Delicia

While my wife and I only stopped in for a drink and dessert to scope out the place; we were very pleased.  We sat in the bar area at a high top table, and received our menus.  First big plus: the prices for the cocktails are listed!  I had the Mojito, and my wife had a Pisco Sour.  The mojito was not my taste, as it was too sugary without enough mint or lime, however everyone has different preferences.  Her Pisco Sour was very good.

We had the Plantain Bake for dessert.  It was tasty with walnuts, raisins, and sweet, fried plantains.  Unique and good.  It has a 'Nilla Wafer type crumble on top, but it is not covered in butter, so the dish (feels) surprising light.

As a nearby resident you can feel pride in the area as you sit inside a great new spot, looking across the street at a recently refreshed old favorite. (as long as you forget the earlier neighborhood infighting that delayed the opening of Delica for so long).

The newest restaurant in the Meridian Kessler/SoBro area, definitely does't not fail to meet the expectations set forth three years ago when the planning started.
