Wilde Rover Kirkland Roast Beef Dip Expert Review 2/21/18



















Context/Setting the Stage

I was out to lunch with some coworkers (including some I'd never met before) and we found ourselves at the Wilde Rover, a nice Irish place in downtown Kirkland.  It's a big facility and quite fun with delicious food.  They used to have a Turkey dip, I believe, that I reviewed, and they'd updated their menu to include what turned out to be a really good (great!!) French dip.  Woo hoo.  I got to surprise and amaze my coworkers with my "art" that is my French dip reviewing and also enjoy a delicious sandwich and meal of food.  Enjoy!

Raw Tasting Notes

Some chewy beef but I love it
Happy I had the aioli on the side, good herbs
Overall really chewy but great 5 all around
Looks great
Sandwich great 5
Onions great
Chewy dark heavily Toasted bread
Dark, rich very flavorful, herby jus a bit luke
Great bread, grill marks
Cheese great
Not one bad thing to say
Salad very good, nice lettuce, fancy julienned, nice vinaigrette, good cherry tomatoes, croutons, candied walnuts

Summary

Jus 5 rich, herby, delicious (could have been hotter but that's easy to solve)
Bread 5 nicely toasted (dark), chewy, great, buttered, with cheese yum
Meat 4 of 5 chewy, well done but great / loved it
Non-Meat Toppings 5 of 5 cheese was really good and the caramelized onions really stood out and were delicious
Overall 5 of 5 nice plating and presentation, great bread, rich jus, nice toppings yummers
