| - So after hearing my friends talk about this restaurant and getting a coupon off of restaurants.com, i decided i HAD to try this restaurant out.
My bf and i decided to ordered their 4 course meal. The total meal came with 2 quick tasting dishes, and then the actual 4 course.
Overall (4): I love this restaurant for the decor, the atmosphere, the service, friendliness of waiter/hostee, and then their SOUP (the best part), their appetizers (mussels), and their dessert.
First Dish(5): Sweet Onion Soup and Chicken Soup
Since I don't eat onions, my boyfriend got their classic sweet onion soup while they made me their chicken soup. As my bf would say, the onion soup was "reminiscence of all the best parts of a French Onion soup while the soggy bread and with a thick creamy base." As for the chicken soup, the broth had such strong chicken base that you could tell they really spent time creating the broth. The soup was by far the BEST part of our entire meal.
Second Dish(4): Chicken Liver Bruschetta
I'm not the most daring eater and i've never had chicken liver. At first taste, the chicken liver had a texture I didn't like, but with the apricot sauce on the bruschetta, it really made this dish stand out!! It was a dish I never would've tried that I ended up enjoying.
Third Dish(4): Rabbit Meat & Lemongrass Ginger Mussels
Rabbit meat... pretty interesting to have 2 consecutive dishes where I had to try something i've never had. The rabbit meat was mixed with Spaetzle and the spaetzle gave it alitle oompf. This dish was delicious and tasted nice-- not too salty, but not too subtle. The lemongrass mussels was a big contrast to it. The sauce with the mussels were so good and to match it with chinese sausage-- YUM, perfection!
Fourth Dish(2): Beet Salad and Greens Salad
The beet was really delicious. It had a hint of dill in it so i loved it. The greens salad had cabbage/lettuce with cheese on it and there wasn't much of a flavor to it. It was good, but there just wasn't anything too special about it.
Fifth Dish(3): Roasted Chicken and Pork
As the main entree of the night, I wasn't really WOWed by the cooking. The roasted chicken was served with Carolina rice. The carolina rice was amazing although I thought it was a bit undercooked (my boyfriend didn't think so though). The chicken though, was way overcooked and for white meat to be overcooked, it was hard to eat. The pork thought was amazing. It was cooked like a steak and so delicious and juicy. It was served with a little salad like cole slaw and meh, the salad didn't have much flavor.
Sixth Dish(5): Funnel Cake and Cherry Pie
WOW! The desserts were amazing! Such a good ending to a good night. THe funnel cake wasn't too sweet and to top of it, they paired it with a flaun that had a tint of lavender flavor. The cherry pie came with a scoop of amorado ice cream. The fruit was fresh and the pie crust was delicious!!!
