bread.  

Are you kidding me?? Pumpkin bread is ALWAYS okay!! It was so moist and delicious that we actually saved it for our dessert.  So if you're lucky they will have this on hand when you visit Brix and Stone, although I have a feeling that all of their breads are on par with the pumpkin.
