| - This review is for Happy Hour. In a word...Fantastic!!!! The menu selections for food were outstanding! The drinks were equally great! The bar service was stellar. The entire experience was outstanding!
My husband and I arrived at approximately 5:45 and were able to get seats at the bar. The restaurant is gorgeous and the bar is very sophisticated. The two female bartenders greeted immediately. What jumped out at us right away was their obvious enjoyment of being there. During our visit, they were genuinely friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu, upbeat, and they checked on us numerous times to make sure that were were happy and well taken of. I really can't say enough great things about the bartenders and their excellent service.
I'm sure you're wondering what we drank and ate...so...here we go:
HH Drinks: Husband had the Mulekick and I had a Mojito. The Mulekick was had a very unique taste (you REALLY need to like Ginger). I didn't like it and my husband only had a few sips before switching to the White Ale they had on tap. As I was trying to decide on a drink, I asked the bartender what a good option would be for something not too sweet and she said that she could have the HH Mojito, not as sweet...and she did just that! It was delicious!
HH Food: Husband had the BLT Camelback Burger. He LOVED it. It was juicy, spicy, fresh, and delicious! I had the Short Rib sliders and they were awesome! The meat was tender, moist, and seasoned perfectly! The toasted slider buns, cheddar cheese, and slice of pickle brought the flavors together perfectly! We also shared an order of the Kennebec Cheese Fries. Please note that these are not just any run-of-the mill Cheese Fries (get your mind away from the nasty vision of Velveeta!!)...these were thin-cut, perfectly crisp, deliciously seasoned fries topped with the a high quality, delicious cheddar cheese. YUM!! My husband was in love with the cheese! Lastly, we also ordered the Mini Popovers...and yes....they are as heavenly as everyone says they are!!
To summarize....we really couldn't have been happier with the experience, the food, and the service. We went to several Happy Hours while in the area and this was right at the top of our favorites. Two for two for Camelback Happy Hours (see my review of RBar, too!)
I posted pictures of our drink and food selections so feel free to take a look...and drool accordingly. :-)
