On
Tuesday, August 30 Jenny and I boldly ventured into Brave Horse Tavern (BHT)
for the first time. The ambiance was causal and friendly. The sign at the front
invited us to seat ourselves. BHT is the kind of place you could go after a
long day and grab a beer (and I don’t drink beer, so I’d have a glass of wine
or a cocktail) with your boss, or a friend or go on a date night! It was fun
and the crowd was young, hip and attractive. We took seats at a high table with
bar stools.
Let
the menu examination begin – we both drooled (not literally) over the options,
as we caught up on our weekends and upcoming social events. We decided to both
get burgers and share an order of fries.
My
burger – the burger of the week – Dante’s “Inferno” Burger! Watch out now! Jamaican
jerked turkey breast, jalapeño aioli, pickled red onions and sweet mango relish
– oh it’s a party of fiery fierceness in your mouth! To accompany my burger and
our shared order of fries, I had sangria! Now where my burger impressed with its
powerhouse of tastes, my sangria fizzled with the lack thereof. Being candid, it was flat, perhaps overly
iced and the mixed flavors of the wine, fruit, brandy and soda did not impress
this Seattle foodie’s taste buds. That’s Real talk for you.
The
finish aka dessert – Jenny and I decided to share, which is a good idea because
as the saying goes – a moment on the lips forever on the hips! So we dined on a
baked to order chocolate chip cookie a la mode. The cookie was decent, not as
hot as I hoped it would come out. However, the ice cream was divine! And it did
NOT disappoint! A creamy vanilla bean! Awww…it completed the meal!
All
in all BHT is a hip, trendy restaurant on the rise, and the price is right! TD definitely
knows what he is doing. Now
onto some Serious Pie with my partner in crime/eating, J. Kor! We’ll be there
next Tuesday around 7:30pm. Join us if you can! It’ll be EPIC – It might even
change lives!
