Well, I think we found a new spot in Newark to take my father when we visit. He actually suggested it and after viewing the menu and the photos, we decided to give it a try last Tuesday.
We arrived for a late lunch / early dinner. There is ample parking and the restaurant is located right off I-95 near the Christiana mega mall. The interior is has a sports bar - craft beer bar tavern feel to it. They have a selection of their own craft beers and, if I'm not mistaken, they may operate a brewery at another site. They have a nice selection of beers, wines and do offer cocktails. The menu is extensive with appetizers, soups, salads, handhelds, and entrees. They do offer daily lunch and dinner specials. And, they do change some of the items on the menu to go with the seasons.
I ordered the roasted Brussel Sprouts appetizer. It was fried with a soy sauce dressing with tograshi, cilantro and garlic. The sauce on the side of the plate was a siracha aioli. It all went together great. It was different and I think I need to try and make this at home. My sister went with the Beets n Sweets that comes with mesclun greens, roasted beets, diced sweet potatoes, onions, artisanal blue cheese, walnuts and black cherry kombucha dressing. She said it was delish. I had a small portion and I concurred. She took most of it home.
My dad actually got TWO orders by mistake. Anyway, he wanted the BLT salad and was given the Chicken Sandwich BLT. it was a communication error partially on him and maybe the waitress. No big deal. They also made the BLT salad and he actually ate 2/3s of both. Both dishes looked really good. I'll just say that he liked both of them. The kettle chips and pickle that came with the sandwich didn't stand a chance.
I went with the Hudson Valley Foie Gras Burger with the truffle fries (which is an up charge). It was delicious. It was probably one of the best burgers I have had in awhile. The fries were tasty and crisp. No ketchup needed for them. My sister got the chorizo (meatless) tacos. FYI, they do offer vegetarian and vegan substitutions on some of the menu items. The tacos looked really good. She said they were slightly spicy and had a nice overall kick to them. I've never had a meatless chorizo taco, however, next time I just might.
I forgot to mention that I tried their 2SP Bogey golden ale and checked in on Untapped. it gets a good review there (3.5). It had a nice, light and crisp taste and it complemented the appetizer and burger that I ordered.
