| - This is one of those places that totally catches you by surprise...a very good, bacon surprise! My husband and I drove down from Vegas for a baseball game. We were starving afterwards and I yelped this place. I'm so glad we did because it was one of the best places we've ever eaten at ever.
A lot of credit goes to out server, Gib, who was just as excited about the menu as us. Hubby was craving a good sandwich and Gib recommended the BLT. Hands down, BEST BLT ever thanks to pork belly bacon!!! It was thick cut, tender, and crispy. It elevated the BLT to a much higher culinary level. I opted for the chopped salad which has been reviewed in top mags and culinary shows. With it's mix of greens, tomatoes, sweet corn, pumpkin seeds, currants, and this amazing buttermilk, herby dressing I almost ordered a second one! We had the gorgonzola Mac and cheese to share and it was perfect for 2 people. It was super creamy, delicious, and decadent.
For dessert, Gib recommended the pork belly bread pudding. Holy bacon!!! It was the perfect combo of salty and sweet with a scoop of vanilla on the top. I had the cream cheese donuts with 3 different dipping sauces: strawberry compote, key lime pie, and caramel. So delicious!!
We were incredibly surprised by this place. Not only is the ambiance beautiful but Gib definitely made the experience better. The food was some of the best we've ever had. In fact we haven't stopped talking about it since we left and I've never yelped a review faster!! The food reminds us of how delicious food is in the Bay area where we're home. We would easily drive down from Vegas any weekend just to eat here. 5 stars!!!!
