Creekside Dining

Occasionally we'll go out and eat, so on these days we'll be posting up reviews and pictures of what we ordered. And since this week is Valentine's Weekend, we started off with lunch at Creekside Brewing Company in San Luis Obispo, CA. Great restaurant, average prices. We went here for the first time a week before and our experience was so good that we went back twice.

 

DISH Mojo Tomatoes with Crostini Bread (sweet tomatoes tossed with citrus olive oil, basil, and fresh mozzarella, served with crostini bread) - $7

DANKNESS FACTOR 10/10

COMMENTS

     It's the perfect appetizer, such a fresh and light way to start lunch. we ordered this the first time we went and it was just too good not to have it again. Except we were bummed that the bread was partially burnt and a little too soaked in oil this time around...what can you do. But seriously, orgasm in my mouth.

     Just a phenomenal appetizer, nice and oily. The bread is toasted to perfection, the tomatoes are really sweet. Really nothing to complain about except I wish I had some right now.

DISH California Bird (grilled chicken breast, melted swiss cheese, and smoked bacon on grilled sourdough; with a side of their house salad topped with red peppers and croutons) - $8

     Last time, Creekside made the most perfectly tender and juicy chicken I've ever had, you literally can bite right down into it. This time was a little different though.
     Meh, these were whatever. The last time we came here the chicken was really tender, but this chicken was a little charred and it hurt the texture of the dish. Probably wouldn't order this again. It would probably be a difference story if they cooked the chicken the same as before.

DISH Chicken Quesadilla - $9 (lunch special of the day) with a side of salsa and mayo based dip; along with chicken tortilla soup, their soup of the day.

     The quesadillas were really good, but nothing special. It was kind of hard to eat because they kept falling apart.
     It was a good quesadilla, but I expect a little bit more cheese in my "quesa"dilla. It didn't really make an imprint on me, and the soup was also mediocre. 

 

DISH New York Cheesecake served with caramelized pears - $free

     Here's what you do to get free dessert: Wait till the waiter gives you your check and then have your significant other say "Would we be able to get a little dessert for the birthday girl?" and then you smile innocently at him or her and the waiter will be stoked and give you free cheesecake. Worked for us twice, but the first time was actually on my birthday.

     The cold, dense cheesecake paired with warm caramelized pears was godly.
     Just great... enough said, and it was free.
