This is a surprising joint: it was dark inside, dimly lit and seemingly old-school. Cool? Yeah, I'll go cool. Older look, and a damn piano being played by a well-dressed pianist. I think it felt pretty classy. Or at least trying to be.
I think I have driven by Poppies a couple hundred times over the years. Literally every single time I have driven by and noticed it, I thought "man, I should check that place out sometime". Finally had a chance to come in.
The beer was fine, I had a beer. I like beer. Beer was not expensive. BEER.
Great menu diversity. Good prices. We need more places like this
The staff was nice: polite, timely, professional, well-dressed to match a "classy" decor/vibe, and basically perfect. Good stuff.
Long story short? Alright food, good service, nice ambiance, but nothing spectacular. Average at best.
The strawberry balsamic ice cream was AMAZING though, what the heck? Where did that idea even come from? Whatever, wherever, it was seriously some of the best ice cream I have ever had in my life, period. Hell yes. I think it was a special or limited time only thing, but dammmmnnnn good.
Let's cut to the chase.
I dig the old-school lounge vibe of the bar. Food is good. Reasonable prices. It's a place that makes you feel welcome.
The food was just...okay. They had some specials going, and I really wanted to try the schnitzel, but they were out of it. Bummer. Still on a hunt for that schnitzel. But the chicken was just okay. The pasta was just okay. The bread was hard, probably an extra day old.
We just had another very good meal. The sautéed with mango chutney was excellent. I've dined there for 12 years now and my only complaint is their Mexican food isn't hot enough. Prime ribs ans pork ribs are always good. The veggies are fresh and not overcooked. The service is nice and the prices better than average. I feel lucky to now live near a nice, original. non-chain restaurant.
The trout was pretty good and the carrot cake was as good as one from the grocery store. We keep going back for the ambiance, it's a good place to catch up with friends.
