Been meaning to check out the restaurant for sometime so we opted to dining in at lunch. The overview of this restaurant is that Inspire is a solid place to dine, but in my opinion just wasn't that memorable.
Food: We opted to try 2 staple items, the first being the Inspire Burger (paid extra to upgrade to the duck confit fries) and the second being their chicken and waffles.
The Inspire Burger was definitely more of the highlight of my dining experience. The burger itself is juicy and the added egg to the burger was in and of itself a component that I enjoyed. The duck confit fries was on the other hand was a regrettable choice. I found that the duck confit lacked taste for one and was definitely on the dry side, slightly overcooked might I say all in all wasn't a fan.
Chicken & Waffles was okay. Felt as though the balance of savory and sweet wasn't there and it just felt overly sweet to the palate. Other then the imbalance, I didn't hate the dish itself, rather it could have been better.
Service: Attentive and friendly nothing that really wowed me but got the job done. Also it was a quiet afternoon and we were just chilling for lunch so my expectations is at a minimal anyways. So to sum it up, service was great.
Ambiance: I do really like the setup of the restaurant, feels nice and cozy. The intimate feel of dining area is perfect for small get together.
In summary, I would recommend Inspire to people, its good restaurant that has lot of good things that work. However its just not my cup of tea, but I'm not opposed to never come back (maybe to try some cocktails and their Udon Carbonara).
