| - Great spot! We went there for dinner tonight. Right away, the server came by with water and let us know what the special was. I hemmed and hawed over the menu for a while (so many amazing sounding dishes!) but I ultimately got an Iggy Pop to drink and the Komodo salad.
The Iggy Pop was great! It's an elderberry drink and I just loved it. Very well mixed and just awesome. I probably could've had 10. The Komodo salad is a new favorite! The shredded carrots, cucumbers and greens were all very fresh. I have two points to make about this salad - number one, the tempeh croutons are great and number two, the dressing is maybe the best dressing of all time. I find tempeh very intimidating... Fermented soy honestly doesn't sound that yummy to me. However, the tempeh croutons are DELICIOUS. They are crispy on the outside and tender and delicious on the inside, with just the perfect amount of spice to make them zing. Now, let me tell you about that dressing. It's a spicy, creamy, almond dressing and it is just incredible. I could probably drink a glass of it. I could spread it on toast. I could dip french fries into it. Or pour it over anything. It is the best. I was very happy with this salad.
The only thing was the dessert. I had an ice cream sandwich and the Coup loses a point for it. The gelato was great, but the cookies were dry and tasted like beets. I like beets as much as the next person, but the cookies were kinda just like chalky beets. I've had baking that had incorporated beets without tasting only like beets, so you know, this could have been less beet-y, but the gelato was great! I would just get a different dessert next time.
