| - I'm a little late to the party I think.
Went for the 1/2 price wine and cote de boeuf, the energetic atmosphere and because who hasn't done P&L besides my old dusty ass. When we arrived the place was thrumming for a Thursday. Busy and vibrant and loud. Not a place for an intimate tete et tete. I liked the glow and vibe a lot!
The service was steady and on hand for all the questions. Very helpful lady and patient as all get out and my idiosyncratic/fucking annoying questions.
We ordered the cauliflower - it was such a bore. I'd had such high hopes and dreams for this dish. Cauliflower roasted with a gravy and ricotta. It was void of any flavour beyond the beautiful delicate char on the florets. This was a huge let down. Like me according to my motha.
The wine list for the half price is limited but OK. Kinda basic for what they have on offer on the regular menu.
I do love the layout of the menu, I like that it is arranged by budget.
Anyway, I got drunk. Yay me and $42 wine!
Next up was the mac&cheese. The price is beyond affordable, like free practically which is what I would be paying to eat it again. It was bland incarnate. Like it's name is Toby, all his furniture is beige and he kisses with no tongue. Boring carbs are a tragedy.
The 50 Oz cote de boeuf - so ribsteak.
100% must do. It's delicious..takes 40 mins to prepare. It's marbled, it's fatty, it's tender, it's sweet, it's salty, it's handsome and suave.
The shortcake... vomit. No literally it was hard, dense and dumb. It was not a good texture to follow up the glorious beef. Or anything really. I think they accidentally served dry wall? The strawberry compound was insane however and once I finally discovered in lurking under some whipped topping it certainly improved the dish. But not enough to wish it upon someone I've just met and am mildly interested in forming a nod to each other relationship in passing.
There was two of us. We managed to eat about 12-14 Oz between us. I just had two days of the most glorious leftovers! :')
Now despite the underwhelming experience with the sharing plate, the side and dessert, I cannot wait to come back and try the hot chicken and the extensive and fascinating cocktail list with bespoke drinks, which the bartender and waitress hella delivered! It was exact to my dates pallette. EXACTLY what I had asked for! Ginger, sweet without lingering and earthy without smoke. LIKE THERE IS BLACK MAGIC HAPPENING HERE! Someone summon the Pope to exorcise this drink maker! It was too good to be human made. Just saying.
And maybe check out the dance hall beneath the dining ...
