| - The idea of a Serbian restaurant was enough to entice me to purchase the Groupon to check it out, especially since I had never really thought about what Serbian cuisine was about. We headed to Intermezzo before hitting up The Comedy Zone and walked away impressed with the place.
Intermezzo does not look like much from the outside, but don't let the old building and gravel parking lot scare you...they serve up some decent grub. The interior is pretty neat with exposed brick walls and shelves of all these little miniature toys. The interior dining area is small but not cramped, and the outdoor patio area looked to add a lot more space, weather permitting. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and got us going with our drinks. I got a draft of Founder's Porter ($5) and the miss' got a Cantaloupe Martini ($4.50 on a 1/2 off martini Saturday.)
For an appetizer we started with the Corn Dip ($8.75) which was a bit pricey for what you got. It was a small ramekin of corn niblets mixed with peppers, onions and cheese. The ramekin must have been placed in a salamander before coming out because the cheese topping crustified, much like a french onion soup would. Once we got everything mixed around it was pretty tasty paired with the tortilla chips, but it definitely wasn't $8.75 worthy. It was really surprising because the rest of the appetizers, and even the entrees, were reasonably priced, so I don't know what made a bunch of corn and cheese so expensive in comparison.
For dinner, after seeing all the rave reviews here on Yelp, I had to go with the Ground Beef Burek ($11.95.) It is a huge roll made of fillo dough, but not the fillo dough I'm used to. It was denser and crunchier than what I've had in Greek-style cheese pies and other foods, and it worked as a great exterior crust to the contents inside. It was filled with tons of a ground beef and onion mixture, and that was it. No sauce, no seasoning, just pure beef and sauteed onion. I think it was missing a little something initially, but I added some tzatziki sauce on top and that gave it a bit of umph it was initially missing. It also came with a decent-sized side salad of greens, tomato and cucumber with a balsamic dressing. The veggies were nice and fresh and the dressing had a nice sweetness to it.
The missus ordered the Cheese & Spinach Burek ($11.95) and I'm surprised to say that I liked hers more. The cheese consisted of ricotta so it was similar to a calzone filling, and the spinach was not obtrusive at all. In fact, I would go so far as to say that a burek that contained both ground beef and this cheese mixture would be a slam dunk hole in one home run goal.
Intermezzo is a pretty great restaurant that takes pride in their food. They also do pizzas and I am looking forward to returning in the near future to give them a whirl. Definitely worth checking out. One last note, I saw a guy running around doing deliveries so if you live nearby that may be a great option.
