| - This has got to be one of the better winterlicious experiences I've had thus far. I've been attending different winterlicious events for over 6 years now, and this makes the top 3.
First of all, the decor is beautiful and modern. It's casual enough that you can head there for a drink or dinner after work, but it's in no way shabby at all. The couches have pillows, and the place is well-lit, so the atmosphere is definitely there.
As for the service, it was impeccable. Our server was super friendly, and we were greeted by several of the staff. They constantly checked up on our table and made sure that we had a pleasant meal experience.
Finally, it's time to talk about the food! It was a 3-course meal for $38 before tax and tips. As an appetizer, I chose the crab cakes, which were well-seasoned with a salad and sauce. The main course was the pan seared cod with a bed of bean stew (several different types of beans). I chose the churros with chocolate sauce for dessert. The crab cakes were tasty, and a nice introduction to my meal. The cod wasn't overcooked, so it was tender but seared well on the skin side. The beans were very good and it reminded me of this bean stew my mom made in Peru as a kid. The churros were on the slightly lighter side than what I'm used to. They weren't as chewy as the churros I've had (and I've tried many), but they were a perfect finish to the meal; the light dough was pleasant and the chocolate sauce went well with the churros. Also, the portions were very decently sized. My friends and I were quite full by the end our meals.
I will be coming back for the regular menu. It was well worth the price and a visit. Highly recommended!! I actually wanted to come here for my birthday brunch...but I've heard about the hour long waits.
