10 Twenty Five

10 Twenty Five - Craft beer, wine, and good eats are the specialties of Cape Coral's latest gastropub!

They are located in the little shopping plaza on the corner of Santa Barbara Blvd and Nicholas Pkwy in the former location of The Pickled Parrot, at 1025 Santa Barbara, hence the name of the restaurant.

A revamping of the dining and bar area has changed the decor from tropical tiki hut to warm and cozy, yet sleek and modern.

Sit at tables, high tops, or at the bar. The 10 Twenty Five menu mixes casual with quality, artistry with comfort, contemporary with old favorites.

I wasn't planning on getting any appetizers, but when I saw the Avocado and Bacon Deviled Eggs ..... I could help myself, I had to get them. Mmmmmm, scrumptious!

For dinner, The Crack Burger sounded amazing and different from any other burger I've had before. It's a 1/2 lb Kobe beef topped with pulled pork, a fried egg, and mac and cheese served on a potato roll ...... what??

It was soooooooooo good and quite large, but no problem ....... I was able to enjoy it again for lunch the next day. I also got a side of green beans to go with my burger, they were good too.

Make sure you ask for a portion of their BBQ sauce to go with it ........ the perfect accompaniment for a perfect burger!

Next time, I want to try their All Dre Burger ..... it's topped with layers of house cheese whiz, fried egg, bacon, and fried onions.

For dessert, I was going to get the cheesecake but our server suggested the Apple Crisp. Good thing, because it was more like a galette ..... apple filling piled high onto a round of pie pastry that's folded over around the edges and topped with ice cream ...... I really loved it.

Our servers, including the owner, were very attentive, making sure we were were satisfied with our selections and offering up suggestions to make our dining experience better.

Also on the menu are yummy-sounding appetizers, sandwiches, salads, soups, several burgers ...... including a build-your-own burger, and signature entrees.

A kid's menu rounds out their list of selections ........ this is a nice place to take the family, it also works for a night out with friends, or a cozy dinner for 2.
