Saturday we checked out a new restaurant. Accidentally.
We tried to go to Maxies, one of our long-time favorites. But it was a 40 minute wait. And when you have a sitter, you're literally on the clock! So we had to find someplace else.
We went downtown towards the commons, and found a parking place in front of the State Theatre. So we walked around the corner and remembered Delilah's was right there, so we walked in, got seated, and started to look at the menus. Turned out the place is not Delilah's anymore. It's called Lot 10 and just opened its dining room a month ago.
The style was a little different, and we really liked it. Instead of offering appetizers, dinners, and desserts, it offers appetizers, "small plates", and side dishes. It was great because you can order more different items and not spend a fortune, and I thought it was very romantic to pass around the plates and exchange opinions on the dishes! We ordered a mahi-mahi dish (the special), a pork tenderloin dish with sage tomato jam and roasted root vegetables, cottage fries with cajun and sweet onion dipping sauces, and a cauliflower mash topped with Gouda. The food had some great flavor, we loved the cottage fries and my husband swears he never wants regular mashed potatoes again. The pork was not as tender as I would have liked, and I did enjoy the jam, but it was heaped on there a little much. Just a taste is nicer.
Anyway, great new little restaurant with a fun different style. But, if you're looking for a good dessert, try someplace else. Lot 10 hasn't hired a pastry chef yet so they only serve sorbet and ice cream.
