| - Came last night for a promotional event. The food was free and the drinks were $5.
To drink, I had the 376 standstill. The first one I got had a fly in it. After that they were fine.
To eat, there was a rotation of appetizers that were all delicious (mind you I did not try the bacon jam or pork belly sliders [vegetarian]). These included shrimp & grits, fries with blue cheese, biscuits with bacon jam, pork belly sliders, vegetable flatbread, pesto mozzarella grilled cheese, caprese flatbread, and mushroom flatbread.
Dessert was a choice of salted caramel cheesecake, chocolate hazelnut mousse, and something else I can't remember ~ each served in a small Mason jar. I got the salted caramel cheesecake, which tasted nothing like salted caramel. It was more like just cheesecake with a ton of caramel sauce and topped with whipped cream. It didn't excite me in the least and I didn't eat it past the first bite. I tried my friends choc hazelnut mousse and it was really good. Light, fluffy, and not too sweet.
What seemed odd to me is that the menu consists of 95% breakfast items, yet we were served nothing breakfast-like. Also, what we were served isn't even on the menu, so I'm not sure what the point of the tasting event was. The bartender even confirmed that the items we had aren't on the menu, and that they only serve the fries on Friday night but they don't tell anyone because they charge $10 for a small bowl of them. It's real weird.
One thing I absolutely loved is that it had no smell of bacon. For me, that was the best, but for others, they may prefer the bacon odor.
