Entering Flying Rhino I got the feeling of a fun upbeat atmosphere. I was greeted promptly by a friendly server who immediately made me feel welcome. My husband and I headed to our table and joined our friends. Our server was right behind us as we sat and was quick to inquire if we wished a beverage to start our night off.
We started with the lettuce wraps for an appetizer. My husband and I splitting them. They came with coarsely chopped chicken, shredded red cabbage and thinly shredded carrots. Two dipping sauces accompanied the dish. A peanut sauce and a soy based sauce. Both were very good. The lettuce provided was a soft “bib” lettuce and did well for wrapping the items. It was a little messy to eat but I found it very refreshing and an excellent start to my meal.
I ordered the “Grill special.” The meal started off with a side kale salad, I almost didn’t order it. Kale to me is very rough and course and quite honestly doesn’t appeal to my sense of taste. I’m very glad I took a chance. This small side salad had finely chopped kale, a touch of goat cheese and slivered carrots all tossed in a tasty dressing that moistened it just perfectly. I completely enjoyed my kale salad and would recommend it to those who wish to try something a little bit out of the ordinary. My main course came next with grilled chicken and asparagus in a light cream pesto sauce over pasta. It was very rich and flavorful. The chicken was grilled to perfection and although I found my pasta to be a tad overcooked I thought my meal was very good.
I would go back and I would recommend this to my friends. There is something for everyone here. -RL
