| - Every time I visit Roosevelt Row, I pass the Bliss ReBAR. This time, however, I thought that I would give it a try. The atmosphere is somewhat eclectic with part of the restaurant inside near a small partially open kitchen; the other side is a patio overlooking the street and side. Either way the view is enough to satisfy your visit on its own.
The menu has several options including burgers, salads and breakfast (offered through the afternoon on Saturdays and Sundays). We ordered a plate of fries as an appetizer. An excellent choice. The fries come with sea salt, vinegar, pepper and other assorted topping. They are thin string fries, my favorite and cooked just right.
I had ordered the Buddha burger. This particular burger has a special sauce and vegetables that provide an Asian twist to an American favorite. It was cooked to perfection and tasted even better. My son decided to have the chicken and waffles. This selection was the highlight of the visit. The waffles were not over cooked or burnt. They arrived with butter on top and maple syrup that appeared and tasted like it came directly from a maple tree in the Northeast. The chicken was done in a breaded Japanese panko style with dipping sauce. Delicious. The cost per dish was around $10.00.
The delivery and preparation of the food needs to be recalibrated. The orders were received one by one. It appeared that the food was prepared in short bursts. In other words, our appetizer arrived quickly, but we had to wait for the rest of our meal. Once are meal was ready, it was ready alongside several other meals and it took some time to get into the waiter's hands. It may have been due to understaffing?
All and all, I will be REVisting the REBar in the near future.....................
