Flying Mango

For appetizers, we were enticed into ordering the “Bag of Bones” selection. What we received was a small brown paper bag with enough rib sections, prepared Memphis style, to satisfy me and Ross.

I ordered something I had never tried before, the 24-hour Smoked Brisket with mixed vegetables and spiced apples finished with a glass of their Pinot Noir. For presentation, I spied on my plate a colorful medley of the vegetables along side two thickly sliced cuts of nicely barbequed brisket with a small bowl of the Spiced Apples. The brisket I found to be flavorful but a little too dry for my taste. There was a lot of fat in the brisket (not unusual) which no longer moistened the meat. The Pinot was perfect with the brisket and very drinkable. The spiced apples were cooked perfectly in a wonderfully tasting sauce. Ross tried the Shrimp Creole which he said had a nice spicy flavor, generous shrimp, and he would certainly order it again.

We finished out our meal by splitting the Southwestern Chocolate Cake with a distinctive Red frosting design (pepper shape) on the top. I thought the flavor was wonderful with a light, not too sweet, chocolate flavor with a touch of a bite to it. Wonderful !!

The prices are very fair for the value received and the service was a little slow at the beginning but then very attentive the rest of the evening. We will certainly be back to try other items on this very interesting menu.
