| - This restaurant was on my list of must-tries for a while, and was I right or what! My friend and I visited late on a Saturday. We got the fried gnocchi for an app, which was a great app size but of course I wished it was bigger. The gnocchi was just the right texture (some people kill that stuff). They also provided toasted pita chips in leu of the bread or chips. Yum. My friend got the Cow Jumped Over the Blue Moon Pasta, and I got the Scallops Beurre Noisette. Again, the scallops were cooked just right, and the sauce complimented the light scallop flavor beautifully. We both preferred our choice to the other's, which is usually how it goes when we eat out. Both dishes had very strong flavors, so you need to love your choice.
We were too full for dessert, but I plan to go back late one night and order just all the desserts. There are three, and I have heard great things about the Poached Pear from a co-worker who frequents the place.
I also love the size as I love the homey feel with a touch of fun design. The night we were there, there was a group of 8 or so girls, and one of them thought it necessary to do a screaming-laugh for about 5 seconds straight--you know, the piercing kind. Ouch. So--great acoustics also! But she couldn't ruin the food or the ambience for me, it was just too good, exactly what I was looking for that night.
