| - First time in today for lunch...
So far so good... got in early and was pleasantly surprised to see a nice crowd dining as the normal lunch-hour went on. We were seated promptly and our server was attentive. Because it took me/ guest some time to decide, we sent our sever away a few times, and another server stepped in to make sure we were OK. A-plus for service.
How 'bout the food? My guest and I split the "Cleveland Po' Boy" (brat-like thing, with BBQ sauce, fries, and slaw and with another side of fries), "Firestarter" wings, and "Crispy Pork Belly."
The Po Boy and the wings were just OK, both served on the not-quite-hot-side. As another review mentioned, the wings were a tad over-done as well. OK for bar food, but not "gotta get back for this stuff." Gotta disagree with the portion-size concern voiced earlier... the wings were a nice stack for the price (this ain't BW3)... just wish they were more tender.
The Pork Belly was great. Again, a bit lukewarm temp-wise, but nicely done and seasoned just right.
Hopefully, the serving temperature was just "new place" growing pains... I think this place has great promise and can be a nice alternative to that Lizard place just up the alley. I'll definitely be back to try the burgers and tacos.
PS: Bonus points for the CLE-centric dish names. 2-1-6, yo!
