WOW.
Okay, so to start off, let me be clear that my aunt had been raving this kale salad all week! I happen to love kale- was like, this place sounds wicked!
Aunt surprises me and says might as well go get some of that kale salad (because to be honest- she was craving it ever since she first tried it a few weeks back- and now I know why)
Let me start off by saying- all my other reviews need to be knocked down a notch for the comparison to this place! How? Well,...
At first when you walk in, you know- you're like- "oh, it's not all that bad looking- they've got a thing for seahorses! I could swing with that!" Service was this really nice cool chick :D she did a great job- not overly anxious or tardy (good job as it's hard to be on the edge of that knife)
The little things like their menus and bill pockets are totally adorable and very simple yet catchy (loved that!)
But wow. Their food was to die for! Okay- I'm a vegetarian, so to begin with, the place isn't catered specifically to us, but do they ever excel in what they offer (they do have various plates available where modifications can be made- the chef is such a doll ((he/she stole my heart)) ) the menu itself is made (by the looks of things) by inspiration of the chef- and certain plates (like their lovely and oh so delicious kale salad) stay around pretty neat year long (if I'm not mistaken ;) ).
My aunt will vouch for my reaction to the food. Kale salad each (which btw- is super fresh crispy leaves covered in a very thin yet succulent Caesar and loads of grated parmigiana ((I think?)) ) cheese) and our mains that we shared were these lovely beets (that had a balsamic sauce, feta cheese, onion) and pasta dish (caramella pasta with this SO GOOD cheese within) covered in a wine like sauce(?). I stopped every thing I was doing- thought processes halted, conversation stopped- nada. My aunt wanted to take a picture of my face lol!
But what nearly made me cry was the "Apple pie" (which happy belated PI day of the century to you all)! And by all means- I do mean I teared up, it was that good. This thing is like a pizza pocket pouch that was enrobed in cinnamon/brown sugar, was oozing brown sauce and had a dollop of sour cream ice cream on it... OMG
The end. My life goals are complete.
