| - Morgan's: what a gem of the Greenwood area!
Morgan's was the first stop of my Summerlicious Dinners for 2013. I wanted to try somewhere outside of the downtown core, and stumbled across Morgan's when searching for some restaurants along the Danforth. I hadn't heard a thing about Morgan's previously, but the menu looked stellar so I decided to give this place a try, and wow, was I ever glad that I did!
Morgan's has the look of a typical pub from the outside with a small patio out front. Once you walk in, it still seems Pub-like, but a bit more like a classy pub (is that an oxymoron =P?) There is bar area seating with a large television, as well as booths, tables, and some high tables/booths.
Service was okay. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, but pretty absent, especially as the night went on. I'm guessing that a lot of that had to do with the large volume that Summerlicious brings in, though.
The food menu is interesting: I wouldn't say that Morgan's abides to a certain cuisine. The 'licious menu consisted of things like: Fried Chicken, Pork Cheek Tostadas, Fish Cakes, Tomato Bisque, even Smores!
Here's what I opted for: Caesar Salad: Served with an anchovy on top - just like it's meant to be! Yum! Not over or under dressed, and a good portion size. My party absolutely RAVED about the other two options (Tomato Bisque and Fish Cakes.)
Fried Chicken with sautéed red chard, bacon, and cheddar corn bread. Served with a Honey Sriracha Dipping Sauce. HOLY. MOLY. That Honey Sriracha stuff is INCREDIBLE. The combo sounds weird, but the sweet and spicy combo is fantastic. If they sold bottles of this stuff I'd buy it regularly. The fried chicken was nice and moist, as was the cheddar corn bread. Great flavours all around and a fantastic dish.
For dessert I had the Burnt Sugar Bundino with Fleur de Sel and dark chocolate dipped Sponge toffee. The Bundino was good, but a bit plain. I was expecting more of the sponge toffee as a part of the dish, but it was more of a garnish. Regardless, it was good!
However, I wish I had ordered the Smore. I sampled a friends and it was fantastic. Cinnamon graham crust with chocolate GLB Harry Porter ganache topped with homemade marshmallow fluff. It was decadent and delicious. The ganache was fantastic, and the marshmallow fluff was lightly roasted. It reminded me more of a ganachey brownie rather than a smore, but whatever it was, it rocked!
Greenwood is not an area I'm in too often, but I'm so happy I stumbled upon Morgan's for Summerlicious, as this is a place I likely would not have come across otherwise. I look forward to checking Morgan's out outside of Summerlicious!
