Saint Marc USA is a dining destination that expertly blends the comforting nostalgia of beloved dishes with a modern, imaginative approach. As I peruse the menu, I’m captivated by the intriguing descriptions, each one hinting at a harmonious dance between the familiar and the extraordinary.
Elevating the Ordinary into the Exceptional
One dish that immediately piques my interest is the Grandma’s Meatballs. I can practically smell the warm, savory aroma wafting from the plate as I read the description. But wait, there’s a twist – these meatballs are served with a truffle-infused ricotta and roasted garlic-parmesan crumbs. My taste buds tingle with excitement, eager to experience the familiar comfort of grandma’s meatballs elevated by the luxurious flavors of truffle and the irresistible crunch of parmesan.
Another standout is the Chicken & Waffles. Now, this classic Southern staple is a beloved comfort food, but Saint Marc USA has taken it to new heights. Their rendition features a buttermilk-brined, crispy fried chicken atop a fluffy, golden-brown waffle infused with maple syrup. The kicker? It’s all drizzled with a bourbon-maple glaze that promises to tantalize the senses with its perfect balance of sweetness and warmth.
As I continue exploring the menu, I’m intrigued by the Grown-Up Mac & Cheese, which boasts a creamy, indulgent blend of four different cheeses and is crowned with a crispy panko topping. This humble dish has been transformed into a sophisticated, crave-worthy delight that would make any adult feel like a kid again, but with a refined palate.
Embracing the Unexpected
But Saint Marc USA doesn’t stop there. They’ve also taken the classic Grilled Cheese and given it a delightful twist, pairing it with a tomato bisque shooter for a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. The thought of dipping the warm, gooey grilled cheese into the velvety tomato bisque has my mouth watering in anticipation.
Perhaps the most captivating dish on the menu is the Lobster Pot Pie. This modern interpretation of a traditional comfort food staple features succulent lobster meat nestled in a buttery, flaky crust, accompanied by a creamy sherry-lobster sauce. It’s a luxurious take on a comfort food classic, inviting me to indulge in the richness of the sea and the comforting embrace of a familiar dish.
