I've always loved B&O's fabulous desserts - those Rum Balls are to die for! But last friday, we were especially happy to have B&O around. After a long kayak ride and the drive back, it was almost midnight and we were dying of hunger. And B&O serves dinner till 00:00 hours! Woo Hoo!! So, we rolled in there all grubby and starving!
The menu there is such a hodge podge of cuisines - obviously a lot of middle eastern flavors, but they also have a ton of sandwiches, some pastas, steak and probably a lot more! We got the lentil soup - they totally ODed on the vinegar here. I usually love the flavor of a dash of balsamic vinegar in moroccan lentil soup, but this soup had way too much of it, totally overwhelmed the bay leaf and lentil flavors. Guess Pupp's clam chowder (New England style, as I learned :)) was pretty decent.
We then dug into the Egyptian foul (pronounced "fool") and a spinach salad. The foul was again doused with vinegar (instead of lemon juice?!) and wasn't as flavorful as I remembered. The spinach salad had mushrooms (I think that's a no-no for spinach salads!) and almost swimming in dressing *ick*. But when you're hungry, pretty much anything tastes quite decent :)
Our drink of the night was actually pretty decent - coffee spiked with Godiva liqueur and Drambuie (I think) - warm and fuzzy!
