Decided to eat here based on the name, and the fact I haven't had fried green tomatoes in several years. The namesake dish was interesting. Definitely not what I was expecting, but flavourful and different. Rather than a southern profile, it was based on Italian flavours. The fried tomato was covered with mozzarella cheese broiled to get the cheese melted and crisp and then covered with a tomato sauce. The sauce was reminiscent of, almost, a pizza sauce, but with stronger Italian seasoning and a burst of what I think was the flavour of green pepper. Usually I think green pepper is overpowering, but here it really worked.

Went on to have the crab cakes, which were good, but not great. The flavour was missing something, even with the mustard/ mayo sauce.

For the main course, I had the Vegan Gnocchi cacciatore with Beefless tips. If you've had Garden Beefless tips, I'm fairly certain that is what they are, and I suspected it when I ordered. They have the same texture and similar taste, so if you like them you won't be disappointed. The meal was actually very good. A nice balance of green and red peppers lent a sweet and tangy flavor to the tomato sauce. My least favorite part of the dish was the gnocchi. It was fine tasting, but texture and flair reminded me of a gnocchi that I've bought at Trader Joe's.

All in all it was a good meal. We sat outside in the back which has been tastefully decorated and has a slight romantic air about it. Good place for a date night.

And the last picture I posted with the review was brunch the next morning. I used the fried green tomatoes, crab cakes and the bread from dinner to make an egg dish that turned out delicious. Great use of the leftovers and all of the flavours worked well together.
