| - Welcome to Summerlicious 2013. First stop, Hot House Cafe.
I came here with a friend yesterday for lunch to try their $15 prix fixe menu. I started with the soup of the day (clam chowder soup), while my friend had the crab cakes. Needless to say, I should've gotten the crab cakes...the soup was quite disappointing, since the clams just melt in your mouth, there was too much bacon, and the bread that came with it was inedible.
Both of us got the smoked chicken and goat's cheese anglotti. However, despite that, our plate sizes were different! I got a round plate, while my friend got an oval plate. The anglotti was actually quite good! There were a couple of burnt spots in my plate at least, but overall I was satisfied with it.
For dessert, I got the cheesecake while my friend had the mango sorbet. The sorbet is a large portion; be careful of that if you're too full. The cheesecake is a smaller one, and once again it tasted quite good! However I didn't think the strawberry sauce went very well with the cheesecake...
Service was quite good the whole way, however when we had to leave it took a while for the waiter to arrive. We were only planning to stay till 1:15-1:30 (arriving at 12:30), but we ended up staying until 1:35-1:40. The receptionist informed us about the Sunday brunch and the Wednesday AYCE night as we were paying for the bill. It did sound interesting, and I'm willing to give this place another shot.
