OK, so I really liked this place. It's one big empty space that's been divided with tables for eating on one side and a gift shop on the other. The decor is actually kind of cute and somebody clearly cared what the place looks like and went to some trouble, and I think that matters even if it's not my personal design aesthetic. Several items on the menu looked really tempting, so we struggled on deciding what to order; they serve breakfast when they're open, right through the lunch period. It's not a traditional restaurant with table service, you have to go to the counter and order. We also thought it was a really good value eating here compared to what we've paid elsewhere recently. And the staff were incredibly nice!
The lemonade had to be made fresh, and so we waited for that and while we did, we shared my blackberry limeade - I want to tell you that is so delicious, it's amazing! Tart, sweet, perfectly hits the spot. Can't wait to order that again next time.
We shared the 7-layer Greek hummus dip plate (without chicken) as a shared appetizer, and really enjoyed all the different flavors coming into play. We also shared my Panko-crusted and pan-fried chicken that was cooked absolutely PERFECTLY! Moist, flavorful, excellent. There are two types of people in the world, those who do and those who do not like American cheese in their mac & cheese; we don't and so we didn't love that one accompaniment on the plate and next time I'd order the potatoes. We absolutely have to talk about the roasted vegetables because they are so beautifully caramelized and yummy - Mr. picky started gobbling those up and I had to make a few wild stabs at the plate in order to get any taste of them.
Dessert: all I can say is, "Texas Sheet Cake, where have you been all my life?" Oh my word, it's FABULOUS. Soft, sweet and my version had toasted pecans on top (Mr. Picky had it plain w/o pecans). The Baker was talking about that fabulous dessert, and then mention came up of the sopapilla cheesecake they make. So we had to try that as well; imagine puff pastry on the bottom and on the top with the somewhat cheesecake-like filling that's baked with butter. We discussed it and they served it warm and it was just incredible with honey drizzled over the top, a gooey, delicious decadent mess you're going to gobble down. We fought over the last bite.
This was a great enjoyable meal and it was a good value when you think about all the food that we shared. They are rightly proud of the food. They serve, and we will definitely go out of our way to come back here again soon.
