Totally awake

Yesterday was Rach's birthday. We both took the day off and chilled/ran errands. I took her to Greenland Cafe for dinner.
We'd been to Greenland before and although we had mixed feelings about our lunches I had more of a problem with the way management was treating the waitstaff than what was on my plate.
This time we ordered tapas type stuff and everything was delicious. Its fun eating like that. The waiter only brings out a couple plates at a time and you get to sample more of the menu than you would just ordering entrees.
Everything was super good and I have to try hard to find any negatives. Quick breakdown: cold marinated portabella, edamame, scallops, jerk chicken wings, fries.
Normally I steer clear of marinated mushrooms but I figured to go for it and wasn't disappointed. They were very flavorful, firm and not slimy. The soy beans came in the shell, obviously, and had a little bit of super tasty sea salt on them. The scallops were perfectly seared and rested on a thick slice of, not bacon, but something closely related on top of a very light shallot puree. When the wings hit the table you could instantly smell rosemary, awesome. I grew up with a rosemary obsessed mother and she passed that trait on to me. The sauce was just spicy enough and the rosemary came all the way through but didn't over power.
I only have two criticisms. 1) The wings were very juicy. I prefer a more well done, temp wise, chicken wing. Then I will sauce with reckless abandon. That is strictly my personal preference though. 2) The fries were good, seasoned well, better than at a lot of places. Skin on is the way to go and Greenland went there. They were just on the oily/floppy side. It shouldn't be tough to get a good crisp on thin cut fries.
I had one bottled pilsner that was good but I don't remember the name. Rach had two cocktails, one of which was really nice and the other was probably the best drink they have in the whole place. Dirty Sexy Dirty: dirty gin martini (it used to be made with Belvedere but I suspect they changed it after I ordered it with gin a few months ago ;-) with lemon juice and gorgonzola stuffed olives. holy crap.
Overall the meal was a success. I give it a high 9 out of 10.
