Ohhhh those frozen Cosmo's! They pack a punch and by punch I mean you could really drink a couple and be faced down somewhere you don't remember being! SO GOOD! I was safe and stuck with one and a half (the half being my friends unfinished slightly melted one.) But I digress!
I am SO excited that this place is "back." It was formerly known as the Shiloh Inn and was closed for a couple months and taken over by the owners of the Harris Grill. It saddened me when the Shiloh Inn closed down because although I love me some Redbeards, this was the only place to have a nice sit down dinner on this side of the mount.
Before, it kinda felt like a creepy old mansion rather than a hip restaurant. They've transformed it into a quaint and cozy little place! There was a warm !fireplace and it just felt very inviting inside, rather than the creepy before! I can't wait until they open up the deck outside because it's huge and a great place to sit and people watch in the summer!
I was REALLY trying to be good and get a salad (even though it had french fries and a bucket o' ranch on it) but I thought I would be doing myself a disservice, being that it was my "first time" there. I caved and found the most delish sounding eggplant noodleless lasagna. Since I am a proud Italian, I HAVE to have my Italian dishes a certain way. That means lots of sauce and LOTS of cheese! This came out perfectly! I only wish I could make eggplant this well at home (hence going elsewhere to get it!) It was many many thin layers of breaded eggplant with lots of sauce and spinach in between. The spinach factor, in my mind, evened out the mounds of mozzarella cheese loaded on top. The dish was huge and I'm not ashamed to say I...ATE IT ALL!
I'm so glad this place is here in my neighborhood! I hope that it's successful enough to stay around for a long time! I know I'll be back, especially in the summer when I can sit on the porch with a dozen frozen cosmo's surrounding me!
