| - I would give it a 3.5, but in this case, leaning more towards a 3.
Not too bad for a new restaurant. The decor is nice and their wine inventory in the glass display cases out front by the hostess stand looks really nice.
The food could use some tweaking, but it is a new restaurant, so their menu isn't going to be perfect from the get-go.
I went with some friends and I think we ordered enough food to make a good judgment of the menu overall. We ordered the braised short ribs, Maine lobster and sweet potato gnocchi, smoked and chili rubbed pork chop, branzino, Mac n cheese, cauliflower gratin, onion rings, mojito fries, brussels sprouts, and creamed spinach.
Braised short ribs 3/5 - pretty good, but nothing special. The short ribs were tender and moist and fatty. The parsnip puree was okay. Very safe choice for an entree.
Maine lobster and sweet potato gnocchi 4.5/5 - one of my favorites of the entrees we ordered. The sweet potato flavor came out in the gnocchi and the gnocchi were cooked well. The lobster was tender and flavorful. The spaghetti squash was sweet and a good combo with the rest of the dish. The shellfish butter was a good complement for the dish. I would definitely order again.
Kurobuta pork chop 4.5/5 - the pork chop was a generous portion and very well cooked. The smoky flavor worked well with the chili rub and made the pork chop very flavorful. I would order this again as well.
Branzino 3/5 - the branzino was flavorful, but there was not enough sauce on the side. Not even a half full ramekin of chimichurri. I wish I had more chimichurri since it was delicious.
Cauliflower gratin 2/5 - Eh. It was forgettable. Could've used more salt, not very flavorful.
Mac n cheese 2.5/5 - not very cheesy, seemed clumpy and it was dry. Flavor was okay, it was not cheesy enough.
Brussels sprouts 3/5 - they had a nice flavor, bright from the lemon and chili. Well seasoned too.
Onion rings 3.75/5 - the onion rings were crispy, and flavorful. The house made black pepper ranch was delicious, I wanted to dip everything in it, and I did.
Mojito fries 3.5/5 - the fries were thick, steak fries covered in garlic, cilantro, and citrus served with a poblano aioli. The fries were soft and crispy. They could've used a bit of salt, but overall they were good. (I dipped them in the black pepper ranch).
Creamed spinach 3/5 - could be creamier. I like the addition of the crispy onions on top, they added a nice contrasting texture. They were good, but I wish they were creamier.
Overall, not a bad experience. I would definitely give them another try once their menu matures a bit. The service was fine and prompt (we were one of 3 or 4 tables in the dining room). Wine list was pretty big with a large variety of options.
