I have ordered from Slate a few times now. What on earth do they do for their shrimp cocktail to be superb compared to others?
The last order I placed contained 3, yes, 3, orders of their shrimp cocktail. It's one of the few places around (for delivery) that have it on the menu. $11 huge shrimpos, charred lemon and house cocktail sauce. Incredible! I eat the leftover cocktail sauce. Go on, feel free to judge me but it's that good.
The burchetta surprised me when it arrived because I was expecting the bread slices similar to other places with mix and match bruchetta boards. Slate has what would be bite size bruchetta for me, sliced in half so they're nibble sized, for me.... again, go ahead and judge me. It was delicious but I certainly wanted more. I'm likely to skip next time just due to the cost vs the portion.
I've also had their Kale salad. I have to admit, it was more kale than anything else and for me, it almost tasted as though the quinoa wasn't properly toasted off to get rid of that fast quinoa has when it's hit boiled. Not my favorite although the kale was fresh it just didn't do it for me.
I would live on the shrimp cocktail though and I know it's a weird item to go on and on about. I'd like to give their dinner menu a try only I keep finding myself ordering around lunch time before dinner is offered.
Next? That lobster risotto. I will def update once I've tried a few more items out.
