Sunday Funday at Sundown at the Granada

Sundown at the Granada had been on our Foodie Adventure list for a while and when a concert yielded a great opportunity to check it out, we couldn't resist! We got a cool table in a dark part of the restaurant and were greeted by a really friendly waitress. We were ready for Sunday Funday to begin! Upon perusing the drink menu, we were very excited to see that Sundown has Ginger Beer. Moscow Mules all around! 

After ordering our drinks, we started with the Stuffed Avocados because we had all heard how great they are. It comes with 3 stuffed avocado halves - an Italian one with sun-dried tomatoes, toasted almonds, basil, and shaved Parmesan; a Southwestern one with tomato, feta, black bean, sweet corn, hemp-seed, and agave; and a Waldorf one with grilled chicken, candied pecans, and blueberries. It also comes with little baby endive leaves so you can make tiny lettuce wraps with the different avocado stuffings. It's really fun and different - not to mention delicious! We all agreed that the Italian one was our favorite, but they were all good.

For our meals, our waitress recommended the flatbreads and a few other things, so we decided to take her up on her recommendations. Haley went with the The Hammered Goat flatbread. It came with drunken mushrooms, chevre, local honey, and white truffle oil. It was awesome...and huge! These flatbreads are enormous. You could definitely use these as an appetizer for a small group. 

I went with the Hail Caesar flatbread which came with sun-dried tomatoes, kale, shaved Parmesan  and lemon zest. I also added grilled chicken and got it on a gluten free crust. It was really interesting. I loved the kale and sun-dried tomatoes. The Caesar dressing was really overpowering, though. It was one of the few times I could actually taste the anchovy in the dressing which made it kind of fishy tasting. The GF crust was ok - not one of the best I've had but it's great that they have so many options for dietary restrictions.

Haley's boyfriend ordered the Surf and Turf which came with 10 oz. grass-fed sirloin, gulf shrimp, kale, and  sweet potato fries. The steak was super tender and flavorful and the shrimp were pretty good. Michael also really enjoyed the kale. But the most important thing...the sweet potato fries were awesome! Some of the best sweet potato fries we've had. Definitely order these!

We had a great time at Sundown and can't wait to go back for the newly formed brunch menu! It's not just a great place for a pre-show bite, it's really a great Dallas foodie destination. Be sure and check it out and let us know what you think!
