The seemingly doomed space that was recently home to Marigold and then Bull Horns Taco Bar may have finally found its sweet spot. Well-executed Indian food didn’t take off there; neither did weird faux Mexican food. But there’s always a place for comfort food, especially when it’s done well—and that’s exactly what Summerdale is offering.
An appetizer of buffalo wings is another solid classic; good-sized wings are served in a tangy, decently spicy sauce with blue cheese dip (a few more napkins would be welcome, though). But broccoli croquettes were bland, light on broccoli and heavy on filler. The cheesy sauce helped to redeem them, but next time I’d go with the more neighborhood-appropriate meatballs in Swedish gravy instead. (This is a menu for meat-eaters, with few vegetarian options.)
