| - This was my 2nd time here in as many weeks and both times were spectacular. From the very attentive service, the great 80's music playing on my 2nd visit to the really delicious food this is certainly worth visiting again.
The atmosphere is cozy with a large bar which takes up most of the room and some kitschy "red tomato" lamp shades along the bar area. There are very comfortable chairs and booth areas along the walls as well.
On my first visit I was invited to try out their new pizza menu. There is a wide variety of choices with very unique flavors and toppings all on nicely crispy thin crusts.
From the Reds I thoroughly enjoyed the Sausage Pizza which came with tomato, caramelized onions and fennel. Just enough kick in the sausage to be enjoyable. Another Red which was interesting was the Hangover Cure. Although a bit salty for my taste it certainly was a taste treat with tomato, bacon, olives, chilies and soppressata.
From the Whites there was also quite a bit of choice with a Mushroom Pizza, a Smoked Salmon (which ended up being my favorite), and a Potato Pizza.
The Mushroom Pizza consisted of a variety of 4 types of mushrooms with truffle oil drizzled on top. Quite tasty if you like the different textures and flavors of mushrooms as I do.
The Potato Pizza had Yukon Gold potato (of course) along with caramelized onions and thinly sliced fennel which gave it a lovely flavor.
My favorite as mentioned above was the Smoked Salmon Pizza. A thin crust with mascarpone spread, grana padano, thinly sliced apple and arugula. The arugula gave a very nice peppery taste along with the creaminess of the mascarpone.
There are also some very interesting marriages of ingredients with the Peking Duck Pizza and the Smoked Chicken with chipotle BBQ sauce. The Peking Duck Pizza was very flavorful with the crispy duck crackling but I found the hoisin sauce drizzle too sweet for my liking.
The Smoked Chicken was very interesting with the tiny bit of spice with the addition of the chipotle BBQ sauce.
All of the pizzas are reasonably priced from $15.00 to $18.00 each for 4 large slices.
On my 2nd visit I was lucky enough to share in a sampling of several appetizers, some mains as well as 3 of their desserts.
Our group shared 2 soups, the Baked Lobster and Crab soup and the Gumbo Sausage and Chicken w/corn bread. Both soups were very rich and the melding of flavors made them delicious. The Gumbo had tasty corn bread to sop up even the last drop where the Lobster and Crab had what looked like beautifully toasted bun on the top. Again to sop up every last delicious drop.
We also shared the "Jerk" wings, the Calamari and the Coconut Shrimp. All 3 were tasty but nothing out of the ordinary.
We decided to try some of the pastas and share them as well. The favorite by far was the Garlic Shrimp w/Angel Hair Pasta. Plump shrimp and the past melted in our mouths. We also tried the Mushroom Agnolotti w/mushroom truffle butter sauce. I was partial to this as I loved the mushroom flavors with the truffle butter sauce. Another favorite was the Meatball Gnocchi with marinara sauce w/sausage and Angus beef meatballs. Nice flavors in the meatballs and the Gnocchi were nicely done and held on to the marinara beautifully.
One cannot have a lovely meal such as this and ignore dessert. We decided to share again with Bread Pudding w/chocolate and banana, Chocolate Mouse and our waiters favorite, Creme Brulee. All 3 were tasty with their own unique flavors but I agree with our waiter and will vote for the Creme Brulee as my fave!
Although I have tried almost everything on the menu I will most certainly go back as some things are worth repeating!!
