Kitchen on Main Street

Potato crusted wings $9 3.25/5 - The owner recommended the wings.  He was nice enough to extend the happy hour and offered them to us at half price.  They were coated with potato starch.  It gave a hint of crunchiness to the outer later.  They were pipping hot out from the deep fryer.  Flavours were missing other than texture.  Lime and pepper would be good!


Goat cheese balls with herb infused honey $9 3/5- one of the few dishes that didn't actually tasted salty.  The goat cheese itself was neutral and matched quite well with the caramelized onion.  I personally don't like onion but it was definitely a good combo.   The owner said they made their own bread.  It wasn't outstanding, maybe better if it was toasted?!  A hint of truffle oil would make it even more attractive.

Beef carpaccio, thin sliced of beef tenderloin, capers, fresh basil, shaved parmesan, croutons $13 3.5/5 - way too much kosher salt on the beef.  All I could taste was salt.  It was a little too much to a point where the salt burned our tongues.  Don't forget the capers were salty too.


Chicken ball, mushroom cream sauce, tossed with rigatoni $16 2.5/5 - I've asked our server if I could replace the lamb chorizo meatballs with chicken meatballs.  Our server was nice enough to do it for us but not sure if it was a great idea.  Salty was all I could say for this: salty meatballs + salty mushrooms + salty cream sauce + (a tiny) undercooked rigatoni  = SALTY.  Mushrooms were canned not fresh.


Tuxedo chocolate cake $5 3.25/5 - The owner was nice enough to offer us free dessert.  Sorry but I have to say it was my favourite dish of the night. (At least it wasn't salty).  The cake was not overly moist but still not dry yet.  There were 2 pieces of strawberries on top.

Service 3/5 - friendly but needs improvement.  We were there in a large group so it might a little harder to gauge.  The owner was friendly enough to extend their happy hour special while our server allowed us to substitute.  However, our food came at different times.  Someone who only ordered appetizers had her food before the others.  Some of us were still waiting for our food when the other side of the table had finished.  Someone forgot to pack one of our leftovers and thrown it out instead. 
PS: same owner as Tapa 23.  They changed their name just to include brunch.  The owner claimed that their regular chef Uli was away so that was why the food was a little off.
