| - 3.5/5!
*This review is only for Summerlicious dinner - $35.
*Imo lunch menu is better since they have the legendary pancake. That pancake itself worth $16 and Summerlicious lunch is only $23!
*the service is impeccable. My server was really friendly, casual yet professional. The restaurant feels elegant but not stuffy nor pretentious.
-House Cured Trout:
The cured trout was really tasty, I liked how the saltiness of the lump fish roe and sweetness of the melon really complimented one another. The soft whipped cream cheese, refreshing cucumber and slightly bitter (and aromatic) dill really enhanced the flavor of the cured trout when eaten in one bite!
-Soup of Sweet Corn:
The sweet corn soup is a little bit thin for my liking, as I'm used to the Asian style of a thick and silky soup texture. With that said, because of the thin texture, the soup wasn't too filling and perfect as an appetizer! The flavors of the soup was amazing. It was not too sweet as the lime balanced out the sweetness of the corn and coconut milk, and the chili lent a subtile hint of spice.
-Coffee Smoked Baby Back Ribs:
It wasn't my favourite. Normally I don't like coffee in the marinade as it accentuates the bitter and smoky flavors of the rib. However I'm glad the coffee wasn't too strong so I was still able to enjoy the meat itself and other ingredients.
I never fully appreciated grits, until I tasted the aged cheddar grits at Mildred's Temple Kitchen, which was the most incredible grits I have ever had. It was seasoned perfectly, cheesy and just a little gritty - it's a very strange texture, different from mashed potatoes lol
-Pan Seared Lake Erie Silver Bass:
it was the highlight of the night. The skin was perfectly crisp, and the meat of the fish was delicate and moist. I loved the accompanying stew which consisted of tomatoes chunks, potatoes and chickpeas. You know how don't like kale, but here the chef sautéed with the chorizo, which helped to mask that bitterness with a spicy kick.
-'Strawberry Shortcake':
Instead of the normal biscuits, Mildred serves the strawberry shortcakes with the earl grey tea cake. It was good but not great either. I think it would have been better if the earl grey tea flavor was stronger in the cake, but I love anything with earl grey so maybe that's just me.
-'Sugar Plum':
Again the Sugar Plum dessert was okay and for me it was a nice way to end the meal after having the heavy main course. The honey mascarpone brought down the tartness of the black plums and toasted oatmeal added some textures to the dessert.
