It was the night of the Lost Finale, so we were all looking for a quick place to eat in the neighborhood. Our original idea was to go to Feast for some summer time salads, but by the time we finished the previews, it was 9:15pm on Sunday. So in the essence of time, we just back tracked down the street and ended up at Silver Cloud. On first glance, it seemed more like a bar than a place to eat. But they did have a decent slightly more higher level food menu. I got the blackened tuna burger ($7.95) which came with TATER TOTS! I haven't had tater tots since elementary school and it was such a nice addition. I don't know why other places don't offer it more. I had asked for my sandwich to be very rare and they did a great job of making it as rare as possible. The sandwich was pretty tasty but I could have done without the "cole slaw" that came on top of it. It had zucchini in it which was different but it didn't really add any value. In fact, the waitress had mentioned that the cole slaw was a bit oily. It didn't have any mayo in it, which I thought was weird. Dan got the brie burger which was basically a burger with TONS of brie melted on it. It looked quite tasty. Deanna and Aarti both got the grilled cheese and Erin got the Stuffed Turkey sandwich(which was basically Thanksgiving day in between 2 pieces of bread).
While the food was basic but generally good, the execution turned out to be a bit off. Erin had asked for her tater tots to be extra crispy and hers turned out to be soggier than any of everyone else's tots. Then Dan had asked for cole slaw as a side but got tater tots instead and when the bill came they had overcharged us on the grilled cheese. BUT they totally redeemed themselves when the waitress came and gave us the "friends and family" discount b/c of the charge error (which was only $.50, but thanks to Deanna for hooking us up!). The discount was pretty substantial...I think it was around 20-25%. Total bill came out to be $47 instead of $61, so that was really nice of them.
