Supermarket - recommendations

Finally heading to Supermarket on Augusta for dinner tomorrow after hearing good things about it. Anyone offer any recommendations? Thanks

    I was there for dinner with my volleyball team in December. My SO and I shared the grilled Jamaican spiced jerk pork (which was fantastic), braised oxtail & veal shank with lemongrass topped with thai basil (quite tasty) and grilled chimichurri calamari (good).There was 20 of us so they seated us in the front section. It felt like we had a private room to ourselves. Our waitress was great, the busboy not so much. We would definitely go back.

      Went around 4 months ago and 2 months ago - the first time was excellent service where the second time there was a little more waiting than I would've liked but otherwise they were pleasant enough.

      I remember the pad thai being good - only because it's done so often in the city and Supermarket has a very good take on it...

        Never eaten there, but been twice (for drinks) and will never go back.

        It was horribly loud, and both times we were served by rude, surly waiters. No thanks.

          The "crispy fillet of sole pieces wok-fried with a sweet & sour jalepino sauce" is the best thing on the menu. The deep-fried soba noodle garnish is a bit unnecessary but the fish is amazing.

          The "grilled chimichurri calamari ~ grilled calamari with fresh herbs & olive oil" is also outstanding.

          Overall, the food is really good. Go at 9 to 9:15, have dinner and stay for the band. Fun night.
