| - My friend and I went to Menu6 last Saturday for the first time, during the Porchfest. We picked this restaurant because I found out that they have happy hour on Saturday too (4:30 - 6:30).
We got there about 4:45 and we were the only customers there. The decor inside was very chic, a pretty trendy look. We opted to sit at their patio, so we could watch people going to the Porchfest.
Their happy hour menu consists on a few selected drinks for $6, appetizers for $6, and 3-course meal (pick one from selected appetizers, one from selected entrees, and one from selected desserts) for, I believe $26.
We wanted to get a couple of beers and appetizers to share between us, so we asked our server guy for his recommendations, and he recommended to get some shrimp appetizer, sweet and spicy calamari, and beef ribs with mango BBQ sauce for appetizers and we got all three.
Shrimp appetizer came with 3 large shrimps, cooked in something similar to tempura batter and served with the peanut sauce. The batter was a little bit too thick for my liking, but the flavor of the sauce was okay.
I like the calamari appetizer the best out of 3. It was cooked in a sweet and spicy sauce. The sauce had some diced red and yellow peppers and had a good amount of a kick to it.
Their beef ribs were cooked until the meat fell off the bones. I didn't really tasted mango in the BBQ sauce, though.
All three appetizers were okay since they were at the happy hour pricing. I don't think I want to pay more than that.
I got beer from tap that our server recommended. I'm looking at the receipt and it says "Chimay". It was okay, but for $8 happy hour price, it seemed the glass was small... I guess I'm used to those 22oz tall boy glass at those less-fancy joints...
Our server was a little bit on the slow side, giving the fact that the entire time we were there, there were only 2 more tables occupied.
A guy, I think it was a chef, came to each table and asked us how everything was. I thought that was nice.
Am I going to go back? Probably not... It was just too fancy for me.
