I've passed this place by a million times while shopping and running errands and each time I've given it a cursory glance and said "maybe some day". Well, "someday" finally came and it couldn't have come soon enough.
Now, I'm always a little weary about dining out of a restaurant located within a mall or outlet complex. I've had some bad experiances, but we decided to give this one a try anyway and I'm so glad we did!
Service was good - of course! The ambiance was very nice - dim enough to be romantic but not so dim you couldn't get a good picture.
But oh my, the food! We started with devilled eggs that were so good we just wished the appetizer was a little bigger. We settled on some spiced apple cider that was amazing - I wish I could have it everyday because it was just perfect! I had salmon that surpassed my expectations - I tend to be picky with seafood and have low hopes from any non-seafood place that has it. However, the salmon here was excellently cooked, though the fries were just okay. For dessert I had a favorite of mine that can be tough to find - key lime pie. It was by far the best part of the night. They got the flavors and textures just right. Why don't they sell these things whole? I'd happily keep buying them because a fresh made key lime pie done right is hard to come by.
Overall, I left with a lighter wallet, but a heavier stomach and a renewed faith in mall-adjacent restaurants. Give this place a whirl, as they are worth every penny.
