  • I was so excited to see a new restaurant at the front of Regent Park after Eat Well closed so quickly, and I have not been disappointed on the three visits I have made here! Amy Fortes' (Chef and Owner, along with Jon Fortes) last gig, I'm told, was Upstream, so we are so happy for that calibre of chef to be in our little neck of the woods. She is amazing and so hospitable! Each visit she has been on the floor making sure all her customers are doing well. The service has always been efficient, but warmly friendly for us. Amy specializes in local fare, and the current vendors are listed on the board over the coffee bar. The following farmers were listed when we visited: Tega Hills Farm, Barbee Farms in Concord, as well as Counter Culture Coffee in Durham, NC among several others. The menu is limited but covers a range of tastes and is highly creative. Servings are not large, but I found they were more than adequate, and my taste buds were totally satisfied. I went twice for dinner. I had the Flipside Melt, their signature hamburger: wonderful Brioche bun; fabulous Pimento Cheese with T.O.P. jam and perfectly crispy Potato Wedges. My BF had Amy's Shepard Pie, made with Braised Shortribs, which she loved. We also split the Flipside Bibb, a salad made with Peppadews (slightly sweet & spicy), Blue Cheese, Buffalo Bacon and a tasty Vinaigrette. Next time I had the Roasted Salmon with Asparagus Noodles, Grits (not a big fan but loved these because they were flavored with) Bacon Jam and Smoked Tomato Cream. Salmon was perfectly cooked and I loved the combination of sauce flavors, which seems to be something Amy excels at. My husband had the Iron Skillet Roasted NY Strip served with Potato Purée, Wilted Kale and Charred Onion Butter. Once again, cooked perfectly and so flavorful. When I went for Brunch, I and my BFF had the Lobster Quiche with Bacon, Asparagus, Smoked Cheddar and Fruit. The filling was very flavorful, although the crust itself was dry. (Someone else I know had a muffin and was unimpressed so baking may not be their forte.) My husband had a Benne! Benne! their version of Eggs Benedict which was melt in your mouth wonderful! Here's hoping they get enough business at this location to stay longer than Eat Well, who was also pretty good. They are really already cramped, especially on Sundays (not a good time to go!).
