| - We went to Searsucker with a couple of friends of ours and were really impressed by the decor and with Les, the GM. He was extremely nice and was definitely a service-minded host.
We tried and compared a bunch of different dishes, so I'll provide a little overview. Overall, the food was excellent. I definitely have a taste for some things over others, but everything was quality in its presentation.
Cheddar puffers = Mind-blowingly good.
"Cowboy caviar" = I don't care what you think. I was also blown away by these. They taste like dark-meat chicken. Buttery rich.
Marrow bone = A lot better than I expected. Would have no issue eating this again.
Mussels = Very good, and I say that not being a seafood guy.
Beef tartare = First time ever trying this. The meat was delicious. The accessories (quail egg, taro chips, etc.) didn't do a lot for me.
Hanger "butcher's steak" = I ordered this for myself and after sampling the dishes of everyone else in our group, we all thought mine was the best. Excellent steak all around.
Mahi = Not enough flavor, in my opinion. It tasted like your typical sea fish.
Salmon = Far from the best salmon I've had. Didn't quite seem tender or flavored enough.
Duck = Not sure what I was supposed to expect, but it was pretty rubbery.
Fried brussels & walnuts = solid. Nothing extraordinary.
Cauliflower = absolutely delicious. Would definitely get this again next time.
Doughnuts & chocolate = very tasty. Probably would order differently next time, since I'm not big on dark chocolate sauce, but still good.
