I LOVE oysters so I started with a few oysters. And at $1 each, how can you not?? Little Cleo’s always offers a few oyster varieties with one always on special for happy hour. Had to order a few shrimp too. Everything was soooo fresh and delicious. If you want a bit more to eat, there’s a great selection of small plates and large plates – wanting to try a variety we ordered the crispy frog legs, grilled octopus, and garlic french fries. Wanting something sweets – their desserts are AMAZING.
Little Cleo’s unique offering is their selection of Absinthe and Absinthe cocktails. Never having either (other than an absinthe rinse in my favorite cocktail, Sazerac), I tried the Absinthe. It was interesting, definitely different with it black licorice flavor. And the white color definitely unique. It’s not going to replace whiskey as my preferred spirit but it was delicious in its unique way and I would order again. My friend decided it wasn’t for her – but everyone has different tastes.
As you know I’m a whiskey fan, so I ordered the Winston “copperknob” Churchill which was perfect.
