| - Trying this brand new restaurant just opened in the last couple days. My wife and I stopped in mid-afternoon. There were several customers at the bar, but none at the tables.
My wife had the chicken breast over hummus with a salad and sautéed spinach. The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. The hummus paired with it perfectly. The spinach was outstanding, garlicky, nutty and buttery. The only slight complaint she had was that the vinaigrette was a bit too tart to pair with the rest of the meal.
I had two starters, the bacon-wrapped shrimp and Pop's meatballs. Both paired very well with the Joseph Carr Cabernet Sauvignon.
The shrimp was awesome, cooked to perfect tenderness and wrapped in smokey, crispy, bacony goodness! It was served with a buttery sauce and a tangy plum(?) sauce. Yummy!
The meatballs I thought were just ok. They had a very herbaceous taste, with a lot of oregano. That was the dominant flavor of the dish. The meatballs are served with a chunky marinara sauce and under a coat of melted mozzarella.
The place is very modern, with a mix of normal tables/chairs, some low chairs, and small sofa/table combos. It is all hard surfaces, glass walls, corrugated steel ceiling, and concrete floors. It will be very noisy with a full house. You might want to bring your ear plugs.
