Not happy with dinner (although lunch is on point).
Normally I eat lunch here once every 2 weeks or so and it is probably the best option in town. However, we went to dinner here last Saturday night and it was subpar.
Good things first: service and atmosphere were both excellent.
Tempura fried cheese appetizer is awesome. Goat cheese drowned in local Bolivar honey - must try.
Loaded potato soup - always on point.
Spicy Bird sandwich - also always solid.
Negatives: mozzarella sticks had no cheese in them (just fried empty batter). I mentioned this to our server after the meal and she said that this was not the first complaint and she will say something to the kitchen.
Grilled gulf shrimp - these were not very grilled (I expected blackened), but they seemed to be warmed up somehow and were kind of juicy/watery. Also, they were extremely small sized, especially when paying $18 for 8 of them.
They were also out of gumbo, which was disappointing to my girlfriend, but it also was near the end of the night.
Would not order mozzarella sticks or shrimp again, and hesitant to pay this much for another entrée not knowing what type of quality I will get.
Going to stick to lunch here. read more
