Bao Brewhouse
Bao Brewhouse is a stellar spot to kick off a weekend and we just visited for a double date night. We sat upstairs in the Tea Room and got our weekend started with the DJ (the Tea Room has a DJ every night they are open).

The Tea Room's menu & ambiance satisfied our adventurous palates with Chinese inspired plates & decor. Service was solid and GM Taylor & server Caleb ensured we had everything we needed while we dined.
We started with some creative craft cocktails. The Lucky Dragon came in the coolest dragon cup that could be purchased along with the drink.

We had a family style dinner & enjoyed several starters & dim sum plates, including steamed barbecue pork bao buns, tuna poke, Kobe beef dumpling, & pork soup dumplings.
The Char Sui Bao were made with steamed barbecue pork bao bun, oyster sauce, scallion, daikon sprouts, furikake seasoning, & sambal hoisin. The buns were nice & fluffy.

The Tuna Poke was light & fresh.

The Kobe Beef Dumplings were made with ground Kobe beef, crispy onions, scallion, furikake seasoning, & miso Mongolian sauce. The Kobe beef made for savory bites.

The Pork Xiao Long Bao was made with pork soup dumplings, sweet black vinegar, & chili oil (I loved these).

For entrees we had the Short Rib Spicy Noodle which was so good. The Short Rib Spicy Noodle was made with lup cheong (Chinese sausage), garlic, ginger, scallion, baby boy-choy, tri-color peppers, fresno chili, Thai basil, pistachio, sambal hoisin, cilantro, daikon sprouts, miso Mongolian sauce. The short rib was so tender & juicy and fell apart the minute we tried to pick it up. This dish had a spicy kick to.

For dessert we had Crème Brûlée Cheesecake & a Deconstructed Key Lime Pie. My favorite was the Key Lime Pie.
