| - One night after a Spring Training game, I felt adventurous and wanted to try something new. This was when I discovered Cornish Pasty Co. I actually had no idea what a cornish pasty was and had to wikipedia it. Basically it is an English pastry where you place uncooked filling into a pastry crust and bake it. That's simple enough.
Upon driving up to Cornish Pasty Co. at night, I noticed that the parking lot was fairly small and not well lit. While walking up to the actual place, I loved the layout of the place. There were dining tables on the inside and outside of the restaurant. There was also a bar on the inside as well as the outside. This is a pretty genius idea since Arizona temperature is crazy hot. The bf and I sat on stools at the bar that was outside. We experienced great weather that night. There were also customers who sat in the outside bar area and brought their dogs along with them while dining. These were not service dogs and they were allowed. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs, but if you can't discipline your dog/dogs, please don't bring them. The whole time we were trying to enjoy our dinner, these two dogs were just barking and jumping up and down the whole time. Even the owners couldn't calm and control their dogs. It was actually kind of annoying. I didn't realize I was at a dog park.
At the bar, we were immediately greeted by the bartender and he handed us the food menu as well. I already knew before we got there that I wanted to try a pasty. However, when I was browsing the menu, holy crap! There were about 25 different pasties to choose from! When they call it the Cornish Pasty Co., they were not kidding. On top of that, there were also soups, salads, and appetizers that you could order. I asked the bartender what their best seller was, but he was of no real help. He basically said that all of the pasties are great. After looking over the menu a gazillion times, I finally decided to go with The Oggie (The Traditional Pasty) which has a steak, potatoes, onion, and rutabaga filling along with a red wine gravy or ketchup on the side for only $8.75. The bf ordered the Tandoori Wings appetizer ($6.50) which is basically chicken wings baked in tandoori marinade along with a side of lemon mint yogurt dip. Tandoori wings at a restaurant that mainly serves English food? Hmmm...
The food came out at a decent time. We didn't have to wait too long. The Tandoori Wings came out first since it is an appetizer. I was actually blown away by how good the wings were! Wow! The four pieces of wings were not enough. The dish also came with some cucumber slices as well as tomatoes. It was really hard not to devour all of the wings. I had to remind myself that this was my bf's order and not mine so instead, I started eating the cucumbers and tomatoes for him. When my pasty came, it was very hot and hearty. I actually thought the pasty was okay. It wasn't anything super amazing and it wasn't bad either. The Oggie kind of reminded me of a puff pastry being filled with beef stew and being baked. I think I enjoyed the crust of the pastry more than I did the filling.
Overall, the service and food was good and the prices even better! I recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! Just watch out for Cujo.
