Chicken strips turned out to be a little mushy beneath the coating, but an entree of succulent fried shrimp delivered a nice crunch and hearty flavor.Ĭhopped steak is the kind of dish you might expect to be confined to “Throwback Thursday” postings on social media. Other appetizers won admiration, too, especially a stack of finely fried mozzarella slabs bathed in just enough marinara sauce. And it came with a bright strawberry jam filling a cute little cap-top canning jar that exuded such freshness you could imagine a kindly grandmother fixing up a batch every day in the kitchen. The eggs were ideally cooked, the hollandaise sauce fresh and velvety, the Canadian bacon ham-like in thickness and character.Ī great go-with for breakfast or any meal here is the skillet cornbread appetizer, which had a hearty consistency that avoided the dryness of many a cornbread.
Eggs Benedict, a dish that can so easily end up rubbery and bland, gets loving attention here.
