| - I stumbled upon this restaurant after a day where everything was going wrong, so I admit, I was vulnerable and needed my food to hug my soul. I had never seen or heard of this place but the name greeted me with the warmth I needed, so I went inside. I was greeted by friendly staff and took a seat at the bar.
The bartender took my drink order and gave me a menu. I was in the mood for something healthy and protein packed. I started with the horseradish deviled eggs with candied bacon and chives. Holy hot damn, these were very literally the best deviled eggs I've ever eaten. Trust me when I say this is not hyperbole. The balance of sweet and savory with the added bite from the horseradish was like a divine trinity in my mouth.
For my main dish, I ordered the baby lettuces salad. Get this, it had baby lettuces, (of course) a dijon-balsamic vinaigrette, bruleed goat cheese, dried apricots, candied pecans, and was topped with grilled chicken. In case you don't know, let me explain what bruleed goat cheese is. Its a creamy round of goat cheese with a toasted, carmelized shell. If you are new to bruleed goat cheese, like I was, imagine if baby Jesus, the Dalai Lama, a unicorn, and Betty White got together to formulate the best way to eat a round of goat cheese. That's what this tasted like. Pure, Zen, magical truth that never goes out of style. Naturally, everything else on the salad was pretty much gravy. Not literally people. There was no gravy on the salad. Just perfectly balanced flavors, and a dressing to bring it home.
The bartender was super down to earth and friendly, too!
