| - Nan and B! 3.5 stars.
Our party of 6 had reservations at 8:00. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our table, which was slightly annoying but mitigated by a delicious cocktail, the Saint's Cut. Bourbon, St. Germaine, prosecco and citrus juices. Never in a million years would I have thought to combine bourbon with St. Germaine. It was amazing! I downed that one pretty fast and then ordered the Refashioned. I am a girl who LOVES an Old Fashioned. This cocktail packs a serious punch. Bourbon, orange and peach bitters and muddled strawberries, oranges and cherries. Don't let all that sweetness cover up how strong this drink really is!
Appetizers: I am not usually a cheese dip lover, but the poblano cheese dip is out of this world. Smoky and cheesy...not your average queso! Wonderful with the chips.
Those peppadew poppers were also fantastic. The deviled eggs were fine but nothing out of the ordinary.
Entrees: My husband ordered the Meatloaf, which I wish I had gotten. The sriracha ketchup on top was too spicy for him but just right for me. He asked for it on the side, but his wish was not granted.
I ordered the crispy beet burger and found it to be quite bland. However, I LOVED the Brussels sprouts that I chose as my side. I am trying to figure out what sauce they are cooked in. Hoisin maybe? Sweet and tangy. So yum.
Dessert: No question--get the cheesecake. It's of the light and fluffy variety and served with the most delicious caramel drizzle.
My only real complaint is that we felt rushed the entire meal. It was very obvious that they were trying to turn our table as quickly as possible. I prefer to savor my food and enjoy the meal as a dining experience, rather than wolf down my food and get out. Just me? I think not.
