| - Ack! Yelp! You deleted my whole review when I logged in!
Anyway, to start this is in the boonies - Sun Lakes - but it was worth the drive.
To start - we ordered the avocado BLT deviled eggs with arugula, scallions, cherry tomato, bacon lardons. The yolks were mixed with avocados which is a nice substitute or addition to the normal mayo for deviled eggs. We also ordered the zucchini cakes with crab, pickled onion, asparagus, Champagne hollandaise. The zucchini was crispy and soft at the same time, lots of flavor and awesome with the crab and the hollandaise. Definitely worth it. 6 eggs came with the order and two large zucchini cakes - so plenty for all.
For dinner, I had the pan-seared airline chicken breast with bacon & rosemary grits, heirloom cauliflower, rapini, mushroom brandy sauce. I really liked the flavor of the grits with the combination of the mushroom brandy sauce. Very different and savory.
My friends ordered the double-cut, bone-in, pork "ham" chop with apple sauce, sausage & cheddar potato "casserole". Holy cow (or pig!) This this is huge. I would definitely say that it's good to split for 2. All of my friends loved this - as they said it was a good combination of the pork chop and "ham". But it is indeed huge.
Worth the trip out to the middle of grey-hairville for sure. They also have a large wine selection, so would be good just to meet friends out for a wine happy hour.
I would say there was a definite gap in service as we finished the appetizers before we even ordered our main entrees and drinks were empty - but the server was friendly which kind of made up for it. Other than that, it was a good experience.
