| - I finally came back here to try their dinner service for my birthday. Besides one hiccup, my boyfriend and I enjoyed our meal.
I ordered the Oaxappens in Oaxaca, which I had tried before so knew that I liked it. It's perfectly sweet and spicy. For our appetizer we ordered a trio of cheeses recommended by our waiter. I loved all of them, and my boyfriend especially enjoyed the Bleu. It was served with poached pears which complemented it really well. I also LOVED the bandaged cheddar combined with an apple compote. They were served with some crisp crackers. It was really, really delicious.
Now comes the hiccup. My boyfriend ordered the Mac n Cheese...it was honestly gross. The noodles were too thick, sauce tasted like nothing, and I'm not sure who enjoys turkey in their mac. We really hated it. There was no essence of cheese anywhere in the dish. However we mentioned it to our waiter and he happily brought my boyfriend another entree, the steak. Now the steak. Holy crap what a delicious meal. That is something we would come back for. I also loved the Buckwheat Crepe I ordered. The succotash was full of brussel sprouts, asparagus and red onion, and it combined with the mascarpone into a fork full of yumminess. I would return to have it over and over again!
So, had the steak and crepe dish not been so good, this review would have 2 less stars. However Oliver's redeemed themselves after a disastrous mac attempt. I'll be back to try the Brunch!
