Restaurant: Ritual, Main Street
As it appears in the menu: Eggplant stack, stuffed with seasoned beef and béchamel cream sauce.
The Facts: Three layers of meat (ground beef) and lightly fried eggplant. The dish was topped in a light potato crust.
Foodie’s Review: The presentation was flt (not stacked as indicated in the menu) and boring as it also lacked a garnish. With that said, the first bite was flavorful and delicious. The meat was seasoned well and the eggplant was lightly fried and tasted of hints of lemon and olive oil. The dish was reminiscent of Shepherds pie. Overally, a good dish, but could have been improved upon in appearance and being accompanied by a side.
