This is a long over due review.
We went to Haberdish with a large group of 10 people (this is to be avoided in the future as the restaurant isn't really able to accommodate this large of a party -- reserve for date night or dinner with one other couple). Although we called ahead, used no wait app -- we still waited 40 minutes.
The wait really wasn't a huge deal to me. We posted up by the bar, perused the cocktail list and got busy sipping! I ordered 'The Local Melon' - Doc Porter's vodka watermelon and lime juice, sweet basil bitters, cracked black pepper and a salted rim. It was divine! I made the mistake of adding it without the flowered ice cube. The second one I ordered I got the flowered ice cube. Note: do not forget to ask for the ice cube. While their drinks can stand on their own as far as looks and taste go... they become instantly Instagram enviable when you get the gorgeous ice cube!!
Once we were seated, we ordered biscuits and bacon jam for the table. The biscuits were good - not great. I love a really fresh and fluffy biscuit. These were a little denser and drier. The bacon jam though -- I'm currently licking my lips thinking about it -- yes, it was that good! I ordered the roasted chicken and sweet potato dumplings. My goodness! Those little dumplings were delicious! Tender and sweet. I highly recommend them. The roast chicken was actually very tender and juicy. I really liked it. I know most people come for the fried chicken (which my husband ordered and it was great) but be open to the roasted chicken if you feel you need something lighter - you will not be disappointed.
The ambience is cool. Lots of grey shiplap interior. With sort of an old timey feel. Very clean. There is a cool exterior area that I would love to be seated in next time I'm there.
Overall-I was really pleased with our experience and I look forward to our return.
