| - Been wanting to try based on the word of mouth and reviews, took a group of 6 after a hike at Orchard Hills Park. Easy to miss the restaurant, kind of tucked in out of view. The decor is nice, rustic chic, but sparse. They got us set up and had no problem with us doing separate checks.
Everyone was really impressed with the food, there are some serious culinary chops in the kitchen here. I had the Cajun Groper, a really nice sized fillet, perfectly cooked and topped with a hot spice mix; delicious, but it has a bit of a kick, so be careful. The sides I tried were all good, with the highlight being the mac and cheese, a nice smooth blend with a nice little smokey flavor. Portion sizes are generous especially when you consider the prices and the quality.
Save room for desert, we had the cheesecake which was a large cube of dense New York style cheesecake with strawberries and whipped cream. But the real winner was the special dessert apples and peaches with puff pastry; it came out steaming hot and tasting like the best peach apple pie you could imagine.
Service overall was good, but we did have a couple of little flubs; the desserts took quite a while to get out, I'm guessing since the special dessert was made fresh from scratch. Also a cup of coffee came out a bit stale. Everything else made up for these. We will be heading back soon.
While the BBQ is very good, there is some other great items on the menu, including some very good fish and seafood. Also there are some exemplary desserts. Get there now before they are featured on Food Network and they get incredibly crowded.
