Delux, you did us wrong, but you saved it in the end

I went back, again, to Delux (in the South End, Boston, Chandler St). This time, the food was more of a miss than I hit. I got the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with a side of potato salad. My friend ordered the chicken special - boneless chicken breast with rosemary and other spices over saffron rice and beans. We shared and both had the same opinion. The potato salad was quite delicious, but the pulled pork was pretty dry. I've had much better. The chicken was delicious, but the rice was undercooked and quite crunchy. It was a shame. We ended up telling the waitress and she was very apologetic. She brought us the dessert special, on the house, which was really nice and totally appropriate. It was really good: marble cheesecake with buttescotch and chocolate and pecans on top, and a dollop of whipped cream. The perfect size slice to share.

We decided that we love the atmosphere and the beer is great (Tremont Ale on tap), and prices are right, but maybe we'll stick to the grilled cheese on future visits. I think I'd like to try the quesadillas sometime too.
