| - Judge a book by it's cover? Not here!
Don't be fooled by the non-exciting signage outside or the plain "diner" interior! This place was recommended by foodie & yelp elitist Natalie T., so I was prepared to be wowed by the food & service & atmosphere!
If it were not for the girls & I passing this way to attend another event down the street, I would not have discovered this delectable eatery!
SERVICE
We arrived when it was still bright and sunny out (5:45pm), so it was easy to snag a seat. It was very thoughtful of the host-slash-waiter to give us the option of sitting where ever we pleased! Love having options! Secretly, seating is VERY important to me. I like - no I NEED - to sit where I can see the full view of the space!
It is evident at the start that the staff here are exceptionally friendly and very inviting! However, while the taking of our order was prompt, the delivery was veeeeery s-l-o-w! The appetizers was a decent wait, but we probably waited 45 minutes for our entrees! I'm guessing they didn't want us to feel rushed, as the staff did approach our table often or looked our way to ensure we were in good hands.
EAT THIS
CRABCAKES $10
-soft meaty crabcakes with a creamy sauce and a nice surprise "kick"! YUM! Tip: dip the soft freshly baked bread into the sauce! DIVINE!
DUCK CONFEIT $20
-juicy lean duck drumsticks with creamy heavenly whipped potato and crunchy green beans and white carrots! DELISH! And oh-so-filling!
AMBIANCE
Although, I wasn't immediately smitten by the interior, as soon as the lights went low, and the candles were lit, the space magically transformed to a whole other setting! Cozy, intimate, and romantic! TIP: Not good for large groups. Come early or risk waiting! Bar seating on your right, and booth seating for groups of 4 on your left. Great place to get chummy with your date, or for small group shenanigans!
PRICE
Affordable! Everything on the menu was less than $25 - average entree $20.
Great prices for downtown dinner!
We were all first timers for DINNER, and now fellow fans! But apparently BRUNCH here is all the rave! So BOOKMARK it! ...
