| - No hype, but definitely a sweet spot to grab dinner. We don't exactly have spots like this in too many places across the US, where you can eat in a sort of patio-breezway in the middle of winter. That alone is worthy of praise. I sat underneath the heater and it was plenty warm, that's for sure. Didn't really need the heater. We sat on a long table with a big group and had dinner in the almost out of doors.
We started with a bunch of apps and I'mma stop you at the cauliflower because that's all you really need to know. All the industry magazines and trendwatchers say that 2017 is the year of the cauliflower, and I'd believe it. They roast it and season it to perfection and it didn't last long on the table. The salad with hummus was nice, the bruschetta was great, but it all began and ended with the cauliflower. Get it.
In another episode of "What I should have ordered," the recently-returned to the USA fella in front of me got the ribs. Not only were they massive but they were indeed delicious. I snuck a sample. Deal with it. I ordered a pasta dish and while the flavors were there, it didn't all come together texture-wise. Not sad about it, just wish I hadn't eaten ribs the night before and had the drive to eat another rack.
I don't drink, but apparently the owner is a former/current sommelier, so wine is a big deal here. They seem to have a wide offering and if you pair that with the ambiance you've got a night of furtive glances and hopeful coupling going on before you.
