The Verdict: Short-rib nachos came out served in a steel saucepan, and while not apparent from the outset, the portion size is quite large. The cooks took care to layer an abundance of toppings between crispy tortilla chips, ensuring an equal distribution of meat and sauce. Tender short ribs paired well with charred salsa and beer cheese for a memorable melting pot of savory flavors. We recommend this hefty dish for sharing.
Pieces of bacon flat bread, with caramelized onion, white cheddar and thyme, come served shingled on a wooden board and could benefit from a different presentation. Before long, the bread got soggy from the stacking, and the combination of components on top were passable but needed a sauce or something else to tie it all together.
The "Prasino Burger" comes with smoked gouda, tomato jam, pickled onion and arugula on a brioche bun, and it's substantial enough to call a meal in itself. The juicy patty comes cooked to temperature, and the sweet, spicy tomato jam and vinegary onions that accompany it make the dish one worth putting the company's name on.
The Rating: On a scale of one to five...
