Good Food on Montford... More like Awesome Food! The BF chose this spot for our date night. We arrived around 6:15 on a Saturday. We were informed the wait would be about 20 minutes. The host took our phone number and said that he would call us when a table was available. I prefer this to one of those buzzers that requires you stick around the place. It was a nice night and the wait wasn't bad so we sat down outside. He gave us a buzz and we walked inside. He informed us that there was seating at the Chef's table if we would like or we could wait for a table. I was starving at this point, so the Chef's table it was! We were taken to a roomy bar that overlooked the dessert/cold plate section of the kitchen. It's an awesome spot to chat with the chefs. Our server was attentive and the food rolled out at a good pace.
As for the food...
The bread was nothing to write home about but I loved the roasted garlic that came with it.
Pork Bun: The pork bun was phenomenal. Not a traditional steam bun set up but more like a little sandwich. The bun itself was made in house and a nice soft texture. The pork belly was perfectly tender and delectable. The sweetness of the hoisin sauce added a nice balance to the dish.
Scallops: The scallops were perfectly seasoned and seared. Two decent sized scallops sat atop a bed of Israeli couscous. The dish was very good but not life changing.
Quail Lettuce Wraps: Our favorite dish of the night! The quail was succulent. Just rich enough and the flavors were well developed. This was a nice light plate. So, so good.
Chocolate Brownie w/ Biscoff Ice Cream: Stellar... I mean it's a brownie but it was a damn good brownie. Warmed up and served on a plate with peanut butter, a scoop of homemade biscoff ice cream and a dollop of fresh whip cream. Amazing. Such a great way to end the meal.
I'm already looking forward to our next visit!
