| - Where do I begin. Having to enjoy trying new places, I decided to take my friend to The H.H. We entered, seated ourselves ... (not that we we instructed to do otherwise) and realized o.k. we order off the blackboard menu above the cash area.
We decide on the surf n' turf, which is I believe 2 thin sliced... and I do mean THIN sliced pieces of steak with 2 grilled shrimp in it, pesto with some mesclun greens on a chewy type ciabatta-like bun. (bun ratio to filling...too much bread). Also could 've worked better if the bun was toasted, because the greens simply caused the extra sogginess within the sandwich. The hot sauce didn't work for me, just tasted the heat & not much of other flavours.
As a side, it came with fresh cut fries, nice thickness, BUT soaked in oil (note what I have always said about getting the fries right in my previous reviews), a few pieces were uncooked in the centre...complain? why bother, when they were having enough trouble controlling the large cloud of smoke coming from the kitchen, which also meant we weren't getting our shrimp corn dogs that they said would be ready in a 1/2 hour, (which we waited for), apparently the hood vent went down. Everyone had to get a refund on this. The owner?/chef was very apologetic though.
The second item we tried was the Cali Baja, they were done nicely, light & crispy nugget- like fish pieces in a tortilla. Enough said about t he food.
Just a few tips to the owner/s...four men working the kitchen back there, NOT one with a hairnet or a hat, and when my server happens to have blue hair AND blue nail polish with the large earplug, the staff should really consider taking that food handlers course.
Thank-You.
Secondly, why is it that restaurants always tend to run out of their "best sellers"?, i.e the shrimp corn bread. "HELLO"!, it's gonna be your money maker, possibly your most memorable dish, the talk about the town... get it out there!... keep patrons happy, make money ...
Will I ever return to try those shrimp corn dogs? ...maybe when I end up in the neighbourhood on an errand run.
Good Luck to them though, I hope they are able to sort out those so-called "kinks".
