How sweet is the garden room of
August in the West Village? We decided to split a bunch of small plates instead of having a big meal.
 |
| Fava Bean and Pecorino Bruschetta |
The Fava Bean & Pecorino Bruschetta was a bit lackluster. The bread was kind of chewy and the toppings didn't have a lot of flavor.
 |
| Grilled Baby Octopus |
This octopus didn't really do it for us either. It was also on the chewy side and again, not a whole lot of flavors happening here.
Ok, and then this showed up. If it looks like a corn dog served over some shrimp salad and cucumbers, well, that's because it was. Now we're no snobs, we have no problem with a fancy restaurant deconstructing junk food, but this wasn't even a good corn dog.
Aaaaand then this happened. It tasted even grosser than it looks. Oh August, where did you go so horribly, horribly wrong? Here's our tip, if you want to go to experience the charming ambience of the garden room, just order some beers & the pizza. That looked decent.
We quickly paid the bill and went off in search for something to fill our tummies and get rid of the weird taste in our mouths. That's when we found Cafe Angelique. It embodies everything that comes to mind when you hear the word 'cafe': wire backed chairs, small tables, and delicious pastries galore.
A couple of coffees, some tiramisu, and a stuffed cupcake later and our evening was salvaged.
