| - What a difference a month makes....
I was here last in early December and it remained my favorite place in the Kamm's / River area, as it had been for a long time.
That all changed today. I came in for a beer and to order carryout. I was blind sided by the horrible decor remodel. It just a bit ago friendly, warm and inviting. Came in today to find a sterile coldly lit off putting shell.
It took a full 12 minutes for anyone to approach me, though I sat right at the bar. The beer I finally got was fine.
I ordered the braised pork belly, a grilled cheese with bacon, and the rosemary fries.
The pork belly was no longer pork belly. This was 2 tiny chunks of cheap pork roast. The "bacon Brussels sprouts" did not have any bacon in it, and the sprouts tasted like they were boiled in dish water. The fried shallots were obviously Durkee fried onions.
The bacon grilled cheese also had zero bacon, and for some reason they added a charred dry sinewy chicken breast.
The rosemary fries were still good.
This is so heartbreaking. I used too love this place so much. Was amazing, especially considering it's strip mall location, they'd managed a warm, friendly, inviting place you never wanted too leave. Now it's a soulless sad, quality vacuum, where I'll not return till I see an "new management" sign.
