When we first came to recess we sat at the bar and we met Dorsey who was the bartender. Who turned us into regulars quickly. Her balance of checking in and giving space while throwing quips is something that has been lost in nearly every restaurant I attend. The art of service is something that is alive and well in Recess. So now my wife and I have been go to Recess every Monday for the last 2-3 years. It is just our spot at this point and it’s hard to remember a time before...
Food was insane and service was amazing. Went for lunch. Pretty good for the price.
Below ratings for my future self:
Charred broccoli: 7.5 (8+ with a lil salt)
Meatloaf: 9.5/10 (best meatloaf so far, well balanced, not salty just need the tiniest bit of moisture but the sauces add that)

I stopped by twice in one day — that’s how intriguing this spot was. The first visit, I was drawn in by an appetizer I just had to try: peanut butter and jelly pork belly. Unusual? Absolutely. But it was fabulous — bold, unexpected, and delicious.
After walking through the rest of town, I found myself right back for a second round. This time, it was their creative take on shrimp and grits. Another hit — inventive and full of flavor.
