| - Much of the food at SMG is finger food, which I appreciated given patrons eat in the dark. If you're in the mood to share, the Feature Four sampler platter is the way to go-you get two chicken quesadilla wedges, four hunks of Tuscan bread, a few buffalo wings, and chips and salsa. The Spicy Buffalo Drummettes were surprisingly good, with crisp skin, juicy meat, and medium heat. It was nice eating the wings in the dark-for once, I didn't have to worry about having sauce all over my face. The Tuscan Bread was my personal favorite--the garlic butter made the hand-pulled bread a bit greasy, but the gooey cheese and marinara dipping sauce made it impossible to resist.
The chicken quesadillas were standard fare, and I loved the fire-roasted flavor of the homemade salsa. The sausage pizza was not impressive. It had a peculiar sweet sauce that conflicted with the flavor of the sausage, and the whole pie was dripping with grease. Next time I'll opt for the BBQ chicken pizza or the thin crust Sun Dried Tomato & Arugula Pizza, both of which I've heard positive things about. I tried the Megaplex Burger, and while the meat itself had a nice chargrilled taste, the overall flavor of the burger was boring. I'd recommend the Steak Sandwich instead - it has shaved beef, mozzarella, sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms on top of sourdough bread. The sandwiches come with fries (very good!), sweet potato fries, or tortilla chips, or you can sub in salad or fruit for an additional charge.
Of all the food I've tried at SMG, my favorites are the desserts. The Rocky Road Cookies and Ice Cream is a show stopper (no pun intended). It comes with three warm cookies and a dollop of Ben & Jerry's Nougat ice cream. In a close second are the Macadamia Cookies and Ice Cream, served warm with a scoop of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Warm cookies topped with cold ice cream is a hard combination to beat!
I posted a full review on the blog, but these are the highlights.
