| - It seemed like most of the other tables in the restaurant were receiving excellent attention, but for whatever reason, our server seemed distracted. It took more than 10 minutes after being seated to receive waters and another 5 minutes for our server to return to take our drink order. Our server didn't bring out complimentary bread with our salads, and brought it out after our entrees only when we requested it, and she made a joke that she didn't want us to spoil our appetites.
Like many other reviewers, I had the misfortune of ordered an overly salty dish. My dining companions all seemed to really enjoy their meals (Roasted Maple Brined Half Chicken, Seared Hawaiian "Ahi Tuna #1", and the Venison special). I opted for a squid ink linguine with shrimp, oven roasted tomatoes, spinach and a butter sauce. It was so salty that I couldn't eat more than a few bites. I had to pace myself since the salt was so overwhelming to my palate. I was also disappointed that the kitchen used bay shrimp rather than a larger, more flavorful variety.
The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated and the menu had a lot of potential if you know what to order. I don't think I'll take another chance on a restaurant this pricey. If I'm spending $25+ for an entree, I would rather go for a sure thing.
