Definitely a nice addition to Gastonia. There are very few dining places that aren't chain restaurants. Thank God we finally found something a little different.....and it is actually pretty good.
First off I have to say that the staff was incredible. We had a super cute waitress that was extremely friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and on top of her game. Every single person that walked by our table stopped by to speak ....from other wait staff to hostess to 3 different cooks. I was thoroughly impressed with how nice everyone was.
The atmosphere was colorful and slightly busy in decor, however it was comfortable.
On to the food:
My BF got a Fried Green Tomato Sandwich that was on Foccacia bread served with home made chips with ranch dipping sauce. He raved over his and how wonderful it was. I tried his chips....and they were definitely perhaps the best chips I ever had.
After a tough decision between the Meatloaf and the Chicken Dijonaise.....I ended up with the chicken. I kinda wish that I had had the meatloaf instead. While my chicken was not dry.....what was on top of it was charred and burned to a crisp (I believe it was supposed to be onion). At anyrate....I pushed the topping off and smeared the mustard on the chicken and ate it anyway. The rice and the veggies were decent enough. I would probably try something else next visit.
The absolute best part of the meal was dessert. All desserts are made in house and they are awaiting you in the dessert cooler. We chose the German Chocolate cake. When it arrived to our table....it was the most colossal piece I've ever seen. Big enough for 4 people. The cake was somewhat dense and packed with flavor and texture. I'm not sure I've ever experienced a GC cake quite like this before.
As we were eating our cake....the General Manager/Chef/Dessert Master brought us a complementary order of Caramel Flan fresh out of the oven. It was Oooooh Soooooo Goooooood! Warm, creamy, sweet and soft.....perfectly baked. It was equally good as the GC cake.
All in all, the experience was worth going back for a second try. We were both super happy and are excited about this new find.
Try it out, see for yourself.....and be sure not to skip dessert!
