America Eats

Staff and service: Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. They also have solid teamwork/​coordination between the staff (food runners/​general waiter /​other)
Ambiance and space: Comfortable and open space. Clean, bright, beautiful. Really well done. Open kitchen that patrons can view into (you see all the food being prepared and plated). Enjoyed the «We the people of the United States» Constitution mural above the kitchen (see photo). The Ritz overall is (as with all of their places) outstanding.
Food: The menu is based on dishes from all across the USA (they want to have dishes inspired from all different areas of the country). This creates a situation where you can mix/​match various styles/​USA regions throughout the meal. We enjoyed all the dishes we tried. Started with gazpacho soup (recommend this, very interesting flavor). The Vermicelli «Mac» ‘N” Cheese had a dry cheese taste — solid. Also tried the beet salad. Entrees we tried: Eisenhower Stew, jambalaya and chicken on biscuits. Note: jambalaya takes 30 minutes, so put this order in early if you want to get it. Recommendations: gazpacho soup /​beet salad /​Eisenhower Stew.
Wines: We found the fact they had a wine from Texas interesting (didn’t order it, but wish we did). They offer American wines (fitting the overall theme of the restaurant).

I have eaten here on an average of once a week for the last two years and each time it gets better! Cuisine and service is unparalleled with Chefs Nate W. and Lito M. at the helm.
Cuisine is guided by their deft hands and service is extraordinary with a team of Blanca, Keith and Al.
As choice between Founding Farmers and here there is no competition! America Eats is phenomenal in cuisine, presentation, service and ambience!
Don’t miss this oasis in Tysons Corner! Thank you to the great team for many memorable meals!

Been here twice now, and both times with my parents. What a beautiful space with an open kitchen and lovely wall and ceiling decorations, but you spend a lot of time looking at them because the food prep is slow and when the food arrives it is either too dry (chicken, fish), or uninspired (Mac n cheese). Would not waste your time with this joint as Jose Andres has definitely not trained his staff to cook properly what Americans like to eat.

Deciding between Founding Farmers & America Eats is common — fairly similar market, but Founding Farmers is VERY busy, which is great if you want an upbeat brunch and don’t mind waiting, and America Eats feels a bit more sophisticate, but admittedly mostly because it’s not as busy (and in part because its inside of the Ritz).
Service isn’t anything to write about, but I will definitely be back.
Don’t forget that you can park at the back entrance to the galleria (at Ritz) and avoid walking through the mall.

Review is for the hushpuppies, spicy Nashville chicken, and the mushroom Hoppin’ John.
I’ve got to say that the hushpuppies were unimpressive. The ones that you could buy at Long John Silvers had more taste and are about a third of the price. I’ve never seen them served with butter before, it’s usually malt vinegar or ketchup. Not really sure what to make of them, neither of us cared for them.
The Nashville Chicken was pretty good, but it mostly consisted of bony chicken so you didn’t really get very much. It tasted much better sandwiched between the biscuit it came with, and didn’t stand that well on it’s own.
The Hoppin’ John Mushroom salad may look disgusting to a lot of people but I found it to be very tasty. If they would have included another hashbrown that would have made the texture pairing much more pleasing.
America Eats is located very deep within Tysons 2 (it’s like a maze to get there from the mall) within the Ritz Carlton. Eating here was a decent experience but I wouldn’t really recommend it or come here again. I believe they have to do at least 75% of their business through the hotel guests, so it’s a niche resturaunt that wasn’t really great at anything in particular. We came here when it was rather new so maybe things have changed for the better, who knows?

God Bless America… the land of the free and the land of good eats :)!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Ritz Carlton at Tyson’s Corner for a business trip. I was so excited to find out that Jose Andres had a restaurant there via America Eats Tavern. I instantly bookmarked it on Unilocal and had plans to eat there once in Virginia. On my first night in Mcclean, my first dining stop was indeed America Eats.
The restaurant has a very casual setting with an American theme. They have an open kitchen with a large banner on top that says «We the People of the United States…» in large, black constitutional-​style letters.
The menu is not too large and has both small plate offerings and large plate offerings. They have unique names for a variety of their dishes such as «Mushroom Hoppin’ John» or «Nashville hot chicken.» Upon recommendation of my server, I chose to get the «Eisenhower stew,» which comes with beef short rib, charred baby carrot pearl onion and cherry tomato. My server that night was Keith and he had the descriptions of each dish down very well.
Before the entrée came out, the waiter brought out biscuits with honey butter. The biscuits were nice and fluffy but they were a bit on the salty side and I declined a second serving because of the saltiness. It is rather too bad for the saltiness because normally I love biscuits and honey butter.
Nevertheless my «Eisenhower strew» made up for the a bit of lackluster biscuits. Keith had said the meat would «fall off the bone» and he was indeed right. It was very tender short rib.
Something to note is that a first glance, the dishes here look really small. They are small in size and one will think pricey for the size. My dish was $ 28. However despite the appearance of small dishes, they are very fulfilling. I was actually pretty full at the end of eating my dish but I didn’t want to leave without trying one of their desserts.
The unique names of their dishes continue on with their dessert offerings. From Martha Washington’s chocolate cake to traditional American pie via Lemon Meringue and Key lime pie, one cannot help say «God Bless America!» For dessert, I chose to get the Donut Bread Pudding. This comes with homemade ice cream. It’s a unique dessert that’s not sweet and just the right sweet treat after a savory meal.
I am very glad that I got to try this restaurant. How nice it is to be so near the heart of the US, Washington D. C and to eat at the restaurant of the one of the most renowned chefs in America.

First off this restaurant is a unique addition to the Ritz-​Carlton in Tyson’s… you might expect a more «ritzy» eatery, but this is a PERFECT restaurant in any setting!
The décor is amazingly well done and reflective of the various areas of this great and beautiful country that the menu emulates.
We were greeted upon being seated and given a very nice wine menu, with so many VA wines in it, more than we’ve ever seen in any other menu! This made us VERY happy, as we do love our VA wines and feel VA is a close competitor to NY and CA! They even had RdV and Linden wines!!! So, we started with some RdV, which the server advised was made specifically for José Andrés, and we luv’d it!
To start, we enjoyed the deviled eggs… maybe the menu isn’t written properly, because we thought we were getting beet and jalapeño mixed flavor, but it turned out to be six deviled eggs; 2 of each flavor. They were AMAZING! We each loved different flavors for different reasons and all were perfect!
The next course was salad and the wedge salad is definitely not your traditional wedge, the chef’s spin on it made it MUCH better and it tasted so nice! Fresh lettuce really makes it nice, but the incredible thousand island dressing and eggs make it perfect! The beet salad was also amazing, with fresh raspberries around it, it looked perfect too!
The breads that came to the table were OUTSTANDING! Both, the bread that came with the main course and the started bread were perfectly warm and moist!
The entrées were perfectly prepared and plated. The fried chicken was something I could never have imagined and was out of this world! Flavors were a combination of everything from sweet to tangy — AWESOME! The Spanish Mackerel was nice, but the sauce and the «white stuff» in it really took away from the flavor, the only reason we couldn’t give a 5 instead of 4. It was still nice.
I’m sorry to say that we were too full to give the dessert menu a try… we wish we would have though, as it looked amazing! We’ll definitely be back and would recommend this restaurant to you as well!

Have eaten here for dinner and brunch. We were impressed by the dinner. We did the tasting menu and liked everything expect the mutton and the beet salad. The service was good and the biscuits were awesome.
Brunch was a different story. Food was okay. We felt it was over priced four people to be almost $ 160 without alcohol.

America Eats is great for when you really want Founding Farmers but really don’t want that Founding Farmers wait. Fun American food, cozy but also very modern interior, and we’ve never had to wait here.
I’ve been for brunch and dinner and prefer dinner. The brunch menu is pretty limited and you won’t find staples like French toast, waffles, and pancakes. Biscuits (served with all meals) are super yummy and my go-​to entrée is the vermicelli mac and cheese. Hush puppies are also great but leave you needing buckets of water. The flip side to this place being empty is that there aren’t many servers out on the floor and you might wait a few minutes to get your drink refilled. Small complaint for an otherwise great place!

Upgraded to ever so slightly more than three stars. America Eats now has a semi-​secret happy hour 4:30 — 6:30 at their small bar on weekdays. It’s not a great happy hour, considering that the restaurant doesn’t seem to get very busy at that time, the other options available within walking distance, and the happy hour specials and hours offered at other Jose Andres restaurants.
I read about the happy hour online, but when I sat down, the bartender just gave me a regular cocktail menu until I specifically requested the happy hour menu. The food specials are fine, a couple of discounted, fried bar snacks. The $ 1 oysters are a good deal, though the quality was just so-​so.
The drink specials are fine, reasonable prices for very good drinks. I had a maple/​pineapple/​rye concoction as well as their house red wine, and both were excellent, so maybe I shouldn’t be complaining so much about the prices ($ 7 – 8). I’ve had the same bartender the three times I’ve been there, and he is fantastic, but I kept feeling like the restaurant should have had a better selection of food and cocktails on special, since their normal prices are so exorbitant. I ended up getting a blue cheese burger for dinner, and it was good, but not that memorable.
Now that they have a happy hour, I can see this place working its way into my happy hour rotation, but I still can’t see a reason to come on a weekend.

I’ve come here on 2 separate occasions and have enjoyed my experience both times. The first was for a brunch in the party room. We had my friend’s baby sprinkle in there and it was the perfect space — bright and open feel, buffet style brunch brought to the table, mimosas, coffee and more! That was a year ago so my memory of what we ate is cloudy but it was classic American brunch and it was yummy.
Recently went for dinner and we had a blast! The cocktails are wonderful (gives you a taste of a speakeasy cocktail). Loved the fresh Kumamoto oysters, deviled eggs (so Insta-​worthy) and jamón sampler for appetizers. I’m a huge fan of cured ham so I’d highly recommend getting the sampler if possible! I got the foie gras burger (medium) as my entrée and I can’t say it was amazing but it was a good burger. The homemade ketchup is interesting but I wish they served fries rather than their home cooked kettle chips. Chips are just chips.
We got Martha Washington’s chocolate cake and the donut dessert to finish off our dinner and I would say the desserts were my least fave out of the whole meal. The chocolate cake is pretty basic in my opinion — no wow factor there.
The restaurant is located inside the Ritz Carlton and they validate parking so you can park in the Ritz’s self-​park garage.
Out of all the Jose Andres restaurants I’ve been to, this is surprisingly one of my favorites alongside Zaytinya!

I had lunch here a couple of weeks ago and just thinking about the meal is making my mouth water. A colleague and I shared the deviled eggs and the vermicelli Mac and cheese. I also ordered the Jose’s lobster roll (it’s warm and the regular lobster roll is cold).
The deviled eggs came in three flavors (2 of each) — mustard, beets, and jalepeno avocado. The avocado one was definitely the winner for me, but the other two were delicious as well.
The vermicelli mac and cheese and lobster roll were equally good. It’s definitely a great spot for lunch in the Tyson’s area, but as expected (it’s inside the Ritz) it’s on the higher end (totally worth it though). To top things off, service is top notch. I felt like a VIP the whole time I was there.
Oh and you should probably make a reservation before heading over.

We were looking for a nice brunch option to celebrate our mother’s birthday and settles on American Eats because it is an Jose Andres restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the hype. We were pleasantly greeted upon our arrival (although it was a bit confusing finding the restaurant inside the Ritz Carlton which is inside Tyson’s Galleria mall – like a Russian Matryoshka doll!). Once seated I was really surprised how quiet the restaurant was. Brunch is a huge thing in DC, so it was shocking to only see a handful of other tables seated.
We started with various cheeses which were all good, and we really enjoyed the honey and fruits. The fresh bread was also quite good. The entrees however were just okay. We all ordered various things and nothing blew us away. Being my mother’s birthday, they did give us a complimentary slice of coconut cake which was incredibly moist and had the perfect balanced sweetness.
While the meal started and ended great, not everything was as stellar as I expected. I may stop in again if I’m in the area, but I don’t think I’d go out of my way.

I’m not the biggest Jose Andres fan and America Eats didn’t convert me by any means. First of all, it’s a little tricky to get to. The restaurant is physically located inside the Ritz-​Carlton hotel. If you’re coming from the front of the Ritz, you have to take the elevator up where it’s located on the right. Or you can come in front the mall itself (second floor). America Eats does validate parking if you decide to park in either of the adjacent garages; however, you can easily park in the Tysons Galleria parking lot for free and walk through the mall too.
The restaurant is pretty open and has a good number of seats both high and low. I do like how it’s designed. It’s an open kitchen concept and design-​wise very Early American and farmhouse architecture. We were able to sit in their «presidential seats» which contain a couch with pillows that have Washington’s and Lincoln’s faces on them. The table had a picture of a cow on it, to go along with their farm theme.
The menu adopts a more local and regional flavor, highlighting oysters, cheeses, meats, and other food and drink from the Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania area. We ordered a spread of their country hams, which comes with biscuits, mustard, redeye mayo, No. 1 Sons pickles, and Amish-​style pickled eggs. As my entrée, I ordered the egg white omelet soufflé ($ 18). The soufflé contained organic egg whites, spinach, peppers, and mushrooms. It comes out all puffed up like a traditional soufflé and even though it’s light and airy, there’s quite a lot of the dish so it fills you up pretty fast. I also had some of their Counter Culture coffee as part of my meal. Overall, the meal was fine but not remarkable. I wasn’t super impressed with my egg soufflé.
I personally would not make any special effort to come back, but if I was shopping around Tysons and needed to grab a bite to eat I may stop in. Service was very good though, and I like their added touch of delivering the bill to you in a book.

HAPPY HOUR REVIEW
I have heard a great deal about America Eats, so when I was wandering through the Ritz Carlton and saw the restaurant, I had to check it out. Coincidentally, I came in just as they were starting their happy hour (4:30 — 6:30 every night). Looking at the menu, the prices for happy hour drinks are a little more than I would want to pay, but I do realize that this is a Jose Andres restaurant inside a Ritz Carlton in Tyson’s Corner. Until November 30, they are offering complimentary oyster flights, sampling three raw shucked oysters, two from Virginia, one from Rhode Island. I also had lightly salted hush puppies served with homemade honey butter, it was delicious and only $ 4 during happy hour. I also drank the Hearth and Soul which was $ 8, again you’re paying more for location. If I come back again, I will order the beer.
The hosts strongly recommend ordering the chicken pot pie. It is $ 22, and the chicken is from a farm in Purcellville, Virginia.
I don’t know if I will be a regular here, since I don’t live or work in the area (yet) but I’m sure someone traveling on business staying at the Ritz or another nearby hotel will be okay with it.

America Eats is my least favorite Jose Andres restaurant. It actually doesn’t feel or taste like a Jose Andres restaurant.
Starting with the location — the restaurant is inside the Ritz hotel in Tyson’s Corner, but not intuitive to get to and it’s pretty hidden. I feel this way about Bazaar Meats (my fav Jose Andres restaurant inside the SLS hotel in Vegas) too so locations selected by Jose Andres are a bit questionable.
The menu takes traditional American dishes and fancies them up. Some succeed. Some don’t. The oysters are quality if it’s oyster season, well cleaned and presented. The riff on Mac and cheese is my favorite app. It’s cheesy and the top gets a nice broil so you’ve got a cheese crunch. The chicken wings are ok, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend them.
I had the oxtail stew and it was very good. Oxtail tastes like a slow roasted beef so don’t be afraid to order it. If you like stews or pot roasts, you’ll like this dish.
A couple of folks in my group had the jambalaya and its uninspired. Not only does it take 30 from the time you order it, but the consistency and flavors are off. The rice still felt a bit undercooked and overall needed more thickening of the juices.
Another oddity is the tininess of the steak entrée. When it came out, we all commented that the portion and presentation was more like an app to be shared where each person could get a bite. He ate it and joked he’d be having dinner again later.
The restaurant had a good number of guests, but I wouldn’t say it was busy. The reason this matters is that service was slow. There were multiple times we had to go out of our way to get our waiters attention. Also off putting, he made some petty comments about America Eats as compared to the cattle drive that is Founding Farmers. I would say both restaurants provide similar service and similar food, so no need to be pretentious about it.
This restaurant is disappointing. It presents itself as upscale, yet outside of being told its upscale and charged for upscale, its just average.

(This is a way overdue review as I came in for restaurant week a while back.)
So I’ve been a huge Jose Andres fan for some time now and America Eats is simply an affirmation that he can do no wrong. Despite it being in the Ritz Carlton, it still manages to get that comfortable homey feel as though you just walked into a friend’s vacation cabin in the mountains. One of the best parts of the experience was that we were seated right in front of the open kitchen. I was most certainly food-​nerding out. I know Jose wasn’t there nor planning on being there at any point in the night… but one could hope. Onward to the food…
Starter/​Small Plate: Vermicelli «Mac» N Cheese prepared like Pudding — This elegant dish was light, creamy, flavorful and certainly resembled the classic mac n cheese. It wasn’t what I was expecting, but apparently this preparation dates back to 1802. A part of me just wanted a big serving of the heavy, comforting and super cheesy mac that we all know and love #FatKidStatus.
Entrée: Crispy Softshell Slaw — This was the highlight of my meal. For those that love softshell crab like I do, this dish is a home run. The crab was super crispy and seasoned well. The slaw was tossed in Old Bay dressing, which is awesome. The slight acidity from the slaw helped balance out the fried softshell crab.
Dessert: Coconut Cake — a pretty standard yellow cake with coconut buttercream and shaved coconut. It was really good, but the icing was a bit too heavy for my preference. But take my opinion with a grain of salt because I’m not big on desserts anyways.
Overall, another solid performance by Jose and company. What I love about all of his restaurants is that he ensures that dining is about the whole experience, not just the food. Thus, the food is complemented by the outstanding service and ambiance. This would be a great spot for any occasion from a casual group outing to a date night.

We were here on a Saturday around 6:30 p.m. to meet up with with my cousins. One suggested meeting for dinner in Tysons so I passed along a list of places we tried, along with ones we had yet to try. She said she wanted to go to America Eats because they’ve been to another Jose Andres restaurant and liked it. Plus, since I hadn’t tried it yet, well now is a good time.
At that hour of the evening, the place was busy, thus loud. Yet we still managed to have conversations and be heard without yelling.
I didn’t pay very close attention to what others ordered (only what my husband and I ordered) so I don’t have too much feedback to share about their dishes.
Each table gets biscuits and whipped butter with honey in it. The biscuits came to the table warm and were dense but moist. The honey butter added a nice flavor.
To drink, I had an Endicott Pear. The most recent Zagat newsletter for DC had a list, «20 best things to eat and drink in DC this fall». The Endicott Pear made the list. It consists of: «gin, lemon, lavender, poached pear». With that kind of endorsement, what’s not to like? Answer — not much. There was nothing outstanding about this drink. It certainly didn’t live up to the hype. My husband had one of the local beers listed on the menu. I can’t remember the name of it but he ordered it on my cousin’s husband’s recommendation as he also had one. My husband did enjoy his beer.
After looking at the dinner menu, I decided to try «Jose’s lobster roll». The description promised so much — «warm butter-​poached fresh Maine lobster, mayo, espuma, celery, toasted lobster roll». To that I say, «Don’t make promises you can’t keep». One bite into it told me that it was your basic lobster roll and wasn’t as elevated as the menu promised. The lobster was properly cooked, the New England style hot dog roll was toasted, there were a few celery leaves, mayo to be sure, but the espuma barely registered. In other words, nothing to write home about.
My husband ordered the «Steak Hamburg». This is a burger that consists of: «lettuce, tomato, [red] onion, mayonnaise, mustard». A side of homemade ketchup came with it. He was asked if he wanted cheddar cheese and he said «yes». Both this dish and the lobster roll come with «house made Saratoga chips” — in other words, potato chips. They were decent but not mind-​blowing. My husband ordered his burger medium and they did deliver that. He enjoyed his burger but didn’t rave about it. Nor was he impressed with the house made ketchup.
Two in our party ordered the salmon which is supposed to come with fried okra. My cousin’s husband asked if he could substitute the okra for something else and was told «no». Really? That’s not good. Yet when the salmon dishes arrived, neither had any okra in them. Rather, they had a mystery veggie that upon first bite, they weren’t sure what exactly it was. Finally, they decided it tasted like pickled potatoes.
All in all, the staff was friendly. Service was on the slow side.
One thing we liked — this place is in the Ritz Carlton. While we were sitting the lobby waiting for the rest of our party to arrive, an employee came around to put candles on the tables. We chatted with her and she asked us if we wanted some champagne. She even gave us her business card «lobby embassador». We thanked her, but declined the offer. Later, she offered us some fresh apples, which we also declined. I say, if this is normal service at the Ritz — wow! When I win the lottery, next vacation I’m staying at the Ritz! LOL! The bathroom also had an attendant who gives out fresh small towels to dry your hands.
As for America Eats — whether we will return, we’re not sure. Our first impression left us feeling that so much was lacking when it comes to delivering what is on the menu.

America Eats and you will be stuffed when you leave this establishment!
Dispute the hiccups in service the food was A-​OK and I could be convinced to return for a second round.
My boyfriend and I had a double date set during Restaurant Week with UnilocalElite, Megan C. and her hubs. Even before the double date started America Eats was very accommodating to our party. We needed to switch the reservation by an hour and add another seat and without any issues they hooked us up. Upon arrival we were seated immediately. We were seated in the back of the restaurant and got to see the open kitchen, which I thought was really cool. The light airy décor will make you feel at home (if you are from the South). America Eats is definitely something out of the Southern Living magazine.
Alright, what you really want to know about the food and the dining experience.
+Watermelon Salad– GET THIS! So, the salad is pictured and it is nothing what I thought it was going to be. This was absolutely out of the box for me and I couldn’t be happier with the fact that I ordered this. What a delight! The fresh watermelon paired beyond words with richness from the goat cheese and the creaminess of the avocado.
+Canned Salmon– The first thing that came to my mind when I saw Canned Salmon on the menu was Yuck! Who would want to eat canned Salmon? But surprisingly it was pretty tasty. On the platter came pickles, pickled green beans and cherry tomatoes. The bread was a bit over toasted, so making a salmon sandwich was a bit crumby. But overall everything was tasty and delightful.
+Fired Chicken & Cabbage Salad– There’s not too much to say about this. The chicken was moist, not too salty and pretty standard chicken. I really liked the salad, but I wasn’t expecting everything to be pickled. I was a fan that the dressing was light, though I would have asked for it on the side if I knew it was going to come as a salad.
+Steak Hamburg– Just based off of the name I was a bit unsure what it was. Was it a steak? Was it a Hamburger? But, it was a Hamburger. It looked good and tasted good. But, it didn’t blow me out of the water. It tasted like an ordinary burger you would get at any other restaurant. With the burger came homemade potato chips and Ketchup or «Catsup» and those were very good. The one thing that I liked was that the ketchup was a bit spicy which intrigued me. Overall, the burger and chips were good, but was expecting something a bit more.
+Cake– I was looking forward to this the most. When you walk into America Eats they have their two cakes on display (Coconut and Chocolate). Both cakes were dry, so everyone at the table basically ate around the cake and indulge on the frosting. The Coconut Cake was on the fluffy side with coconut flakes mixed in the frosting even between the layers. The Chocolate Cake has these crunchy specks on the outside of half the frosting which was a treat for the taste buds. Though the cake was dry, it was on the fudgy side.
+Hash browns– Though these weren’t a «true» hash brown, I knew I needed a bite after I saw Megan’s husband’s face when he took a bite of these bad boys. Anthony’s face was what sealed the deal. These hash browns, were basically mashed potatoes then fired in a pan to give it a crunchy-​crisp outside and it was something you shouldn’t pass up while you are at America Eats!
SERVICE/​/​Why Jose, why? Your restaurants are supposed to be so awesome and have delicious food. Most of the time, I’d argue that is true, but the service is really weak at America Eats. Our waiter let coffee sit on the table without refills, in addition to iced teas. We had to request water and thankfully a busboy came around to do these refills, though they were very infrequent. No one came by to ask how our service was, or if everything was okay – which it wasn’t. Unfortunately, we had a cold entrée which was sitting out under the lamp for too long. (Read Megan’s review, I am sure she will go into greater detail on this front.) I will mention the waiter, was apologetic and brought a new entrée without complaints.
The food was good, but the service needs to be better for me to make the trek out to Tyson’s again to hit America Eats.

I really enjoy Jaleo, so I was excited to be trying another Jose Andreas restaurant. A big pro on America Eats for having brunch on a Saturday, which is usually hard to find. The restaurant is located in the Ritz-​Carlton attached to Tysons 2, so you can get free parking by the mall and make your way through Tysons 2 into the Ritz.
I went with the steak and eggs, because the steak is steak tartare! My eggs were perfectly sunnyside up with a firm yolk until i prodded it with my fork. The steak tartare was fresh with a nice bite to the meat and a touch of tart in taste.
On the side I had scrapple for the first time. Pork scraps might sound off-​putting to some of the less adventurous people, but this was delicious. The consistency was that of a crab cake.
We had an order of waffles a la mode to share with the table and it hit the spot. Firm on the outside and fluffy in the middle mini waffles with vanilla ice cream. mmmmm
My bloodymary was only okay. Just a classic bloodymary.
Everyone enjoyed their food and service was on point. I would come back to try dinner.
