2020-10-30 TestaBarra. Macomb, Mi…read more The first time we came here was for their happy hour, tonight we came for dinner. Menu are both physical and virtual via QR code to access their website menu. There is definitely too much to talk about here so be sure to look at my pics as I've provided a quick summary in the captions. J Baldwin's famous calamari. After receiving the dish, I think I've had it before at J Baldwin's in Clinton Twp. The calamari is not your typical calamari and is sauced with his Beurre Blanc famed on the Food Network. While it's still breaded, the Beurre Blanc is enough to soften it completely while adding an explosion of flavor. The Beurre Blanc is made with olive oil, shallots, peppercorns, bay leaves, lemon juice, wine, and cream. Personally I think this dish was way too sauce heavy. There wasn't a single crispy bite. While flavorful, I was looking forward to a light and crispy texture, but didn't get it. I think this could have been accomplished with going lighter in the sauce, maybe just drizzling it on, and providing a serving of it on the side. 3,5 stars. Truffle Sausage Pizza. Tradition hand tossed dough that's not too thick and not too thin. Italian sausage, truffle oil, parsley, Gouda, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. The Italian sausage was not what I expected. Rather than slices or tiny meatballs, it was ground up. I kinda liked it to tell you the truth, but it wasn't evenly applied. It was more densely populated in the center, which left the perimeter sparse with toppings. While the truffle oil sounded good, it didn't work for me. Here's the thing you need to know about truffle oil, it's not made from truffles (mushrooms)! That's right, truffle oil is typically made from extract, which is why the flavor is so intense and a little goes a long way. Local Carbonara Bucatini. Made the traditional way with cuts of pork cheek (guanciale). The bucatini pasta was nicely done and not overcooked. The guanciale was also nice and crispy as it should be. It was lighter on the cheese than I would have liked and none was served on the side, but it was Pecorino Romano and it was shaved from a block. Did I ask for more on the side, of course I did! The black pepper wasn't also as prominent as it should have been, but the server did have some fresh ground at the ready when it was served. 4 stars. Overall, I would have to say that I'm still a fan of J. Baldwin's Testa Barra. The food is prepared fresh with quality ingredients, and the dishes are inspirationally classic, and sometimes with innovating or modern twist. I've consistently never been disappointed with every visit. If You would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit!

The menu just changed the day that we visited and some of the items weren't yet available to purchase. But there is a decent sampling of small plate items to pair with your wine options. There is also a nice selection of bourbons, cocktails, beer and more if that's more of your lane. Certainly a nice place to stop when you need a break from shopping. The ambiance is above average; it is nice but not extravagant and you'll fit right in with Saturday errand running attire. My only suggestions are that they add flights and more non dairy small plate items. Overall I did enjoy my time here. The space is quaint and easy to make new friends if sitting at the bar, or at least that was my experience.

I liked that it came in a pizza box. The sour cream was amazing. The downfall : the flavor of the taco meat was disgusting and it made it hard to get through or enjoy. Unappetizing - threw most of the nachos away. Two of us had the same opinion about the beef flavor - If you can recall elementary or middle School nacho meat flavor / seasoning back in the 90s that's what these tasted like. I'd be willing to try them with a different meat maybe it would taste better ?!

Before I get into the food, I really want to call out our server, Amanda C. We had never been there before and she was incredibly attentive to us, explained everything that they offered, gave us a lowdown on the spice they used and how it ranks compared to other foods ("This one is about the heat level of Buffalo Wings") which was great. My wife likes her food spicier than me so she asked if she could have some extra spice on the side and she brought out 3 different kinds of spices for her to experiment with, which was above and beyond. When it was time for us to leave, she brought out extra sauces for some of the appetizers we didn't finish so we could enjoy them at home, and even gave us little plastic containers if we wanted to take the extra spices home separately. Truly great and I hope the next time we come here, she'll be able to serve us. Now on to the food! Dynamite shrimp was very tasty but could have been a little spicier in my opinion. The breading and crunch was very good, just not as spicy as I usually feel like it's served. Brussels Sprouts were delicious and my wife and I cleaned the plate. Will definitely be ordering that again. The Yellowfin was good and maybe would've stood out more if the other items weren't better in my opinion but still tasty. Chicken Satay was very tender and flavorful and the peanut sauce was delicious. My favorite item was the House Speciality Fried Rice. We got it with tofu and vegetables. The fried egg on top was great and I literally don't think I've had better fried rice in my life. I truly don't want to eat any other fried rice but this one, which is a bummer because it's a 15 minute drive and not on the corner next to my house. We also had the Thai Iced Tea. I generally love this drink and it was good, but not the best. The crushed ice on top was quite excessive and I wound up scooping most of it out cause it wouldn't watered down my drink before I even got to it. I'd say bigger chunks of ice in that drink or maybe you can order it with light ice. Total was around $85 which is a pretty reasonably priced meal for 2, but Happy Hour prices attributed to that. We also made sure to give Amanda a nice tip for her excellent service. Will definitely be back!

We were looking forward to trying the food here, since we love restaurants that serve dishes that are made from scratch! They brought house made chips for us to munch on while we looked over the menu... they were so delicious!! I got a Hangover Burger (with candied bacon, sunny egg, avocado crema, caramelized onion, tomato jam, garlic aioli, aged white cheddar)...it definitely had a lot going on, but the flavors were great together! We also tried the Mad Mushroom burger (cremini mushrooms, grilled onion, pickled jalapeño, chipotle gruyere, sriracha aioli)...since the jalapeño was pickled, it was just the right amount of spicy, loved every bite! The burgers were huge so we shared a side of Dirty Fries - the whipped feta was so amazing, and the fries were cooked to perfection. Although I was pretty full, I was intrigued by the Pistachio Olive Oil Milkshake, so I had to try it, and wow was it tasty! The olive oil just brought out the pistachio flavor, and I shamelessly slurped to the last drop!

The swordfish was out of this world- tender, succulent, & well spiced. Even the saffron rice it was served upon was lovely. Hubby enjoyed the cracker crusted app pizza, as well. The wagyu burger was quite possibly the best burger I have ever enjoyed. Even the gluten free bun was, (dare I say), a stand out. Hubby's wagyu was served on a "normal" bun which he said was outstanding as well. It is called a Grown up Happy Meal. Finally, the truffle fries were prepared in what appeared to be in the classical, French way, that is, like pomme frites. The only down side to these fries was that I may not ever be able to go back to normal fries. Yes, that good. And served with aioli- my favorite. This dining experience was fantastic. Great friendly guests, too!

Slow service- we can't see the kitchen, but for a small menu the service was too slow leading us to question organization and other things. Drinks- the prices are astronomical. Two gin and tonics were $38. That's outrageous! Food prep- In concept good. But it's not carried out well. Stuffed chicken should be sliced thinner or flattened then rolled. No problems with fried selections. Staff- need more thorough training before tending bar or serving tables. It's a speakeasy, so an inexperienced bartender should not be left on their own. If you do it well at justified prices, regardless of road construction, people will come. This establishment could use professional consultation. If they listen, could be amazing, but needs work.
