I'm really struggling with this one...I so wanted to be blown away but all I wasn't.
I went to experience the 5 stars everyone else talked about but ended up just going to get my grease on (though it was topped off with an amazing desert!) in a great looking place.
I really struggled with beet appetizer...didn't realize it would be served hot and I generally take a description for it's word on it's ingredient list but I was straining to find any feta cheese and eventually found a couple small melted white specks among the beets. Nevertheless it was tasty...
Of course I couldn't not order bacon, cheddar biscuits but the vision of them melting in my mouth was replaced with crunchy greasy salty bits. Not awful...but there was wilted angst toward that basket thought should have contained a true sin biscuit. In addition I was wholeheartedly disappointed in the candied jalapeño orange butter - it was lacking both jalapeño and orange. *Sigh*
The main course of green chile stew was good but slighted due to the previous orderings...good corn bread though sparsely proportioned and heavy on the butter/oil . Again, the description included cotija cheese and there were literally 5 crumble pieces on top. My immediate thought was that this would be an amazing breakfast leftover addition and indeed it was!
I have to say that we were delightfully surprised by the coconut cake desert adventure - outstandingly good with brown butter ice cream!
Service and atmosphere were as previous reviews and worth another trip back though the drinks were very light on alcohol. I think the happy hour or Sunday special deserve a chance and we'll likely be back to take another stab.
