Wow, what a meal! Wonderful atmosphere, knowledgeable & attentive staff, extensive menu, specials, beer, wine, & cocktail list. Many options were so good it was hard to pick. Our group of 3 adults & 1 kiddo got a few appetizers, 2 specials (one entree and one pizza), & the Mulberry Burger not to mention a few beers & a cocktail.
The beer list had some awesome beers both locally known and larger craft brands that are more broadly available. They had a cask beer that looked good but I didn't order it. I had (a few) of the Cigar City Jai Alai IPA and my wife had one of those as well as one of the other IPA's on draft... her sister ordered the gin cocktail, I can't remember what all was in it but she was saddened by the fact that she drove because she could only have one.
The buffalo chicken dip was delicious, it came with 5 small round rolls with a crispy exterior and a fluffy, chewy interior sitting atop a lovely buffalo chicken layer in a cast iron pan. Spicy without compromising flavor for heat. The rolls were also topped with chopped garlic.
The fish special was crab cakes and they did not disappoint. The two other adults in the group were from Maryland originally so they are quite particular about their crab cakes but they did not disappoint. They had minimal filler but weren't the most jumbo lump I've seen. I had a few bites are they were top-notch. Served over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes with asparagus tips.
The pizza special was ricotta, tomato, basil with a balsamic drizzle. The crust was golden brown with a crispy exterior and chewy center, creamy cheese, roasty tomato, and sweet balsamic reduction. Even the kiddo enjoyed it!
Mulberry burger was one of the best burgers I've had out in a long time. I'm not a fan of mayo so I got the aioli on the side (kiddo loves to dip & dunk her food). The mulberry bacon jam added just a touch of sweetness to the perfectly done burger, along with onion straws, pepper jack cheese, pickles & lettuce. Fries were thin cut and crispy. A fantastic burger to go along with your namesake.
Overall, I can happily say that we have added a new restaurant to our mix when we go to the museum area. This was the perfect nightcap after our evening at the Franklin Institute.
