| - They like to do everything a little differently here was what my server announced early on in the engagement. They definitely do different.
The ambiance was very clean and fresh. I felt like I was in a little kitchen in the countryside. The restaurant really presents itself nicely and the staff are very friendly, energetic and charming. The meal came out of the kitchen pretty quickly and was hot when it arrived.
The coffee was excellent and that OJ was freshly squeezed and delicious, I had a couple.
When we arrived it wasn't very busy with about 3 other patrons and 3 of us, it was a nice little groove. Within 30 minutes about 7 more people arrived and it was pretty jammed.
Warning 1: This place is not for the claustrophobic or anyone with overly energetic children.
Warning 2: If you are adverse to trying 'different' meats', this place might be a good place for you to enjoy some drinks and a nice conversation.
The food was relatively unique, I had the 'suckling pig' pulled pork sandwich. I was told that it was their version of eggs Benedict, with a bit of a twist. My meal was tasty, but I don't think that I could get my head wrapped around the menu items, much less what was in my plate. It was a little disturbing and quite honestly, left my stomach feeling a little jumpy after the meal, not sure if it was the food or the experience but I seriously almost didn't make it out of the restaurant. The food was good and I ate most of it, it's just that I was a little nauseated afterward.
The two people with me had bacon and egger's, which seemed to be the most normalized meal on the menu at the time, so they went for it. The server advised us that this was their "attempt at the best bacon and egg sandwich, ever...", and a good attempt BTW. One of my guests enjoyed their meal immensely and the second one (12yrs old and on the verge of becoming a vegetarian) decided that he couldn't eat anything here. I think it had to do with the menu board.
