My in-laws had just landed and we needed some lunch. They were staying at the Marriot just across the street and the woman at the front desk recommended we come here. Lucky for me, this place has been on my to-do list!
Mr. And Mrs. H shared a burger with a side of French fries and onion rings, hubby ordered the Rueben and I ordered the pineapple Upside-down pancakes with a side of fruit and bacon.
I got to try some of the burger and onion rings. While the onion rings were just fine, the burger with avocado was a solid choice.
While my pancakes were pleasing to the eye (they were pretty huge!) I have to say that they were just fine. The pineapple was baked inside, which made it loose most of the juice that you would keep in a pineapple Upside-down cake. Basically, I wish I'd had a ton more pineapple.
I think my husband's Rueben was the real winner of the day! It was piled high with plenty of meat and all the flavors were spot on. Even the roasted rye bread that looked pretty ordinary had fantastic texture - toasted on the outside and soggy on the inside.
Both couples decided to share a Chocolate Cream Pie. These things are huge! They're served in a very deep bowl. There's an Oreo crust, the chocolate Cream which was a nice balance between pudding and mousse, a thick layer of whipped cream and is sprinkled with chocolate chips. While the whipped cream tasted heavy and oily to me, I loved the other components. The Oreo crust and chocolate chips added some great texture. And frankly, I could've gone for five more layers of the Oreo crumble!!
I certainly hope to visit here again soon. When we do, I would totally revisit that Rueben. Then maybe try the Chocolate Lava cake for dessert!
