| - Really, really cool spot! I met a friend at Downtown Summerlin since she hadn't been there. We decided it was way too hot to hang out outside. The mall was completely dead and we quickly realized everyone was in this restaurant! It was happy hour time, but I had my 3-year-old with me so we couldn't order off of that menu since HH is only for the bar, obviously.
Buffalo cauliflower: yum! I normally hate mayo-based sauces, but this had so much blue cheese in it that I kept dunking.
Grilled watermelon & tomato salad (more like a stack): my favorite thing. Very refreshing and flavorful with some sort of white cheese (it looked in the shape of white chocolate shavings...tasted like feta sort of, but can't confirm because the shape of the cheese shards confused me but they were good). Plus balsamic and oil drizzle. Loved this!
Chicken & waffles: the waffle is chile cornbread! Very yummy. It said there was syrup on it, but I couldn't tell because the chicken was saucy and the cornbread was savory. It was good, but I felt it needed more sweet syrup to give it a true chicken & waffles experience.
We almost got the fish & chips, but decided against it because my kid wanted it and it was on the kids menu. We thought we could just try a bite of hers. When the kids' meal came out, it was a ridiculously large bowl of fries, with 3 small pieces of the best fried cod I have ever had. The texture of the coating was insane, and the inside fish was still perfectly cooked (I hate when it dries out and is over cooked). We took one of my daughter's pieces and my daughter ate the other two. She hardly ate any fries. Then, she wanted more fish. GREAT. It was $8 for her meal, and I had to order more fish for her...but this time I said no fries regardless that I had to pay $8 again because it was just a waste!
Other than being annoyed at spending $16 for my daughter to have enough fish & chips (our fault for taking one of her pieces), everything was great. Very filling, indulgent meal. Not expensive either.
Oh, and the service is great! At least our experience. Our server was a tad slow but it was busy in there so he had a bunch of tables I'm sure. But even the servers who weren't ours were super friendly! My daughter kept playing peek-a-boo with them since we were near the order-entry computer station, and every single one of the servers gave her attention and talked to her. Very cool, I was impressed.
