| - We made two stops here during our stay at they Hard Rock. A late night dinner and a quick lunch on departure day. Here is a summary of our choices.
1) House Made Burratta - Pears, Walnuts, Balsamic, Grilled Bread
2) Roasted Salmon with Creamy Barley, Poached Artichokes, Grilled Asparagus, Mushrooms, Preserved Lemon, Chile Vinaigrette.
3) Fried Chicken - Honey Biscuit, Potatoes, Gravy.
4) Chicken Meatballs - Buffalo Sauce, Dolce Gorgonzola, Celery Leaf.
5) Soft Pretzels with Provolone Fondue.
I have listed the items from our most to least favorites. The Burratta was so good we ordered it on both visits. The Salmon and Fried Chicken were Solid entrees, worthy of consideration on future visits.
The Meatballs were hot, that's it, just hot. We did not taste any of the Vinegar or Butter that usually adds balance to a Buffalo Sauce. There wasn't enough Gorgonzola or Celery Leaf to cut the heat either.
The Pretzels did not live up to the hype I've seen on Yelp and other sights. The Pretzels themselves were Doughy and tasted more like Dinner Rolls than Pretzels and an unpleasant skin had formed on the Fondue.
I also had a Cocktail called, Velvet Death which featured Gin, Absinthe, Velvet Falernum and Cointreau. It was appropriately named, smooth, but amazingly strong! One was enough to give me quite a buzz!
Service was fine and they are easily Wheelchair Accessible. Culinary Dropout had both highs and lows, but the highs mean I'll probably give it another shot the next time we stay at The Hard Rock.
