Crispy Zucchini-4
These were not at all what you would expect. They were more like think thin apple slices and very little breading. But it worked! The entire table loved them!
Wood Fired Cauliflower- 2.5
I’m not really sure what’s happening here. It’s basically cauliflower with some seasoning on top. Once you cut into it, it’s just plain cauliflower. Very confusing. Not bad, just odd.
Burrata (not pictured)- 2.5
I love Burrata. And have had some fantastic burrata. But this was not it. I didn’t care for this texture and although the tomatoes were good, it was overall disappointing.
Squash Blossom Pizza- 3.5
What this had going for it more than anything was the crust. If this was ordered at the table again I would have a slice for sure. But with all the choices on the menu I probably wouldn’t choose this one for myself.
White Pizza with Asparagus- 4.5
This was Excellent. Sadly it was the special for the night and so I’m not sure how often they will offer this. But it was SO good. It comes with pancetta or prosciutto, I can’t recall, but obvs you just ask for it without it and they were happy to do so. The white sauce was super tasty and paired perfectly with the asparagus. But again, the winner of this pie is the crust. It’s what will bring me back here again!
Overall, very lovely atmosphere inside the Crescent Hotel in uptown. We had a large party and somehow the acoustics were good enough that we could actually all hear each other in a very busy restaurant. Our waiter was pleasant but seemed way too busy to really be paying any of his tables the attention needed. Our drinks and food came out quickly for a Saturday night but they definitely need more support in the front of the house.
