| - Flat Top Grill is a new build your own stir-fry establishment located in the renovated Hilldale area. (It's across from the Great Dane) I have quite a few picky-eater friends who fear anything spicy or "not a hamburger," so I'm glad that a place like this exists so we can both find something that registers on our own levels of "risk taking." The set up is as follows, you sit down, possibly order drinks/appetizers, and then are sent to an area that resembles a salad bar. You choose whether you want rice or noodles, and then you can pile on as much vegetables as your little bowl can handle. There is a variety of sauces at the end and tasting cups so you can have a vague idea what your meal is going to taste like. The sauces give a shout out to most Asian cuisine, but I cannot attest to their authenticity. (Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, etc.) After you chose your starch, your veggies, and your meat, you can choose whether to have your meal with flat bread, seafood added, tofu added, stir fried, made into a salad, or made into a soup. (There are probably more choices, I just can't remember them.) Additionally, you have an option to indicate that you have a food allergy so your food is placed on a separate clean grill. Additionally you can make this an all you can eat event for $1-$1.50 more, but then you pay extra to take any food home.
For vegetarians, there is EVERY KIND, of fake meat available on the bar. However, during busy times, vegetarians, no one seems to gives a damn if the beef in the protein area accidentally slips into sauces that border that side, so if you're a rigid vegetarian, be weary. My dining companion wished that he had indicated he had a food allergy because he insisted he could taste the sauces I put on my food on his food. I also want to add, on the night that we went, our service was not good, and we saw at least one other patron expressing her dissatisfaction with the service with the manager. We managed to have a pleasant dining experience despite this, and I'm crediting the poor service to the fact that it's a new restaurant and they may still working out the kinks.
We both enjoyed our meals and are considering coming back at a later date to do the all you can eat option just so we could experiment a little more with different concoctions. I wouldn't say this is fine dining/cuisine at all, but it is a place you can take people with a variety of likes and dislikes. (3.5 stars!)
