I’m sitting here at the court house for jury duty, fervently hoping that I don’t get picked. I am thinking of a million things I’d rather be doing, so I try to get my mind into a nice place to calm my anxiety. Naturally, I gravitate towards food…. Nancy’s Hustle is a newish restaurant that we tried last week that I forgot to write about.

Menu is divided into Small and Large  Plates. Small plates were appetizers and they had a very good selection, so we had two.

Large plates are entrees.

This is a rabbit dish made well. The leg was tender and game-y in a good way. The loin was deceptive, taste is still rabbit-y but texture was so smooth.

This was D’s entree. Steak was cooked perfect medium. I don’t think you could ever go wrong with a truffle and steak combo. Potato Pave is made of super thin layers of potatoes. There is some sort of flavor to it. I’m on a mission to find a good recipe for this because it’s a nice variation from the usual mashed potatoes.

I’m embarrassed to say that I forgot the name of this drink. It was a special for that day, hence not on the menu. Given the level of amnesia, this is one amazing drink!

I love this dessert. The cheesecake had a very home-made feel and the drizzle of black pepper honey had this spicy-sweet flavor that is always a winner to me.

I know that I vowed not to to take restaurant reviews too seriously, as most professional reviews are muddled with personal interests. This restaurant had a stamp of approval from most food writers and I’m glad I jumped on the bandwagon.  Food was executed perfectly and the service  was good.
