When M and I left the office a little after 7:00 pm, it was still
bright and partly cloudy out. (Yes, I know sunny reads nicer there but
blame Tom Skilling and/or Mother Nature. It was what it was.)
We decided to get dinner to celebrate. And, a solsitcelebration calls
for something new. First, we went to Epic Sky, Epic's rooftop bar, for
a drink. It Is a lovely space but hindered by a lack of food menu and
complaining staff. If they ever serve something beyond stale popcorn
up there, I can see loving it. Even without food, I like it a lot.
Then, we were torn between sushi at Sushi Samba's roof and sampling
English's new menu. We took a glance at the new menu and decided to
give English a try. Score one for the lazy, as its maybe two blocks
closer than Sushi Samba.
English's new menu -- chef'd by Rahdika Desai of Top Chef Chi fame --
is super good. Homage to English pub food with lots of tasty treats.
M had a lobster cake slider with a Greek salad. I had an amazing
chicken sandie (pepper jack, bacon, avocado and a spicy aoili). We
both had splits served with a slice of strawberry. As we sat outside,
the service left a lot to be desired but the food was incredible.
Considering that I liked the old menu, I have to say that Desai made
Desairable changes for an awesome new menu.
