| - Coming from the States, I find it a bit ironic that I'd seek out a place serving American comfort food instead of eating French food, but this was recommended by a local and the dishes sounded delicious. Walking into the place, it reminded me of a futuristic diner, or like a Virgin America plane turned into a diner with pink lighting.
I'd recommend coming with more than 2 people so that you can share a bunch of the appetizers - 4-6 people would probably be ideal. Between my coworker and I, we ordered 5 different appetizers / starters so we could try a little bit of everything. The portions here are generous - American sized, if you will.
Best / Favorite Dishes:
Bacon Wrapped Dog Sliders - Normally, something you'd buy on the street at 2 am after drinking, these are made fancier by turning them into sliders and putting them into toasted brioche buttered buns. They are delicious - I ate 2 out of the 3 of them and wanted more.
Southern Fried Buttermilk Chicken Crispers - As if a belgian waffle and deep fried chicken weren't sinful enough, this is smothered with a maple syrup butter gravy that is both sweet and savory. Perfectly crispy and flavorful, this is some of the best fried chicken & waffles I've had.
Beignets - These were also very delicious, but too much for 2 people to share - there were probably 8 or 9 of them. They were fresh and hot, and not overly fluffy like a donut hole, but not terribly dense either. Just right, dusted with powdered sugar and served with a chocolate mousse and honey dipping sauce. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Just Ok:
Fried Pickles - Good, but too much for 2 people. They were not necessarily mind-blowing, but not bad either.
Ahi Tuna Tacos - I wanted to like these more, but the size of them were a little too big and hard to eat. The pieces of tuna were decently sized, and good, but there was too much of the won-ton shell and coleslaw that you weren't really able to get everything proportionally in one bite.
Pass:
Mini Lobster Rolls - I normally love lobster rolls, but this had too much mayo, and not enough big chunks of lobster dipped in butter.
All in all, very inventive dishes. Definitely not a place to go to if you're on a diet. Don't come here and order a salad - go big or go home, and pick a bunch of not-so-good-for -appetizers to share with a large group of friends. You will feel stuffed when you leave, and you may have eaten half a stick of butter and lots of deep fried food, but it will satisfy your "comfort food" tooth for a while. I'd come back here again.
