The Must is back!
I was pretty excited for their return, but in the back of my mind, I was skeptical that my taste buds were still in tune to what I had liked about them years ago.
Their sangria had been tops for Lilly and I but we found it too sweet this time around. Lilly ordered the white version this time and I opted for a beer. Perhaps, she should have ordered the red sangria, which is thee sangria to get here. I don't know that we will ever know, though, as the food did not meet expectations. But more on that to come. I enjoyed my 1/2 pint of beer. I'm quite glad when I have the option to downsize drinks. It just means I can try more of 'em! ;)
Initially, I had wanted to try Manzanita's Smoked Rye Chili Ale but they were out. I settled for Scaldis Peche Mel. A touch sweet but otherwise chock-full of peach flavor.
Answer to come.
For now, before I forget, do not order or buy this Stiegl Grapefruit Radler. It's just awful. Luckily I didn't have to pay for this thing but I actually had a chance to sample it elsewhere at a tasting and man, let me tell you, it's sweet and fizzy as hell. No way would I consider this beer. It's low in alcohol and reminiscent of an overly carbonated Pellegrino with added sugar. Just plain nasty. Moving on...
A decent dish we had was their mac n cheese with Goldfish crumb topping. It needed more, however. It came off to me as a kids menu dish. I could have used some ham, bacon, peas,...etc. It was missing something else. It got boring quick.
I contemplated getting another drink but I didn't like where this meal was going so I passed.
Our last hope was entrusted in their "Sea Monster." It's a cornmeal muffin stuffed with saucy seared shrimp etouffee. A staple dish in New Orleans, this dish was a total embarrassment. Overcooked shrimp, meek flavored broth and a cornmeal muffin devoid of sweet corn flavor. An absolute travesty.
Nice knowing you, Must. I wish we never cross paths again. Unfortunately, your memory is forever tarnished.
