| - The girls and I came here on a Thursday night to celebrate my birthday. None of us had been before and it was something we really wanted to try. I'm definitely glad that we did!
Walking in, Crop Kitchen had a really cool vibe-there were floor to ceiling windows, chalkboards with daily specials, and big, wooden tables. It was pretty full for a Thursday and was, consequently, loud but that just meant people were enjoying themselves!
The waitress was very attentive, and we all had water poured before we even had a chance to settle in. I ordered a "blood and roses" drink which sounded very creative on the menu and I knew I had to try it. I loved the muddled fruits and how the blood orange worked with the bourbon. One of the girls at the table who also ordered one didn't like it as much because she thought it was too sweet, but I thought it was really nicely balanced.
For my meal, I got the meatloaf sandwich... I was scared that I made a mistake on the first bite since it was just a crazy amount of Korean BBQ sauce, but that was not how the rest of the he sandwich was... Once the siracha mayo flavor came out, I was super happy. I think I could have just bought a bottle of that and been happy! I also LOVED the dressing on the little salad that was on the plate; I only wish there was more of the greens!
The waitress brought out dessert for my bday, and it was the perfect end to dinner. The creme brûlée bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and toffee drizzle (my mouth is watering just typing that!) was just sweet enough without being overpowering! There were a ton of other desserts that sounded scrumptious as well so I'd really like to explore that menu.
Welcome to university circle, Crop Kitchen! We're glad you're here
