I really wanted iced tea, but they do not have fresh brewed iced tea (boo) so I ordered a Mint Julep. It was cold & refreshing, I just hadn't been much in the mood for booze. SP chose a cider. He got the last almost full serving so it was on the house. He later ordered a bourbon on the rocks to try.
We started with an order of Rum-Fired Halloumi (Maggie's Farm spiced rum, dried apricot, caramelized onion, bread). I like this dish a lot. There are 3 good sized rectangles of the hard, salty cheese which is topped with the soft & sweet onions and the chewy fruit. The bread is lightly toasted but not too toasted. As delicious as I remember.
For his meal, SP chose Kafta Burger (Middle Eastern spiced lamb, asiago, pickled onion & cucumber, arugula, harissa labneh). He chose greens over fries as the accompaniment. He ate everything on the board, so I guess it was good. He said he really liked it. He never says much else when I ask him his thoughts for the blog! It didn't look like a huge burger but it was enough for him.
No surprise that I chose Mac & Cheese (beer & smoked cheese bechamel, herb-cornflake crumble) and added bacon. It was as tasty as I remember. Not as cheesy-gooey as some mac & cheese but still flavorful. I don't have much of an appetite on hot & humid days, so I ate nearly half and had to take the rest home for lunch the next day.
We enjoyed our beverages and food. The service was great. Our server was very upbeat & friendly. It was a tad noisy for us, but we're old! We'd go back.
