| - I always love when a new place opens in my neighborhood and cannot wait to try it out.
I was a bit concerned about the cash only policy, only because I like to go into a place and order what I want and not worry if I will have enough money to pay for it at the end of the night. Also living so close and knowing I'll be walking, I don't exactly feel safe carrying a wad of cash in this neighborhood. So was very happy to find out that they DO ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS now!
I also wasn't thrilled about the fact of paying $16- $18 for a plate of mac and cheese. So I was really happy when we walked in on a Tuesday and found out it was 1/2 off mac and cheese night.
The decor is cozy and quaint. Service very attentive and friendly.
We ordered drinks (wine and beer), decent selection and served promptly. After we ordered our meals, we were served with bread and butter.The bread was served in a paper bag. It was so good; very warm and fresh and the crust had the perfect amount of crunch.
We started with a side salad ($3 on 1/2 off night). The salads were a very good portion. It had three types of mixed greens, croutons, red onion, shredded carrots, a grape tomato and a cucumber slice. I had mine with the house french dressing (predominate flavors: onion and garlic). It was creamy and tasted very good. My boyfriend ordered his salad with a house vinaigrette. He liked it, I thought it was okay, just oil and vinegar- nothing special.
Next came our meals. I ordered the South Beach Mac (sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, roasted garlic, caramelized fennel and feta cheese). It had good flavors, but thought it to be a little bland unless your bite included some of the feta or sun dried tomato. Think it could have used a little salt. My boyfriend ordered the Southwestern Mac (cheddar and pepper jack, chorizo, peppers, black beans and red pepper cheese sauce). His dish also was very good. Although he also felt it to be a little bland unless a bit of chorizo was in the bite. I didn't agree with him, I thought the red pepper cheese sauce gave it a mild kick. He was just looking for something spicier. But he did say it was very cheesy and the peppers were cooked to perfection.
We ended our night with a miniature Key Lime Pie Cheesecake. It was okay. It tasted just like Key Lime Pie, but I didn't really taste the cheesecake part. Since cheesecake is my favorite desert and I make really good cheesecake myself, I wasn't really all that impressed.
You do get a healthy portion of food here and we ended up taking a good amount of mac and cheese home. We both ate our left overs 2 days later and felt that the flavors had a chance to incorporate and tasted much better.
I still think $16-18 is a bit much for mac and cheese, but I will definitely be back to try the other dishes on half off night.
I recommend trying this place out!
