| - Celebrating my 27th. wedding Anniversary here this past Saturday, I was very excited to dine here based on votes, reviews and awards. Off the bat, the VIEWS are SPECTACULAR!!!
Reservations were at 7:00 p.m. Saturday. The restaurant was a little hard to find, but once we found it, there was a sign "valet parking ONLY." As we walked up the stairs there was clearly a wedding going on and that is why I suppose "Valet Parking ONLY". While the view was spectacular the restaurant was an outdated "older" clientele restaurant. Our server Lenny was very good, the table we had was on the 2nd tier with a view. We ordered Lobster Bisque with (Lemon Zest Crème), the Rosemary Scented Duck Confit Raviolis with (Creamed Corn, Piquillo Pepper Pesto, English Pea Puree, Grated Ricotta Salata, Sautéed Rapini) and the Seared Aleppo Chili Crusted Pork Tenderloin with (Crispy Honey Sweet White Corn Polenta, Baby Summer Squash, Black Bean Parmesan Puree, Jalapeño Honey Glaze).
The Lobster Bisque was good. The Raviolis were so salty I had to send back. The pork was was also salty but not overwhelming and by the time I got my new Raviolis my dining partner was 3/4 finished, so I ate one and took the rest home. Do I think this is a 5 star restaurant? Sorry No.
... And to top it off when we went to pick up our car at the "Valet ONLY" because of a wedding, my dining partner tipped the guy when he delivered the car. Obviously the valet guy was not happy with the tip and muttered under his breath so it could be heard.
View SPECTACULAR, service very good, food OK, and valet obnoxious
