There is always a question in my mind, \"Where should I take Steven for 'surprise Saturday'?\" After asking various friends, I decided to take him out for dessert at Red, White, & Brew. \n\nSteven ended up being busy on Saturday, so we went on Friday night around 9:45 pm. Awesome live music played while we waited, and throughout the meal. I never thought I would enjoy a cover band so much. Contrary to some of the other reviews, the late night wait staff was prompt and held an overall enjoyable demeanor. Unfortunately for those of you who want a review of the alcohol status, I am not old enough to drink. Therefore, this review is strictly for the food and services provided by R,W&B. \n\nBefore dessert, (although we weren't too hungry for anything else) we ordered the complimentary bread. I wasn't surprised that it was cold because it was nearing the end of dining hours. But come on, they could at least nuke it to appease us, right? \n\nAfter perusing the somewhat limited dessert selection, we chose the Apple Dumpling a la mode. (Who doesn't eat ice cream with dessert?) This dish is cooked when its ordered, so the wait staff informed me there would be a fifteen to twenty minute wait. I had no problem because at least he warned me, unlike other establishments I've been to where you feel forgotten. \n\nAh, at last the Apple Dumpling arrived. It was a beautiful dessert. At first, the aroma of cinnamon tickled my nose, and the scent of warm apples overtook my senses. Hot, sweet dough envelopes an entire soft, cinnamon apple; while the whole dessert is drizzled with caramel. Presentation was taken to an art from in this dish. This dessert took me back in time to when my grandmother used to make apple pie from scratch. All of this occurred and I hadn't even taken a bite! \n\nWe demolished this revamped apple pie dish in record time. Each bite persuaded us to take the next. The texture was soft and creamy thanks to the vanilla bean ice cream, and the dumpling itself was piping hot. Delving into an Apple Dumpling was the perfect end to a stressful day. All of the elements blended together to create a new take on a an old favorite and I only paid five bucks for it! \n\nI will definitely return to Red, White & Blue during the late evening shifts, and I urge others to do so as well. The night staff seems to be older and more experienced, I was pleasantly surprised by the service. \n\nFour stars for an amazing experience and a delightful dessert!\n\nYou lose one star for cold and crappy bread, if its free it should at least be a little bit tasty....
