Had dinner tonight for my mom's birthday and it was delicious. The meal started with complimentary tater tots with a malt vinegar aioli. They were crisp with creamy centers. These are not Ore Ida! The malt vinegar aioli was to die for. I would love that for fish.
We followed that with the goat cheese and leek tart. Yummy. It was served with sweet onion jam. I could have eaten a trough of that and the tart was tangy and rich. Really wonderful.
Next came the complimentary cornbread with maple bourbon butter. I am not a fan of cornbread but this is by far the best cornbread I have ever had and the butter was great.
I had the hanger steak. The salsa verde was really nice and meat was cooked to perfection. I ordered medium rare and it came out with a great char and a red center. Perfect and delish. It came with green beans dressed with a tomato vinaigrette. They were a bit crisp. I am a fan of tender crisp veggies, but these could have been a tad more tender. The dressing was really good. The fingerling potatoes were okay, but nothing special. Could have used a bit more seasoning.
My mother had the Ham Shank with a root beer glaze. OMG! I highly recommend this dish. The glaze is sooo good and the ham falls off the bone. It's a big portion and she took half home.
My sister had the short ribs with potato puree. I didn't taste hers, but she said they were very good and she loved the potato puree.
The atmosphere is really warm and inviting. We had terrific service. Thanks Robin!
