| - Delicious food, cold drinks, comfortable atmosphere...I love this place.
I just got back from eating dinner here and I couldn't wait to share my experience. I ordered a Strongbow cider, which arrived crisp and cold in a matter of minutes. For my entree, I ordered the Corned Beef & Cabbage with mashed potatoes and an onion demi sauce.
Now, it needs to be said that this dish in general is my favorite, but only the way my mom makes it. Time and time again, I have ordered it in the hopes of getting remotely close to the deliciousness of my mom's corned beef and cabbage.
They have all failed...until now. It was AMAZING. The corned beef was tender and didn't have too much fat on it, the mashed potatoes were creamy and fluffy, and the cabbage was cooked to perfection; buttery and slightly meaty without overpowering the cabbage flavor. It was all wonderful. I wanted to keep shoveling it into my mouth but sadly, there is only so much room in my stomach (the foodie's Achilles heel) and I had to get some boxes (yay leftovers!).
The servers were friendly and accommodating, the ambiance was relaxed and comfortable, and the food was delicious. The Kettle Black, do NOT change this dish, I beg of you. It is the best I've had and I'll be damned if you take it away from me!
