This was the first stop on my Winterlicious food tour this season. I choose this restaurant because I felt like some soul/southern comfort food. This place hit the spot! We made reservations for 3 for 2pm. The gps said the restaurant was about 30 mins from my house so we made arrangements to leave early because we haven't been to this part of the city before. We were still late and the reason for this is because if your not an expert of the parallel park then that's going to be an issue. It took me 3 attempts but I managed to squeeze into a spot with the help of my girls.
Now this restaurant is tiny, a true gem in the wall. Very unique form of design with great service. Our server was friendly and went the extra step to make us feel like our business was appreciated. Their menus are printed on what looks to be an old school vinyl record. Love the concept.
As being there for Winterlicious, we had a set menu to choose from. I chose the Deep fried pickles as my appetizer. I have to say I was a little, ok maybe a lot disappointed with them. The breading/batter didn't stay on the pickles. The minute you tried to pick it up with your fork you only got pickles.. for the main mean I ordered their signature sandwich called "The Harlem" it is a 3 layer Sammy of black forest ham, jerk chicken, avocado, mango mayo, jalapeƱo havarti, served on a ciabatta bun. It was out of this world!! I don't know how to stress the bust of flavour you get every bite you take. They blend so well that you can't tell what is what. For desert I enjoyed a outstanding mango cream tart that has inspired me to try and create in the comfort of my own home.
I would return when I'm in the area to try something a bit different. Maybe their dinner menu.
