First time at this place and it won’t be the last! It’s an unassuming dive bar looking establishment below a yoga studio downtown. What a find though! 2 out of 3 dishes I tried were fantastic! Here’s the breakdown 🙂
Skillet Macaroni & Cheese- 2
I know what you’re thinking. How? Why? But friends this was a true (and thankfully only) disappointment of this experience. It was all wrong. The flavor, the consistency, everything. Three hungry people barely finished a quarter of it if that tells you anything. Just no.
Buffalo Cauliflower- 4.5
And they are quickly redeemed! This was the closet thing I’ve had to buffalo wings in over 12 years! And I used to LOVE buffalo wings. I don’t know how they did it but the breading on it is similar to the breading on a wing. I thought it was strange that it was 3 huge pieces of cauliflower instead of maybe a dozen or so small pieces but it worked! The flavor was awesome and it comes with blue cheese or for those of you who are wrong and prefer buffalo sauce with ranch 😉 The only reason this wasn’t a 5 (cause man it was close) was that it was just the slightest bit too hot. I like some spice. Especially in my buffalo sauce. But this was so spicy I actually lost a bit of the flavors in the other dishes and was drinking ALOT of water. Tone that down just a notch and they are perfection.
Baked Avocado- 4.5
I was not expecting much with this dish. A whole avocado stuffed with goat cheese, bread crumbs, bacon (sans the bacon obvs) and pico with a balsamic reduction. Sounds good right? But I just wasn’t very optimistic. But I was wrong! It was Awesome! So fresh. SO tasty. You can (and we did) eat the whole avocado yourself without sharing. I love me some goat cheese with a balsamic reduction appetizer. It’s probably one of my favorites. But throwing it on top of an avocado? Creative and winning! The only reason it wasn’t a 5 was if there were bread crumbs I sure couldn’t taste them. But it was still a helluva good surprise.
Overall, this place is awesome. The service was excellent. Super attentive and helpful. And there were SO many vegetarian options! There are a bunch more I want to try when I inevitably go back! It’s so cool when you walk into a place and assume the only thing you’ll find on the menu for vegetarians will be french fries and instead there are a ton of choices and the food (2 out of 3 anyway) was incredible. Love it 🙂
