I've only been once (as part of Summerlicious) and I'm a serious fan! Given how other Summerlious experiences have sometimes left me wanting more, this was a pleasant surprise.
First off, our server (Wendy) was delightful, helpful and funny. She took the time to explain a few food items and lovingly described the soup of the day (a watermelon gazpacho) and the southern inspired signature cocktails.
Each course was delicious! My date and I both had the watermelon gazpacho as our starter but I heard the table next to us going nuts about their alligator, so that sounds good. For the main course the blackened tofu was tasty (but I think next step I'll go with the French Market Vegetarian) and my date's BBQ trio was tasty (or so she says). I usually HATE bread pudding but my date's bread pudding was AMAZING and my pecan pie was super tasty.
In response to a previous comment about the BBQ Trio being not very spiced - it was explained to us by our phenomenal server, that the Summerlicious menu focuses on the less spicy items to be a little more palatable to the not-very-adventurous diner. It sounds like that piece of information would have been welcome for everyone.
A couple other tidbits:
- Several stellar vegetarian options and at least one vegan item that I spotted. No boring pasta primavera at this place!
- Apparently they are going to be doing prix fix every night AND they plan to always have a vegetarian option and I've been told the chef likes to get especially creative with vegetarian options, always having at least one or two that contain proteins like tofu or tempeh (in addition to other options).
- Cocktails were amazing. I highly recommend the Gator Bait for sweet treat!
