We've been hearing about Beckett's for a while now and finally made it out to give it a try. So glad we did, it was really great. The restaurant is really beautiful inside. I love open spaces and open kitchens, and the bar, wood beams, and small touches like the sliding bathroom doors really make me happy. They even have a large community table that seats 16 which I really think fosters a great atmosphere of communal dining. There is nothing better than walking into a restaurant for the first time and just knowing you're going to love the food because the ambiance is so good. That is how you feel when you walk in here.
We started with a bottle of wine and the sausage meatballs. OMG they were amazing. Probably one of my favorite appetizers anywhere. I am literally thinking of just ordering 3 for dinner next time I'm there. My wife and I shared the chicken and dumplings and a side of mac and cheese for dinner. Great flavor, dumplings were perfect, I would have liked to see a little more chicken in the entree though. Mac and cheese was yummy, could have been a little warmer imo.
For dessert, we shared the smores which everyone raves about. We both agreed, the whipped peanut butter was to die for, the graham crackers were good, the marshmallows were amazing....but we just didn't like the chocolate covered bacon. I LOVE chocolate. And I LOVE bacon. In and on everything. But the combination just didn't do it for us. Once the chocolate taste wore off the bacon just didn't taste good.
Oh well, we'll have to have the Death By Chocolate next time :)
