| - Third time back at Cowell & Hubbard. This time I came with 7 other friends and tried a ton more dishes than the other 2 times. Highlights: mussels appetizer, lamb breast entree, lingini with squid sauce, and meringes desserts are my favorites! Anyways, here goes the full review of my 3rd meal here:
Appetizers:
Bone Marrow (3): sad. third time trying bone marrow ever, and I wish Bruell didn't cut the bone in half. It made it easier to grab the marrow out, but i feel like it lost the authenticity of it. In addition, the bone marrow wasn't as salty or as flavorful as the one I had back in Paris. But, on a good note, glad to know a restauratn in cleveland has bone marrow and there was a ton of meat/fat in it! :D
Butternut Squash (4): got this a second time, and it had a lot more sauce than the first time we had it. also wasn't as delicious as we remembered, but still worth it!
Mussels (5): wow. the sauce that Chef Bruell adds in this mussels are just amazing!!!!
Entrees:
Roasted Whole Chicken (4.5): WHOA! so tender and it sure was an entire chicken! This dish was so filling and the sides were perfect. The side (portabello mushroom and potatoes) came in this mini crockpot and it was so cute. either way, the chicken was great! And still just as good after microwaving
Risotto with shrimp (5): YUM YUM YUM. If you like big shrimps and risotto, get this! The risotto had a ton of flavors and it was very very delicious right the right texture. The shrimps were soooooooo good and they were like JUMBO SHRIMP!
Giant Pork Shank (4): this pork shank wasn't as big as the first time I came here with a friend. Thoguth the first time, it was bigger. Regardless, the flavors were still there! WOOT WOOT!
Chicken Livers (3): tasted like mini fried chicken tenders. Flavors were great but the dish was a bit bland.. it needed more pairings or flavors.
