Last night my coworker/friend went to McKnight's Kitchen and Tap per a suggestion from Kara. I definitely have to thank you! This place was really nice and very classy. This restaurant is inside of the Double Tree Hotel. There is a side entrance for the patrons not wanting to walk through the whole hotel.
We were seated right away, and we looked at the menu, and there was so many delicious looking options. We didn't arrive in time for the Happy Hour, but that is okay, next time I will do my best to plan that out.
Nika and I arrived about 7pm, and we ordered soon after. Nika ordered the Crab Stuffed Shrimp, with the Beer Cheese Mashed Potatoes as her side, and an additional side of the Onion Petals. I had ordered the Shrimp Po Boy that came with homemade chips on the side, after some back and forth between a few other options on the menu.
Our food was so delicious! Each breaded item had a little different breading to it. The Shrimp on my Po Boy was nice and lightly breaded, and the shrimp was huge! Nika's Onion Petals had a little thicker breading to it but with the wasabi aioli dipping sauce! OOOOOO It was so good! Even her Crab Stuffed Shrimp, was AMAZE-Balls. The Shrimp was Ginormous! Definitely felt like we got our money's worth.
I like to write reviews true to my experience and one that note, there were two down falls to the evening, not end of the world, but still worth mentioning. Our food, delicious as it was, took about 40 minutes to arrive. It didn't seem that bad, because we were chatting and catching up, however it was still longer then we were hoping to wait. The other downfall was Nika's Beer Cheese Mashed Potatoes were cold, lacked flavor, and seemed a little too pureed. The rest of her food was nice and hot and ready to eat. It seemed like the cooks plated the mashed potatoes, and then just waited for the rest of the food to be done and the mashed potatoes got cold in the process.
Overall, I would definitely go back, and I would recommend it to other people. I was pleasantly surprised by the options and the area itself. According to the waitress they have been a part of the Double Tree Hotel just under a year. It was nice to hear they also have a breakfast option if anyone wants to try that out as well. I know I will be going back for more dinner options. read more
