| - Completely and utterly blown away.
Soul has always been on my list of to-dos, but I think I always found myself going somewhere else because I couldn't find anything super special about this place ... but boy, was I wrong.
We came in around 8:30 p.m. on Monday and didn't have to wait, but the place was packed. Seated and greeted immediately, we took a minute to look over the menu and decided on starting with the dip trio; we chose hummus (which I believe was Tahini that day), tzatziki, and some caviar sauce. Despite loving all three of them, the dips lasted us all our courses, and there was still so much leftover at the end.
With guidance from our server, we ordered the Korean BBQ wings, dirty nachos and pork belly tacos.
The wings were super tender, and the sauce wasn't anything I expected. Honestly, I could've done without the dirty nachos; the chicken skins tasted almost burnt and the pimento cheese seemed to be just melted American. The pork belly tacos were by far my favorite, and they are reasonably hyped. Sweetness of the pork belly was perfectly balanced with the sourness of the watermelon.
For dessert, we had the chocolate brioche bread pudding with a miso caramel ice cream. I loved the ice cream because the caramel wasn't too overpowering. The bread pudding itself wasn't too chocolatey either, and the perfect size.
Needless to say, will be back, and I can't wait.
