Amazing Food, Great Ambience, Worth a Shot!
Saturday, November 11, 2006
Went here with my bf last night - and the food was amazing! We both decided to order several items and share - great idea! I sampled the Memphis House Salad - which was terrific, and the candied pecans really complimented the salad well!
The down home gumbo was to die for - served with white rice and large grilled shrimp, definitely an authentic treat for anybody looking to sample soul food at its finest!
My boyfriend ordered the fried catfish - which he gave a mediocre rating to. I enjoyed the hush puppies and rice that came with his meal....... :-)
Although the star of the evening was my entree - the pan roasted, french cut chicken breast with bbq'd corn, string beans and mashed potato pancakes in a lemon-thyme sauce......absolutely to die for! I honestly don't know if I could order anything else from there - the chicken may have ruined me for all the other dishes....
But I'm sure I'll manage to sample other things as well.....lol....
Anyway, the drinks were stiff which was a plus on top of everything else!
Although the service was somewhat medicore - but definitely tolerable.
I didn't get a chance to try dessert - but next time I am definitely saving room!
This restaurant is a must for anyone looking for a fun, delicious, authentic meal in a swanky, low-key, but romantic atmosphere. I recommend sitting in the patio, weather permitting....
Bon appetit!
Pros: Food!, Ambience
Cons: A tad pricey......
