| - Another fun new restaurant we tried in Champaign! My daughter who lives there is moving to Spain so we are letting her choose whenever we go down for football games and she has been picking some winners.
This is a sleek, clean, modern space. There are beer vats as you enter which add a nice vibe of authenticity. We were seated right away at a very comfortable table for the four of us. We tried the deviled eggs app and some gingery egg rolls, we all split them and liked them. Both had a bit of a kick, the egg roll sauce had the most kick and I found this out after I had drizzled it all over mine but I still enjoyed it immensely, I just drank some extra water.
Everyone tried a cup of soup because hey, soup is good food. I gobbled up every bit of my beer cheese soup, so light and flavorful. I loved it! With my swordfish tacos I had an amazing iced tea, it was just a lovely flavorful tea with an orange slice. The swordfish tacos were divine but if you are a bit of a spice wimp (like me) you might want the guac on the side, that is where the heat was for sure! I ended up just eating the fish out of the taco, it was just too picante for me! I adored the rice, bean, corn side dish. Just delicious!
For dessert, we all split a sour cherry bread pudding and I really liked it. It came with ice cream and it was just smooth, sweet and a bit of tangy with that nice cold creamy spot of the ice cream. I am not a huge bread pudding fan but I think I could become one!
This was a very enjoyable meal. The team had played lousy, my daughter is moving, I needed a culinary hug and this was it! I would definitely come back but sadly it won't be with my youngest! Why don't you meet us so I won't miss her?
