Epic dining experience.
Ambiance, staff, food- all…read moreperfectly on point.
From the Edison bulbs in the window to the gorgeous tile under the bar, I knew from stepping into this warm curated space that my eyes, at the very least, were in for a feast.
We came without a reservation on a very busy night (I'm guessing this is the go-to spot in town for great food) and waited at the bar for a few moments before being seated. Chatting with the young bartender was a fun prelude to a great experience with our waiter - who was quick to help us navigate a menu where EVERYTHING sounded amazing.
Starters were a warm goat cheese appetizer (honey! Walnuts! Crispy bacon and oven roasted tomato!) and bacon-wrapped shrimp skewers. Salads for mains (the Mediterranean with juicy bits of pineapple, an unexpected flavor pairing and really nice, and the Grilled Shrimp Salad, in which the shrimp were perfectly smokey and juicy.)
Yes, we like bacon. And shrimp.
All of The Meats sounded amazing, but we caught sight of dessert served to a nearby table, and knew we needed to save room (a real need, a genuine priority, if you will.)
The chocolate soufflé was quite close to a lava cake, and presentation was so completely artful that I would totally have snapped a pic if my spoon hadn't somehow been scraping the plate before I properly registered what was happening.
We would go back tomorrow for another round but they are sadly closed on Monday- this place will DEFINITELY make my agenda next time I'm in town.
