| - So my wife and I stumbled upon this little restaurant while we were shopping in the Tatum area. We took a look at the menu, and saw the wide variety of food served with very reasonable prices, so what the heck let's give it a shot1
The decor is nice and cozy, they have alot of classic americana type portraits hanging on the wall. The restaurant space is kind of small, but it's a nice change from all the super sized restaurant chains. They had some nice music playing in the background, probably more jazzy than anything.
My wife ordered the Shrimp Scampi ($12), and I ordered the Jerk Chicken with sauteed potatoes and green beans ($11). When our dishes came, it was in a very presentable manner, had the look of a very expensive dish.
The Shrimps in my wife's pasta was amazingly fresh and large. The white sauce they used was a bit more liquid than the usual shrimp scampi, but that's probably due to their use of heavy cream. It was a nice touch to it I must say, the flavor of the sauce was not overpowering. It had a nice balance between the pasta and the seafood.
For my dish, there was a generous amount of jerk chicken, with the side of green bean and sauteed potatoes. I'm not a big fan of chicken breast, as I find the meat too tough, however, in this dish, it was delightfully moist and juicy! The jerk could've been a bit spicier, but it was a nice taste as it had a scrumptious tomato based sauce with the jerk spice and peppers. The green beans were fresh and crunchy, while the potatoes had the perfect crispy skin and moist inside.
I would definitely like to try their dinner in the future. Probably would love to try their Creme Brulee (apparently it has banana lined up at the bottom with chocolate!!!!)
It's a nice little treasure in the Cactus/Tatum area that should be explored!
