Notes &
The Mick: A Family Affair
This past weekend, myself and a group of family members went to The Mick for dinner. Handling a group of 8 lively individuals can sometimes be a hard task. However, the waitress and her trainee did a great job. Things were busy, and they kept their cool the entire time. Many of us ordered off of the Prix Fixe menu, which is an amazing deal! Soup or salad, entree, and dessert, all for $20.
I, personally, started with the Chop Chop salad. If you haven’t been to The Mick or Delaney’s Grill, this salad alone is reason enough to go. It’s always my go-to, and I’m never disappointed. The salad consists of chopped iceberg lettuce, assorted fresh vegetables, bacon, and a Gorgonzola ranch dressing with big chunks of Gorgonzola. This salad has to be one of the most popular items on the menu.
From there, I had the Pilgrim Turkey Dinner. As a college student, something I crave often is homecooked food. When a restaurant meal can give you that feel, you know your money is well spent. The turkey was cooked perfectly, the mashed potatoes were great, and the cider gravy complimented the gigantic portion in a fantastic way.
Others at the table had salmon, Margherita pizza, Gorgonzola sirloin and Filet Mignon (which was cooked PERFECTLY!).
For dessert was the Tuxedo Mousse cake. This piece, no mountain, of cake was decadent, rich, and accompanied by a raspberry drizzle. My mother, who also had the cake said, “Delish! The portion was large, the drizzled sauces on the plate added so much to the rich chocolate mousse layers of the cake. The cake itself was very moist.”
Overall, it was great, and we even got to get a bit of the live music that was started just when we were wrapping up. The best thing about the entire experience was the atmosphere. Going to The Mick is relaxed, and everyone has a great time. As we were leaving, my aunt said how should couldn’t wait to come back and what a great time she had. When you have that experience with family, there isn’t a price you can put on it. If you haven’t been yet, don’t miss out!
