a beautifully located cliffside, multi storey restaurant building with the most gorgeous view - the crows nest. major hunger pangs at lunch time, got us to this very loved eatery. it has a huge, ultra spacious, lavish seating - both indoor and outdoor. of course we sat inside, the sky was overcast and it was a very windy day. on such a day, a spread of hot delicious food is what you need to satiate that hunger! we ordered:
clam chowder
nachos
tomatobasilcrostini
veg. burger
bloody mary
a smoking hot soup is the best kind of recharge you need on such a gloomy, wet day. the clam chowder was exceptional. a huge serving - by itself or with bread, every last drop was slurped clean.
for appetizers we ordered their nachos and tomatobasilcrostini. the nachos topped with beans, onions, cheese, olives, jalapenos and salsa were absolutely lip smacking good. it came with some additional salsa, guacamole and sour cream. even after it had gone completely soggy, i enjoyed eating it!
the tomatobasilcrostini came with a cheesy tomatobasilvinaigrette and sliced sourdough bread at the side. so delicious! the bread was exceptionally good.
i love that all the burgers in usa always come with fries at the side. when the burger arrived, i was a little more than half full. but holy smokes, i still managed to finish the entire burger because it was so bloody good. every single thing in that veggie burger was amazing. the fries too were crisp, well salted and not oily at all. a big thumbs up for all the food here!
the bloody mary wasn't for me, but i still had some. if you like bloody mary as a drink, the sour spiciness, then you will love this one. smooth drink, good flavours, great presentation.
