I am SO glad we came here for dinner. I was eating breakfast at another place and this guy started talking to me and recommended Red Hog. He was super interesting giving me back stories on various restaurants and told me I must come here for dinner. So glad we did.
Our server Kyle was fantastic. So knowledgeable and made some great recommendations. Service was top notch!
The menu is an eclectic mix of flavors focused on featuring the best of local produce. We were told that everything sourced was within 100 miles, and the quality absolutely shows!
My friend ordered a cocktail, and I, a mocktail (Blueberry Basil Shrub). My friend enjoy her drink and so did I. The shrub was so wonderfully tart that it opened up my palate for the array of dishes to come.
The Red Beet Dip was a perfect start. Coupled with feta, sumac, tahini, cardamom, among others, the dip itself was a burst of flavors in my mouth. Paired with the soft, pillowy bread, it was so addicting we had to order extra bread!
Next, Vietnamese Sausage! The sausage itself definitely had Vietnamese flavors. While subtle, I could taste all the herbs in every bite. The salad that the sausage sits atop was very refreshing though threw me off a little with its light "creamy" dressing. Never had an Asian flavored salad dressed this way --- but first time for everything, and it was very good.
Chorizo Stuffed Calamari -- baby calamari stuffed with chorizo and bathed in the most delicious tomato harissa sauce. Oh geez, this was so good! The bread that accompanies (from Blue Dog Bakery) is outstanding. Slightly charred and just super flavorful.
Wood Roasted Squash was right to arrive last as it was my dessert. Delicata squash topped with feta, pumpkin seeds, crispy sage, in maple ancho chile sauce. OMG, so decadent.
This was such a fabulous meal, made me so very happy!!
