All around, I really liked this new restaurant. And that really is saying something, considering I had some weird food issues causing me to be very picky about ordering the night I visited Searsucker. I must first say that the service was impeccable. Our waitress, despite my many questions and requests to leave ingredients out of my dishes, was personable, helpful, and attentive. \n\nI had a small plate (the meatballs with tomato sauce, basil, parmesan cheese, and polenta) and a side dish (roasted root vegetables and squash, without the farmer's cheese that normally accompanies this item). Both were delicious, albeit rich. The small plates were very generous in size, which I love, because it enables sharing. I also thought that the complementary cheddar and black pepper (?) biscuits were amazingly tasty. My friends raved about the cocktails, and I was impressed when the waitress told us that all of their cocktails have no added sugars or preservatives.\n\nThe desserts are especially worthy of mention. Although somewhat pricey at $9 each, they were absolutely wonderful. We had the sundae, which had some sort of bacon brittle, peanut butter cup pieces, ice cream, caramelized bananas, and peanuts. It was so good, I was practically licking the bowl. The combination of textures, plus saltiness combined with sweetness, was perfect. We also had the cinnamon sugar doughnuts with a dark chocolate dipping sauce, which was a HUGE portion and SO yummy. The doughnut holes were steaming hot and just chewy enough. We couldn't finish those suckers, there were so many!\n\nAlso, I paid $30 total, including tax and tip (one small plate, one side, two desserts split with 3 other people). I thought that was impressively reasonable for the high quality of the food and the service. I would go back!
