| - The food at this restaurant is simply delightful in presentation, smells and taste.
I went to this location as part of a UYE hosted by Deb L., went with my best Sara V and was looking forward to trying this place after reading the many five star accolades and reviews of this restaurant. I do not give out five stars often but if I was to base it on the atmosphere, and decoration of this restaurant, it would be five stars BUT five stars are for the food and the food is a five star delight.
Sara V and I decided to share two apps and split an entree. We ordered the Petite Grilled Fromage (capicola, seahive cheddar, salad rouge) and the Proscuitto Wrapped Shrimp (blackberry glaze + spicy soy mustard), followed by a split order of the Thai BBQ Baby Back Ribs and Green Apple Slaw with jicama & watercress + smoked gouda mac-n-cheese. The petite fromage was delicious and the salad rouge had so many flavors with the avocado, and the golden raisins. It was a party of flavors with every chew and the melted cheddar enveloped the brioche bread just right, it was heaven. And the OMG moment came from the Proscuitto Wrapped Shrimp, served on a skewer, the blackberry glaze complemented the salad served with the shrimp, and the glaze provided the sweet with tangy of the spicy soy mustard, there were so many flavors to enjoy that it was a "as good as it gets" moment!
Our entree was another winner with BBQ baby back ribs, the flavors derived from the the sauce was just delicious, it complemented well with the apple slaw. I think the disappointment with our entree was the smoked gouda mac-n-cheese because I hardly could taste the gouda, and panko bread crumb topping didn't help the dish or do justice, it was quite bland and out of place for a flavorful dish.
Our party was treated to a dessert sweet board of goodies courtesy of the Herb box, on this confectionary tray was a red velvet cupcake, a fig apple bundt cake, a rootbeer cupcake, a passionfruit type cake and a chocolate type pastry. The Red velvet cupcake topping was yummy but the cupcake itself was moist somewhat but not throughout, the passionfruit had a good outer shell, but my favorite sweet treat was the fig apple cake, it reminded me of strudel.
Overall, i enjoyed my UYE dinner, making new friends. And I did love the food made by Becky (the chef/owner). our appetizers and entree was delicious and I look forward to coming back for lunch/dinner and hopefully Sunday brunch.
