| - Decided to give this a try when I was visiting my boyfriend right after he got out of class at nearby Lakeland Community College. We both wanted to try out a new place and this sure fit the bill--sounds like it opened earlier this year.
We both enjoyed the good selection of about 10 draft beers, including some of the upscale bar standards (Guinness, Harp, etc.) as well as a few more unusual microbrew choices. It looked like they had a large liquor selection but we did not partake of mixed drinks this time. As it was a bit later than the usual dinnertime (after 8 PM), it was largely a drinking and not eating crowd and they had a decent sized, attractive, younger group there. For those of you wondering.
We ordered the hummus, the Hot Potato pizza, and a veggie sandwich.
The hummus, as others have noted, is clearly the homemade variety and a red pepper flavor, and served with what appeared to be seasoned slices of pizza crust. I thought it pretty delicious, though traditionalists might balk at their substitute for pita.
The Hot Potato pizza was glorious, basically homemade mashed potatoes (the real kind) on top of a thin crust of pizza, where you can't tell where one carb ends and the other begins. All of this topped with cheddar and bacon. Very good, and I have a ton of leftover slices for the money ($12), so even though it's one of the pricier choices it did not seem unreasonable.
My BF is vegan, so he ordered the veggie sandwich sans cheese. It still comes with a smear of their hummus and also olive tapenade, and many veggies, so I think he liked it as more than just an ordinary veggie sandwich. However, one noted downside--which I think they could easily fix--as someone looking to go out dining with a vegan in tow, I do appreciate online menus as they confirm whether there are options for him. The Wild Goose is so new they don't have this yet, but it's something I'd recommend to entice picky, veggie, or vegan folks to your place.
