Not too long ago, the hubby and I traveled to Nashville
We both began our meal with an appetizer. I chose the sweet potato biscuits,
and the hubby settled on smoked salmon angel wings. The biscuits were
delicious, sliced and filled with sweet potato puree and served with
sorghum, peach preserves, and whipped butter. The biscuits had a nice,
fluffy texture and the overall package was sweet, but not too sweet. We
definitely had to consume them with a knife-and-fork approach. The Angel Wings, a signature dish, were actually smoked salmon quesadillas with cream
cheese and scallions and served with grapes on the side. Tom thought they were tasty, but nothing really specially. However, he did say
that it would have made a tasty light lunch with the addition of a side salad.
For my entrée, I chose the banana bruleé French toast, and yes it was as
good as it sounds. I love the fact that
it was made with wheat bread (which is the only kind of bread we eat at home).
It was stuffed with a lemon ricotta filling and topped with slices of banana
that had been sprinkled with sugar and torched (hence, the bruleé effect).There
was an appealing textural contrast between the soft French toast and the
crunchy bruleé topping on the bananas. It sweet and rich, almost like
dessert. My meal was served with a side of house-made sausage patties, which
were extremely tasty and had just the right amount of kick. The sausage
offered a much needed savory counterpoint to the almost too sweet French
toast. Tom ordered the San Francisco Joe for his entrée, which
consisted of eggs scrambled with filet mignon, caramelized onions, spinach and
cheese and served over hash brown potatoes. He felt that the dish was
very filling, and that everything was well-seasoned. The hubby doesn't
usually eat a lot of steak, but he was very satisfied this time. His only complaint was that his eggs were a bit runny. He was also very happy
that I let him finish off my sausage :)
Final Impressions: Tin Angel is a great choice for Sunday brunch, but
beware; parking is absolutely terrible. The restaurant has a miniscule parking lot behind
the building, and most of the patrons had to park along the street up a very
steep hill. Be sure to take advantage of their valet parking
service. The restaurant itself has a very cool bar area, so it seems like it would be
a good place to grab a drink with friends after work, but it's also nice enough that you
should feel comfortable bringing a date for a romantic evening out.
