Mohawk Bend in the Los Feliz Ledger: Make that a pound of mussels

I reviewed Mohawk Bend for the Los Feliz Ledger this month; back when I wrote the review they were doing all you can eat pizza on Mondays but that plan is no more. Now Wednesdays are Pint and a Pound night, when $15 gets you a pint of Golden Road Brewing beer and a pound of steamed mussels or vegetables and couscous. Here's an excerpt from the review:
Nicely fried cod in an IPA beer batter ($14) has a lighter crust than some and the caper aioli makes a zingy topping. The Kennebec potato’s flavor comes through in the fries, which can also be ordered as a side with Japanese togarashi seasoning or rosemary gremolata.
Pizzas are whimsically named: Salad Daze has avocado and lettuce, while Pig Newton ($14) has Serrano ham, fig tapenade and goat cheese. The crust has a good yeasty flavor, so keep the toppings simple for optimum flavor. The attention to local ingredients is appreciated, though the food is fairly basic. ...Mohawk Bend is a temple to beer and a versatile spot for festive eaters and drinkers.

Haven't yet made it here, but I'm always searching for better fish and chips so now I'm inspired to try theirs.
