Sauce – 02-20-2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

This month the Nightwire crew headed out to Bridgeville where we found Sauce, a cute bar\/restaurant where the food is not Italian, as the name may suggest but very American with a twist.\u00a0 They do however have plenty of sauces available to compliment everything on the menu.\u00a0 Upon entering this establishment, you will\u00a0 immediately be greeted by the friendly staff and notice the long bar in front of you, to the left are intimate semicircular booths.\u00a0 In the back, past the kitchen you will find another dining area to accommodate customer overflow. Sauce reminded us of an old fashion diner blended together with an upscale urban bistro, which creates a unique and very interesting look and feel.\u00a0 To me a nice long bar usually signifies a great drinking establishment and Sauce is no exception.\u00a0 They have super fun drinks, micro-brews as well as nice Happy Hour specials.\u00a0 I\u2019ll tell you more about that later\u2026<\/p>\n

According to some locals Sauce is such a popular spot that at lunch time the place is packed!\u00a0 At the mere mention of the place, I got some really good feedback from someone who said it\u2019s their favorite, and another friend chimed in to say that his dad (who lives in Bridgeville) loves it there.\u00a0\u00a0 So let me get to the food.\u00a0 We started with appetizers \u2013 \u201cFirst Stops\u201d- Not Your Typical Nachos & Buffalo Chicken Dip.\u00a0 The nachos were piled high and topped with a melted cheese sauce, jalapenos, and salsa.\u00a0 They are definitely big enough to share.\u00a0 The Buffalo Chicken Dip was very creamy, saucy & spicy, a perfect accompaniment with a nice beer.\u00a0 We had Magic Hat a micro brew.\u00a0 Sauce has a great selection of beers and specialty drinks.\u00a0 Some of the drinks that we tried were a Pom-A-Politan, a Shirley Temple All Grown Up and a Grape Fusion.<\/p>\n

Sauce makes what they call \u201cSoda Jerk\u201d Drinks that are very fun as well as refreshing.\u00a0 My favorite was the Shirley Temple All Grown Up!\u00a0 And the Grape Fusion tasted just like a grape popsicle.<\/p>\n

Our excellent server Paulette began bringing amazing dishes starting with the Steak Wedgy Salad.\u00a0 Sauce makes their Steak Salad with Filet Mignon so you can see why it\u2019s a favorite of the local clientele.\u00a0 Their fresh wedgey salad is served in a warm tortilla bowl topped with onion, bacon, eggs, tomato and filet mignon served with your choice of dressings.\u00a0 We sampled another favorite- the Skillet Burger served without a bun and in tribute to the famous Strip District restaurant they put homemade cole slaw on top.\u00a0 The sizzling hot skillet makes this burger so delicious.\u00a0 Next, the skillet Macaroni and Cheese \u00a0we were served was scrumptiously delicious that we actually couldn\u2019t pick a favorite. \u00a0Our host, General Manager, Vicki Morabito, joking called it \u201cMac & Crack\u201d because its so addicting and the best macaroni and cheese we\u2019ve ever tried.\u00a0 I\u2019ll let you decide \u2013 it\u2019s a must try!\u00a0 Dave Donatelli, Sauce\u2019s resident Chef came out to greet us and told us to save room for some signature desserts but we weren\u2019t quite through sampling Sauce\u2019s dishes.\u00a0 Next we tried their twist on a good old Ham & Cheese- Sauce serves it in a skillet on a pretzel bun.\u00a0 Our dining mate Tim loves a ham & cheese and orders it almost any time it\u2019s offered at any restaurant he happens to find himself.\u00a0 To say that he is a Ham & Cheese aficionado is an understatement.\u00a0 He absolutely loved the Black Forrest ham and was happy to take the remainder of this sandwich home with him!\u00a0 One last entr\u00e9e sent to us by Chef Dave was the Shrimp Skewer served over rice.\u00a0 This was sauced with a bourbon glaze that Paulette suggested we try on the Sweet Potato Fries that accompanied our burger.\u00a0 We were reaching our limit and becoming quite full when just as promised, the desserts arrived- a delicious Berry Cobbler served warm in a skillet, topped with ice cream.\u00a0 There\u2019s also a joke about getting blue teeth because the berries are so plentiful.\u00a0 Believe me- it\u2019s worth the blue teeth!\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t think of anything better and then Chef Dave brought us a Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce.\u00a0 It looked so beautiful and tasted sinfully delicious.\u00a0 What could be better than warm cookies & ice cream?\u00a0 At this point I wanted to kill him because we were so full and this was sooo good!\u00a0 What a treat!\u00a0 Thanks Chef Dave!<\/p>\n

Entrepreneur and Owner Clint Pohl has certainly created another award winning restaurant with Sauce!<\/p>\n

Sauce is a short drive from the City, easily accessed by Rt. 79 & it\u2019s definitely worth the drive!\u00a0 In March they will be celebrating their 2 year anniversary and as restaurants go- this one will be around for a long time.\u00a0 They really do it right with simple atmosphere, great staff (ask for Paulette, she\u2019s been here from the beginning with a winning personality and an enthusiasm that\u2019s hard to find!), reasonably priced, great food and fun desserts!<\/p>\n

Sauce is open daily for lunch & dinner.\u00a0 On Saturdays & Sundays breakfast is served from 8am till noon.\u00a0 Happy Hour Monday through Friday offers \u00bd price appetizers at the bar and \u00bd price appetizers form 10pm till Midnight. \u00a0Wine is offered by the glass and you\u2019ll find specialty drinks to meet every taste.\u00a0 Our experience was welcoming, warm and wonderful and the food was simply delicious.\u00a0 Tim is looking forward to lunch there as his job will take him through Bridgeville soon and we\u2019ll all return with friends to have a burger or salad.\u00a0 As always\u2026\u2026don\u2019t forget to tell them your friends at Nightwire sent you!<\/p>\n
