| - I love these guys, I really do. The owners, Chris and Tina, are UK transplants and some of the kindest, coolest and hard-working people you'll meet. You'll see Tina greeting and seating, but more often than not Chris is hidden in the kitchen, working the stove. Which explains why everything is so. damn. tasty.
We stayed in Davidson for the entire summer, and it was such a relief to have X as an option. It feels like something you'd find in a much larger town, more worldly thanks to its creators.
While Jeff swears by the pasta specials, I'm hooked on the seafood. They grill up a wonderfully tender and flavorful salmon as well as an Asian style Ahi Tuna. For lunch, it was always the goat cheese salad, with a crisp-on-the-outside baked goat cheese patty right in the center, all gooey and soft inside - this may sound high-fat, but I prefer to think of it as high-calcium ;)
And I highly recommend either saving room for dessert or stopping in for a glass of wine or coffee and one of X's sinful confections. I'm a chocolate mousse girl myself, but they're known for the sticky toffee pudding. If you've got a serious sweet tooth try the banoffie (not an Italian term, but banana+toffee=banoffie) pie.
Can't wait to visit Davidson again and drop in on this local hot spot.
