This place has some promise. The food was actually pretty good minus a couple of flaws. The only thing that was a downer was that we had a douchey waiter.

Recipe please? I grill sweet potatoes, but never get them crispy like that!

No recipe really. I just sliced the sweet potato thin, tossed and coated very lightly with olive oil, then grilled inside a grilling basket. I let finish at a low, dry, heat. They were delicious.
