Jibarra has definitely opened the Triangle's eyes to great sophisticated Mexican cuisine. Unfortunately, it is also at a price that is a bit out of reach for a non-special location. We were searching for unique brunch places, when we saw the ad for the
Sedona Grill. Searching the address reveals that it repaced the Hudson Oyster Bar & Grille - a place with great potential, but never quite living up to it. With that in mind, the menu looked interesting... at least interesting enough to give it a try.
The interior had been remodeled into tastefully separated bar and dining area. Multiple options on the brunch and lunch menu were rather interesting - our mouths watered at the Tejas Tango (Honey-Pine Nut Cream Cheese Stuffed Artisan Bread, Grand Marnier Custard) and the Huevos Caballeros (Chorizo & Potato Enchiladas topped with Colorado Sauce, Jack Cheese and Fried Eggs). We also had a bowl of the corn and shrimp chowder - a huge bowl with a slight spice.
The Tejas Tango was a delightful brunch dish - with a complex blend of flavors, and just enough sweetness from the whipped cream. The Huevos Caballeros was a solid meal; both were large enough in portions to probably be shared. A sweet potato and potato hash rounded out both dishes. The flavors were complex - not the simplified flavors of many Mexican type restaurants. Definitely a nice enough place to really enjoy a great set of complex Tex-Mex flavors.
With such an inspired brunch menu, we look forward to trying out the dinner menu and desserts soon!
