| - As a member of the Arcadia "hood", my friends and I are always anticipating the next big thing to open in the area. We are HUGE fans of The Grind, so we were anxiously awaiting the grand opening of its sister restaurant, Chick. Appropriately named, Chick serves up hands down the best chicken I've had in quite some time. Not only is this a great place to grab some grub with friends or family, but its a great alternative for take out when your looking for something to feed a group, and not wanting to cook it yourself. I highly recommend the mesquite chicken (perfect for sharing) with the mashed potato bar and creamed corn as sides. There are so many choices and options for sauces and sides, and everything can be washed down with a delicious cocktail.
I was most impressed by Chick's wine presentation. Everything is chilled to a perfect drinking temperature and they have dozens of choices to select from. The decor is cheeky, and represents the ambience of a barn as the sun is rising. They have old school chandeliers and enough room to seat everything from a party of two to a party of eight, without feeling too crowded, yet it's a quaint space, and don't have an overwhelming amount of tables.
All in all, Chick has the potential to fill in a niche in the "hood" that we haven't seen before, and I can't wait to see them grow, all while stuffing myself with their delicious home cooking.
