| - Gf and I opted for H&H for my Father's day meal, at least I thought it was "my" meal. after looking at the Yelp pics and the menu, it suddenly became the gf meal - she ordered virtually everything with little to no input from me.
She started with:
Sierra Nevada Summerfest ( $6) hers
Great Basin Icky IPA ( $6) mine
both very refreshing
Short Rib Nachos ( $9.50 )
Crispy Polenta bites ( $7.50)
Blue Cheese Souffle ( $12)
grilled Cheese bites ( $9??)
The nachos fell short - we digged the ingredients - potato chips, cheddar cheese, short rib with horseradish sour cream. The problem - some of the chips were stale, the cheese with the short ribs created a consistency of beef stroganoff - not a bad taste but not what I wanted. and the serving size - seriously ?!
The polenta bites - loved the green goddess dip ( fresh tarragon taste ) but the bites were too dang small ! Why not put blue cheese inside them - seems like you put blue cheese on most the items on the menu ( and yes, I love blue cheese )
Blue cheese soufflé - I liked my mini soufflé, the gf felt the need for a greater blue cheese taste. we'll agree to disagree.
Grilled cheese bites is basically a grilled cheese sammie cut into squares - we both loved the flavor.
Little did I know she was just warming up.
Heirloom tomato salad ( $7.50 )
Crispy chicken sliders ( $9.50 )
H&H Burger ($15)
Big Dog, Dirty Dog IPA ( $7 ) for me
Salad - excellent flavor but literally four bites.
Crispy Chicken sliders - nice crunch, decent flavor, the buttermilk ranch had ... blue cheese ! ok by me.
H&H Burger - had them split in 1/2. Great flavor ! but where's the ... CHEESE ?!? The fries were wimpy,limpy - why ?
and if that wasn't enough
Mac n cheese ( $7)
Butterscotch pudding with crème fraiche and snickerdoodle cookies
the mac n cheese - can we put this in the oven to get a crusty top and given the cheese to blend in with the macaroni ? I guess not
The pudding - gf choice - I don't like butterscotch - though I did try a bite, not bad; she loved it.. We both loved the cookies.
I left the place with a similar feeling I had at Nosh & swig. I like the concept, I like what I read on the menu ( sans price ) but the dishes were inconsistent and generally speaking, improper execution.
I will definitely consider another visit during happy hour, otherwise, been there, done that.
