Baltimore's best restaurant guide!
It was chunky with lots of vegetables (which I love) and enough crab and seasoning to proudly call itself a "Maryland" crab soup!
Red velvet, chocolate, and peanut butter cup. Each had a little touch of milk chocolate, surprised in the middle. The red velvet was topped with a nonpareil and was almost entirely flavorless. The chocolate was topped with a chocolate button and had a very moist cake with velvety ganache-like frosting. The peanut butter was topped with a mini pb cup and had a dry, crumbly cake with a velvety smooth ganache-like frosting. If we could top the chocolate cake with the peanut butter frosting, it would be perfectly heavenly.
Marinated and grilled whole chicken with "hot" peri-peri sauce and a side of butternut squash with grilled corn, red onion, dried cranberries, cilantro, and chili. They were both AMAZING. Try the garlic and wild herb peri-peri sauces on the squash as well. Even more delicious!
Marinated and grilled, with "hot" peri-peri sauce. Tasty and would order again!
A robust mix of bell peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, celery, olives and feta with dressing. It was incredibly fresh, crispy, and bright, although a little on the oily side. The feta cheese was a perfect complement to the veggies.
Torn bread, clothbound cheddar, 'appalachian,' braised onions, vegetable broth (beef-free). This soup was a tad salty, but delicious with the chunks of onion and slightly crispy bread peeking out from the broth with the toasty cheese.
Watermelon, jicama, and mint. Served at their 5pm Friday Pig Roast. Juicy, flavorful, fresh.
Augula, fennel, oranges, goat cheese, and passion fruit dressing. Light, refreshing, and not heavily dressed. A perfect summer salad bursting with bright flavor.
Battered and fried eggplant atop spaghetti squash, with Parmesan shreds and tomato sauce. It normally accompanies pine nut risotto, but I subbed extra spaghetti squash for a lighter dish.
Romaine head halved, grilled, and topped with a drizzle of dressing and Parmesan. Deconstructed style, with a side of dressed tomatoes & onions, and croutons. Perfect amount of dressing on the entire dish and smokiness throughout.
Queso fondue, salsa roja, pumpkin seed crema, cotija cheese, and topped with chorizo add-on. The salsa was so fresh, and the crema was a shining star!
Watercress, two large (fresh!) squash blossoms, roasted corn, red bell pepper, and a light creamy vinaigrette. Was larger than expected, and almost as filling as a meal on its own. If you like watercress, you will love this! Tip: Ask to have the watercress chopped down a bit, as it was quite large and my animalistic eating provided entertainment for other diners.
Grilled Mahi Mah, papaya salsa, harissa, corn nuts (we skipped the corn nuts). It was a bit on the drier side and a little less flavorful than the meal's other counterparts. Choice of crunchy, soft-corn, or soft-flour tortillas.
