Tiny Boxwood's - Dinner

Tiny Boxwood is one of those spots where it's hidden but it's not. People know it's there and if you want to be cool and hip like the shi-shi crowd, good luck getting in. The key is that you go before the true dinner crowd, which is before 7pm.

If you don't know where it is located, that's what I meant by it is hidden but it's not. It's on Alabama and Saint Street which is near Edloe. It is hidden inside Thompson & Hanson. It slowly became the hidden spot for the River Oaks young crowd.

Their menu is in always rotation, but there are things that they do well and keep. Their picnic cheese plate has been there and it's always great picks. I ended up with the Black & Blue (see above) which was Buffalo Filet and Blue Cheese Risotto.

The meat was a tad dry, but the blue cheese risotto played up the taste. I can totally eat the entire plate of risotto all by itself. I think some people might find that pungent but it's just perfect and it's a perfect match with the filet.

The other thing they're good at is their drinks. Whether it's a summer sangria or a nice cup of coffee after dinner. The guys here got it down and perfected it well. Stop in and ask them to make anything, they still make it well. I ended up with a caramel latte (above) and it was just a perfect balance from all taste point of view.
