rating: 5 out of 5 (at happy hour only)!! price: $2.50 each, but only $1.50 each at happy hour!
these were, by far, the most unique delicious sliders sampled to date. unfortunately, however, only one nacho girlfriend had the opportunity to savor these savory little treats, because only one nacho girlfriend is insane enough to cross-country ski from mission ridge to blewett pass. and of course, nothing inspires a return to solid foods like cross-country skiing 30k in a snow storm. thankfully sliders were waiting at leavenworth's new swanky pan-asian bistro and lounge! at first it may seem strange to go to leavenworth and find yourself choosing between sushi and pho, but when you have suffered the bavarian naughty potty that excessive bratwurst and beer consumption at oktoberfest will induce - it's a great alternative! in fact, this nacho girlfriend will never go near bratwurst again, so it's a good damn thing dragonfly came to town! it's also a good damn thing they have fantastic sliders - because everything else on the menu was overpriced and . . .well . . . average.
the menu describes the sliders as: "seared kobe burger, dragonfly sauce, sweet salad, pickled cucumber, crispy shallots." it may seem like a strange combination, but it was absolutely amazing to bite into . . . then again after skiing 30k in a snow storm mcdonalds would have been amazing to bite into . . .seriously though, these sliders managed to incorporate a little of every taste sensation. the beef was perfectly seasoned, a little charred on the edges, and pink in the middle - done to perfection! the crispy shallots added a savory touch and a unique texture. the sweet salad and pickled cucumber (no it wasn't just a pickle) brought in more unique textures and a sweet background to the mix. the dragonfly sauce finished it off with spicy kick. not just leavenworth locals will enjoy these - even mini-burger/nacho connoisseurs will appreciate all these sliders have to offer!
yay!: um . . .everything? as long as you love things that are sweet, savory, and spicy all in one! hell yes!! happy hour is in the bar from 4-6 PM and 10-midnight daily.
boo!: um . . . nothing? okay okay . . . when it isn't happy hour they are a bit too much money.
recommend: when you are in washington's own bavarian village and have sworn off bratwurst for life - eat dragonfly's kobe beef sliders! it's also recommended that you skip the rest of their offerings and just eat sliders, trust me, they are the best thing on the menu. everything else you can get for half the price a strip mall in kirkland.
