| - I've been to Searsucker twice now and I am very, very impressed.
My first visit was during one of their friends and family nights, where much to my delight everything was "on the house". My girl friend and I enjoyed a glass of white wine and one of their signature Peter Rabbit cocktails. I wasn't a huge fan of the Peter Rabbit, but to be honest I don't usually have mixed cocktails like that with dinner. Admittedly it was a little too "advanced" for my palette ;) The bartender who took care of us was very friendly and knowledgeable, and perhaps most important - not offended that I didn't care for the drink.
As far as nibbles, we sampled the "no shishito" peppers, spicy pickles, bone marrow, and eggs & bacon pork belly. I had never eaten bone marrow before and while I was intimidated a little bit, I thought it was tasty. The eggs & bacon pork belly, however, hit it out of the park. Delicious, melt in your mouth!
For our entree we shared the diver scallops. If you have read any of my other reviews, you know I am a sucker for scallops, and these were exceptional. It escapes me now what they were accompanied with, but it doesn't matter because they were so scrumptious. Just do yourself a favor and order them.
My second visit to Searsucker was on a Sunday for brunch. I was shocked to find a less than half empty restaurant, what with it being a lovely sunny day and a DJ playing fun music. Anyway, I opted for the $15 bottomless mimosa deal, while my friends sipped on some fancy-pants bloody mary's. For food I selected the "green eggs and ham" which was their infamous pork belly on brioche toast, eggs, and herb infused saucy deliciousness. Needless to say I practically licked my plate.
Service, atmosphere, and food are all excellent! A+ :)
