| - I'm taking one star off only because it was crowded. There, now I can get to everything wonderful about this place. This might take a while.
Setting: Pewter Rose was a gorgeous location. And with the redesign, it was only made better. Lots of natural light, great paint scheme, interesting decor. Comfy seating. It all works.
Drink: Love the focus on local and NC craft brewing. My Birdsong Jalepeno Pale Ale was perfect.
Food: Lordy, it is amazing. Too much to choose from? "The menu is almost as big as Cheesecake Factory." observed my cohort. There is a lot, but so much of it looks so good, that it's challenging to pick. Here's what I went with -
Appetizer - Appalachian Eggrolls. BBQ in an eggroll. This shouldn't work. It seems like something from TGIFriday's. But dang, take everything that's great about a regular eggroll, and combine that with everything great about good BBQ, and there you go. Good portion size to share, without being too filling.
Main lunch course: Shoo Grill Cheese. Havarti and pimento cheese, with ham and maple bacon, and fried green tomatoes on nicely toasted oat bread. There are no words. Eating it makes you happy. So, so very happy.
I would be remiss to not mention the complimentary biscuits. They should be charging for these. Another cohort, a biscuit afficiando, claimed they were in his top 3.
Price: Within reason. Not cheap and not shockingly expensive.
Amazing. Wondrous. Pleasant. Delicious. Can't wait to go back.
