I've been meaning to try this restaurant since I've been a follower of Fidel Gastro's food truck and a fan of Chef Matt Basile's tv show 'Rebel Without a Kitchen'. I love his unpretentious and unique way of cooking.
So what better time to check out this restaurant than Summerlicious. We started with Alabama Tailgaters and Tuna Ceviche Nachos for our appetizers, both we enjoyed. The bacon wrapped beef tenderloin is so moist and flavourful and the marinated tuna served over the nachos tasted so different from the other nachos I've eaten.
When the Mains arrived this is where it went downhill. The House Smoked Ribs is so fatty and sweet that I can't even force myself to eat them. I think this is the worst ribs I've ever eaten! My partner ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken and there's nothing spicy about it. In fact the chicken is so dry and tough that you feel like you're eating a hard rock.
Don't even get me started on the dessert! We ordered the French toast and Summer Fruit Crumble and both came in a small jar. We tried them and both tasted awful!
Overall this is one disappointing experience especially if your expectations are high! We were still hungry after leaving the restaurant.
We're just glad that we tried the prix fixe menu and not their regular menu. I know one thing is for sure, we will never ever set foot in this restaurant again!
