Went here yesterday as I had some shopping to do the Blakeney shopping center. I was excited to return as they hosted a lovely Yelpy Happy Hour and all was fabulous.
I got there around 1PM - Ordered the Tomato Bisque Soup, the Encore Salad and chose Salmon as my protein and a lovely glass of chardonnay (can't remember the label - however it was from California).
The soup - DE-LISH! It was balanced perfectly between sweet and tart with the parm cheese and garlicky croutons! I would return for that for sure.
The salad was lovely with the mixed greens, dried cherries, toasted almonds, feta cheese and a creamy balsamic. This salad was perfect.
As for the salmon... me no likey at all... it was supposed to be grilled, but I don't know if it really was or just put atop of the flat -- it was bland, completely tasteless. I asked for lemon and salt to help it out... but couldn't do it. So I left that on my plate.
I sat at the bar to not take up any tables because the bar was full with people taking breaks from shopping and/or the husbands waiting for their wives while they shop. The bartender was GREAT! The service alone made up for the salmon.
Will I return, for sure, but not for the salmon. There are other items on the menu that taste great and will try others. The soup is really good as was that salad.
Oh, here is a strange thing, my cell phone did not work there... I have AT&T and had no coverage... strange. My phone worked just fine when I stepped outside...
