Bar Symon Pork Fiesta

I just want to do a short little photo blog from the awesome Sierra Nevada and Pork pairing at Bar Symon last Monday.  I think I have said a lot about the talent of Matt Harland and of Bar Symon itself.  It was an incredible meal yet again and well worth checking out.  Only $50 and the beers were flowing like the Cuyahoga River, and 2.5 nonstop hours of delicious dish after dish.

Bar Symon Chef Matthew Harland and the Sierra Nevada Beer 

fellow who I completely am blanking on his name.

Spicy Pork Loin with peaches, arugula and almonds

There was desert as well but I neglected to take a photo before I inhaled it.  It was a warm apple and bacon crisp with thyme caramel sauce and blue cheese anglaise.  The Sierra Nevada beers served were the Summerfest, Pale Ale, Kellerweis, Southern Hemisphere Harvest and Bigfoot.  All excellent choices and complimentary to the delicious pork offerings.

Bar Symon itself is a treasure and welcome addition to the Avon area located on Walker Road just south of 83.  They serve some of the best beers I have ever seen on tap and the micro and craft bottle collection would rival even the most well stocked bar in Cleveland.  Prices are affordable for regular dinners and they have great nightly specials.  The restaurant is clean and spacious.  The patio is perfect with ample tables and comfortable couches and chairs to sip cocktails all night.  It has a perfect mix of neighborhood bar and casual dinning.  The staff is efficient and friendly and Nolan Cleary who runs the floor is a class act.  He doesn't just run the show he choreographs every minor detail to make the ultimate dinning experience.  As I have said before and probably will continue to say once a month the last Monday of the month is one of the best deals in town.  Join me next month for the Founders Ale Feast, or just try it for yourself any day of the week.
