First Impressions: Blue Prynt


So looking for a quick lunch (this is a great lunch spot) I decided to try a local new hotspot still trying to overcome it's location: Blue Prynt. This location, previously Sophia's, is a hard sell after 6PM and the streets roll up at night. It's not on the main through-fair (i.e. J & L Streets) so just a little of the beaten path can pose a problem, with this caveat: If the food is good, they will come!

There's some interesting new items on Chef Lockard's newest menu and as this was only an initial visit, my first conclusion is that: it bears repeating. I want to see more of what they can do. I had the...
Filet Mignon Sandwich - grilled beef tenderloin with horseradish havarti, sautéed button mushrooms green leaf lettuce, sliced tomato aioli all served on house made rosemary garlic bread (10.99) 
the taste was interesting, although it was Filet Mignon, somehow the garlic steak at Jamie's was more tender? I would recommend smaller cuts so it wasn't so toothsome? the mushrooms were great, and although I loved the flavor of the rosemary garlic bread it was a bit overpowering on this sando

and my sister had the,  

Mushroom Panini - royal trumpet, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms from Dragon Gourmet Mushrooms sautéed with whole roasted garlic, tomatoes and gruyere cheese served with a tarragon aioli on a soft Bennett’s Bakery hoagie bun (8.99)
  so where the other sandwich was a miss, this one hit it out of the park! the mushrooms were outstanding!!!! buttery, succulent, and savory all at the same time, I ate half her sandwich and she wasn't pleased as it was quite to her liking as well, the hogie was a perfect amount of bread and the Gruyere gave a great sharpness to a luscious meal - plus LOVED the tarragon aioli


Something on my to-be-tried list: 
This is supposed to be quite a presentation dish, so it's on my must try list, but if the mushrooms are anywhere NEAR as good as they were on the panini it should be exceptional  
Mushroom Basket - a mix of sautéed Dragon Gourmet Mushrooms on a bed of house made rosemary garlic bread topped with creamy goat cheese and wrapped in a cumin dusted phyllo dough (9.99)
