| - I loved loved loved the decor. I felt like I was in a plush bedroom. Some of you may think that's strange for a dining establishment, but I found it comfortable. The whites, light blues, silvers and mauves just felt comforting to me like a fluffy made bed waiting for me to jump in.
Anyway...we ordered off the restaurant week menu. They also had a wine menu with at least a dozen different bottles for $30. What a great idea. Too bad I just wasn't in the mood to drink. I know my bf was shocked too. And no, I'm not pregnant.
First came the cheddar and bacon bread with a sour cream and chive butter. WOW. They also had a slice of a Parmesan bread, but it didn't compare to the loaded baked potato bread. I wanted more, more, more. But of course we hadn't even gotten to our appetizers yet. We had the crispy shrimp and corn and bacon chowder for our appetizers. The chowder smelled fantastic, but I didn't try it since the texture of corn freaks me out. The crispy shrimp was pretty good. Lots of shrimp. This app comes in a small bowl, but looks are deceiving. It contains a lot of shrimp. It's enough to feed 2. The sweet chili aioli was the prefect compliment.
We both ordered the filets for dinner. Medium rare is the way to go. It was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. The roasted mushroom and bordelaise were also great compliments to the steak.
Lastly for dessert, I had the peanut butter cup (which is pretty rich and is really enough for two) and Mike had the flourless chocolate cake, which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and was over what looked like a chocolate rice crispy treat. The crispy treat apparently had nuts (not sure what kind), and there wasn't a warning on the menu, but they quickly gave us another plate without it.
Our waiter Eric was great. Had great wine recommendations and just a great personality. Water glasses were never more than half empty. Liked the vibe, food, and service. Will have to come back and try a burger (they looked huge!) and their happy hour menu looks pretty appetizing too.
