Mozzarella stick report
Thanks, guys. I was fine with the attire I was wearing.
Since sfer showed an interest, I went ahead and order the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer (along with the stuffed mushroom caps). They actually weren't sticks, per se; rather, they were large, triangular wedges, about an inch thick and maybe two inches on a side.
They were certainly tasty, but not very different than your standard mozz sticks. They were a bit less greasy, and therefore lacked the aftertaste that you get with most sticks (and other fried appetizers) at cheaper restaurants that probably don't change their frying oil as much as we'd like. That alone probably made them the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had, but it's by a pretty small margin.
The dipping sauce was a touch unique; rather than a marinara paste, it was halved cherry tomatoes and basil, sauteed together. It was good, although it's hard to get a cherry tomato to stay on top of a mozzarella stick.
