| - I feel like I found a hidden gem!
I was a little confused when I tried to find the Black Locust, and I drove past it once. Then once I parked, I was confused about where to go in, do I sit down, or do I order? Are all of these restaurants connected? I still don't know the answer to those questions, and I don't even care because there is so much character in this little Robinia Courtyard.
We ordered at the counter of Black Locust, then took our # to a table outside. The server came and delivered half of our order, but took the number off the table, so when someone else tried to bring us the second half of the order she was also confused. I'm not sure why they didn't wait until the order was complete to bring everything. Again, I did not even care because this courtyard is seriously cute.
We ordered the lemon curd and blackberry crepe, the Danny Boy, and the Farrow Porridge Bowl. The crepe was absolute heaven. No other words could describe it. The Danny Boy and Porridge Bowl were also delicious. They did lack seasoning, so we had to add our own. Finding salt and pepper was also an adventure, and they really had NO seasoning WHATSOEVER, so it was necessary. All of the ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors meddling together so well, especially in the Porridge Bowl.
We loved this place. Despite the confusion and lack of seasoning, I'm tempted to give it 5 stars. However, it was definitely a learning experience, the service was non-existent (but maybe there isn't supposed to be any?), but I'm interested to go back and try some booze.
