| - Well i have to say this was surprisingly very good! i ordered the buttermilk chicken fingers (, wild) wild style is spicy, and it was spicy in a adorable kind of way, not really hot, just extra seasoning. Regardless the chicken fingers were out standing!! great batter, crunchy but light, not greasy in any way. The fingers were huge too, seriously, no kidding, the size of a baby's arm lol... huuuge... i ordered 6 which comes with your choice of side, but just in case the serving was small, i thought I'd try the mac and cheese too. Well first off, the 6 finger meal was huge, i could barely finish it. the shoestring fries were excellent as well. The only disappointment was the mac and cheese, i found it very lacking in flavour, the crushed croutons on top were a decent idea, but seemed a little stale to me. it really needs to be finished in the oven and wasn't. The other issue was the lack of cheese sauce, it was pretty dry. I tasted more pasta than cheese, it really needed to be much creamier and cheesier. Overall, i was very happy i ordered from this place, the food was surprisingly delicious, well except for the above mentioned mac and cheese, it wasn't awful,, but for a Chef David Adjey creation, it was not good, very substandard. My guess is That dish is likely not being executed to Chef Adjey's standards, i suppose this is what happens when you have other people making your food. Some people just don't have as much pride in what they produce nearly as much as the chef.
Will i order again?? hell yes... (and I did) the chicken and fries were crazy good. will i order the mac and cheese again? hell no.... I want to try the roasted chicken, but man the buttermilk fingers keep calling me... maybe one day I will... for now it's all about the fingers, or maybe we should rename them to arms! :)
EDIT: I had the Mac and cheese again, just to be sure what i originally got wasn't a bad batch, sadly it was EXACTLY the same as the first time, again a very pasty texture, seriously lacking any cheese sauce, the strongest flavours were from the pasta itself and the fairly bad crushed croutons on top. REALLY disappointing, especially since this is from a renown chef.. Chef Adjey, i hope you're reading this.. your crew obviously isn't executing your recipe properly.. i hope thats why at least :) outside of the mac and cheese this place is pretty great. just stay away from the very bland, very uninspired mac and cheese.
