I decided I had to at least try one night of "Yelp Eats!" and found Saturday night a convenient night to drop and to say hello to my Yelp-pals. Props to Sabz for representing for Saturday!
I had the lobster thai bisque and the angus burger. The bisque was good and it was interesting to taste a bisque that used coconut milk as an alternative to cream. But in honesty I think they should've stuck with cream. The broth tasted like a Filipino seafood stew I couldn't quite get my finger on.The angus burger was delicious and meaty but I was really impressed with their fries, which was simply garnished with parmesan cheese and rosemary. We had a lengthy discussion about fries and agreed that the best pieces are the tiny crispy kernels that always fall to the bottom of the basket, where it acquires a high density of seasoning.
The atmosphere of the lounge was great. I enjoyed the music which wasn't loud enough that we had to yell at each other. and the room wasn't too crowded with people. We definitely stayed around for a long time and enjoyed the conversation.
I'm not sure how much our bill came to exactly, but Wendy figured that we bought 80 lunches with the meal our group had alone (as every dollar donated to Yelp eats goes towards a children's lunch). There is going to be one FAT kid walking around this city!
