| - What an amazing place that is literally a few blocks from Las Vegas Blvd.
Where to start?
First, the food:
The artisanal care and love to their Hainanese Chicken Rice is apparent from their house made sauces that accompany the dish to the use of organic chicken sourced from San Joaquin Valley (and cooked to perfection, juicy, tender and flavorful), to the chicken rice that is seasoned well and balanced.
The Thai Caramel chicken wings were amazing - lemon, ginger, garlic with sweetness from the honey , along with a crispy crunchiness. In San Francisco there is a restaurant that serves generally mediocre food yet has long lines and less than desirable service day in and day out because of its chicken wings. Flock and Fowl wins out hands down.
Second, the service:
Most small places have a great signature dish but lack service. Here it's sort of an hybrid. You sit down, decide what you order and go to the counter area to place your order and pay by cash or credit (via their Clover POS). The food and beverages are otherwise served as expected at table service restaurants.
But what sets Flock and Fowl apart, elevating it to the top is what I witnessed during the 55 minutes I was their. Jenny the front of the house knew the names of many of the customers that came to eat as well as what they normally order and their preferences. This wasn't just one customer but at least 5 customers. This demonstrates a commitment to not only food but to providing great customer service.
If only there was something like Flock and Fowl in the Bay Area (Peninsula), I would dine regularly.
Note to Flock and Fowl: If you do open up in the Bay Area, let me know, please.
