| - This place can be a lil hard to find lately cuz of all the scaffolding up around this area. It's just around the corner from where I work, so I chose this as a bday dinner spot. Made reservations the day of and got seated right away when we showed up. It's busy, loud, and tables are pretty close together. This isn't the place for a nice quiet dinner.
I had to order the daily risotto because, for some reason, somewhat mushy rice appeals to me. It's always a veggie risotto and today it happened to be some spicy corn risotto.It was done really well, the rice wasn't overcooked and it was just spicy enough to make my mouth tingle.
The other dish we ordered was the shrimp po'boy, based on recs. Not sure what to expect, but this didn't really live up to how good I thought it would be. I love shrimp and I love breaded shrimp, but when you put it in a sandwich with sauce and toppings, the breading turns into a soggy mess. Maybe I need to eat it faster next time, I dunno.
Ended the night with the famed burnt marshmallow sandwich, which was every good as I imagined it to be. I love the choco cookie they used to sandwich the marshmallow ice cream.
Drinks were reasonable. I got a Bourbon Old Fashioned and it was good enough to last me the dinner with a buzz. Great night.
