| - Prior to Sunnyslope's Art Walk, I decided a drink was in order. After all, what's the point of walking without drinking. Otherwise, I would be driving the Art Walk and then they would have to change the name to Art Drive and no one would go. So Central Grille with it's generous parking fit the bill.
We sat on the patio which is quite nice, once the table with the screaming brat exited. By then, I really needed that drink. They have a great happy hour with $5 glasses of house wine, $3.50 well drinks and import or draft beer. The house wines were not appealing to me, but all of their wine prices are quite reasonable, although the by-the-glass selection is limited.
We ordered two appetizers at only $5 each. However, they were small, so definitely order more than one unless you're the girl that never eats in front of your guy. I'm not that girl. We had the artisan cheese plate and the fig jam crostini. The cheese plate included a blue cheese, a goat cheese, and a third soft cheese (some kind of cream cheese). The cranberry-walnut bread was a nice touch, even if the cheeses were somewhat ordinary. The fig jam crostini was so crazy delicious though with carmelized onion and melted gorgonzola as well.
My husband wanted dinner, but since I didn't think there would be sofas along the art walk, we opted to have only an entree, no side dishes. I went with the stuffed salmon. The stuffing was made with crab meat. Unfortunately, the salmon was undercooked around the stuffing. Had I been resting after dinner instead of walking, I might have actually sent it back, something I rarely do.
The happy hour portion of service was actually a little slow considering the restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived, but our server was friendly. All in all, an enjoyable time.
