| - Just like da bears, this place stands out for da win. Atrias, the former occupant, used to be my goto for dates when I was around 18. After they left, I had heard this place was overpriced and not worth the effort, boy was I wrong!
I came here for a lunch on a Sunday, they were not very busy as at all, few guests rolling in. We were greeted immediately and given our choice of seating, we chose a booth and sat down to look at the menus. Our waiter can a moment later, pleasant and friendly ready to get our drinks and made some recommendations. We decided on a bowl of crab bisque to start, I got the prime rib sandwhich and my companion got a salmon salad.
My first thought as I took a bit of my bisque, which arrived in minutes, very hot, is I immediately regretted not getting the larger portion. My usual main complaint about bisque is it's too thick like a paste or too runny like a broth. This was rich, creamy and seasoned to perfection, and some of the freshest crab I've had in the burgh. The second I put my spoon down and pushed my bowl to the end of the table, the waiter was on the way with our entrees.
My prime sandwich was perfect and I could see why it was such a popular item, mouthwatering, I'd highly recommend this. As for the salmon salad, I have never tasted a salmon so crispy and full of flavor in my life, I'm not sure if this was flash fried or fully fried, but wow, just wow. Our only complaint was all the salad was drenched in dressing, a good one, but a little much, made it a very unhealthy salad.
Overall, amazing lunch, food was great and service did it justice. I will be back for dinner soon!
