Friends visiting? What better place to take them in Westhaven? (Yes, there are a few other, albeit limited, notable spots - but for this lunch trip, Scouts proved to be spot on.)
Weather was super, so we sat outside - patio was full, but no sense of "crowding" (Except for the pesky flies...then again, it's nigh impossible to control nature, eh?)
Service was very efficient and our food was quite good.
To wit: beer was icy cold (excellent - and chosen from a relatively limited, yet adequate - selection of draft brews). Lots of other drinks too!
Guest one's Arugula with strawberries and blueberries salad was fresh and large. (Would have preferred balsamic, but over all, salad was great.)
Guest two's Scout burger with white cheddar cheese was done to perfection, (M-MR, slightly pink) large, juicy, "flavor...full." Side of fries were ok.
Guest three's Polish Philly was nicely presented, split and fully loaded. Oh my! (check my photo for accuracy...lol)
My "Bourbonyaki Wrap" (bourbon-marinated grilled chicken, caramelized onions, mushrooms, arugula, goat cheese, wontons...huh?) was so-so. Lots of good flavors in an overstuffed wrap. Biggest shortfall was that the onions were all crowded in one end of half the wrap as was the goat cheese. So, I got plenty of delicious, tender and flavorful chicken bites that were combined with the aforementioned ingredients on half of the bites on the first section...and the delightful goat cheese on the last 3 bites. (Didn't see or crunch any wontons that I'm aware of; might have been too soft from sitting, wrapped)
Chef, if I may make a suggestion, spread the cheese on the bare wrap, "scatter" on the onions, then pile on the chicken etc.) Wrap was very, very soft and pliable, a bit hard to hold. Perhaps it sat while the other guests' food was cooking? (That's likely why it's held together with a wooden skewer.) However - GREAT flavors...just not a carefully prepped dish.
Pub fries were ok...but got cold very quickly at our al fresco lunch.
We'll be back.
