We had time to kill after flying in early, this place popped up nearby so we dropped in. We parked on a the street a short walk away - there is mostly street parking in the area, but walking about is quite pleasant in the area.
We were greeted upon entry with a warm welcome and sat immediately at a lovely window table. I have to admit we were not all that hungry, but the menu just screams to be eaten! I love a good off the beaten track burger, and the Fresno fig was exactly what I didn't know I wanted. The burger itself was actually seasoned, I find often times many places won't season the burger Patty when it's cooked. This one was just mighty tasty, the addition of the fig marmalade and some Uy gooey, goat cheese, and arugula, was enough to make me order this. But now add bacon... everything is better with bacon! The bun was just perfect, little toasted on the inside and just toothsome enough to add to the overall bite.
Shishito peppers, if you've never had them you are missing out. They are generally a mild pepper with really good flavor, but once in a while if you're lucky, you get that spicy one! Their peppers are coated and crushed Doritos, why have I never thought of this? They were hands-down, my favorite appetizer I think I've had in memory. The coding comes out so crisp, so crunchy and the pepper inside is just that perfect tender. We had these with the scallion dip, and that was not a letdown. I could've eaten that dip with a spoon, and I may have had a spoonful or three. If you are ever there, this is one of the must haves. And if the time is right, have it with a Moscow Mule, they make it with homemade ginger syrup. And it is a tasty tasty libation.
