Wow. What a hidden gem here at the Wyndham. I'm a;ways a bit skeptical of far flung outposts of established eateries and am usually disappointed but that was not the case at all here.
The service was quite good. There was a bit of a pause between the apps and main but nothing excessive.
The apps
The scallops and mofogo. The scallops were nicely seared and the large pieces of bacon with the mofogo were fantastic.
The deviled eggs according to my son were "fire" which is teen speak for awesome
The wedge salad had copious chunks of thick cut bacon, corn, avocado, blue cheese and tomatoes. I'm in nitpicking territory here but the dressing seemed a bit thin and the corn seemed out of place. EDIT. I looked at the parent restaurant in NYC and the wedge there has grilled corn which would have worked better imho.
Mains
The seared snapper was again fantastic. Super fresh and by the way half of the freaking fish. It was huge the sauce on top which was tartar like and the ? Green sauce on the side complimented the fish. Served on a bed of mash which was wrapped in carrot and zucchini slices was also perfect
Shrimp and grits. Again off the hook. The grits were smooth and creamy and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The accompanying broth was super flavorful. I wanted a second plate
Fried chicken. Again according to my son "fire. Crispy skin, moist juicy chicken, perfectly fried it was some of the best I have had. The hot sauce and maple vinegar were also great.
Sides
Mac and cheese. With a corn bread crumble it was also as good as everything else.
Waffles. Savory mini waffles with cheese. Put the maple vinegar on them and you will want to order more. read more
