| - I will admit, knowing the story behind Superior Motors, I was already a fan before I stepped foot inside the building. But since this is a review of my actual experience, I'll let the yelpers do a little history review on their own time:)
The ambiance is awesome: industrial + edgy with a staff that is warm and friendly. Despite our reservation, we ended up having to wait for about 20 minutes before being seated, which honestly was not a problem, as my friend and I just checked out the decor etc. The hostess was lovely and offered to order cocktails for us at the bar and bring them back to us in the entryway while we waited, because the bar area has a "no standing" policy. We decided to wait on our drinks, because standing in the doorway just felt a little bit awkward...but since the bar was full we were out of luck to grab a seat this time around. The space is divided into a main dining room with bar, and then off to the left is a second dining room that offers a slightly quieter atmosphere, but the same outstanding service even though we are slightly tucked away.
Anthony was our waiter, and from the moment he approached our table we knew he was good! He guided us through the wine and cocktail menus, as well as the food menu and gave us a little history on his work in the restaurant industry and his love of chef Kevin's newest endeavor. I felt like I'd known him for years! He was great! Uber positive energy, not too pushy, and very knowledgeable on all of the menu items (which are unique as only Kevin Sousa can do!)
I went into this meal expecting "different" menu options, but also preparing to leave wanting a snack, as that was my typical experience at his former restaurant. I could not have been more wrong! My friend and I each ordered an appetizer, an entree, and dessert, and by the time I left, I was borderline uncomfortably full. That halibut was HUGE! Flaky, cooked to perfection, with flavors that tasted clean and fresh. The rice cake appetizer was really creative and flavorful as well (see photo) but could have easily served as my entree, or at least is a good app to share. (Don't be fooled though...I ate every last bite). I finished off with the smoked chocolate dessert, which reminded me of a flan in texture, a really really nice smoky chocolate mousse flavor, but I have to say, the morel mushroom on top didn't do it for me. I wanted to love it...different idea, eclectic combo as only Chef Sousa would do, but I couldn't like it. So I sadly tucked it aside and devoured the rest of the dessert. Now my friend had ordered the pound cake and let me just say there was nothing not to love about that!! I could have licked the bowl. I look forward to returning and trying more of his dishes, because I am certain one dish is as good or better than the next! I will try to get there earlier next time in hopes of scoring a bar seat and trying out some of those bar snacks...it's a solid 4 star experience, and I hope everyone checks out this great Braddock establishment.
