This was an excellent place to spend my anniversary. I had made reservations but it wasn't necessary as we had our pick of seats out on the patio. They have a decent sized patio with about 10 tables. Being just off Younge street you would expect a lot of traffic noise but they are far enough that you can enjoy a romantic evening on a warm summer evening without the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds.
Because it was Sunday they had Sangria on special for $5 a glass or $18 a pitcher and a choice of red or white. We opted for a pitcher of red which was just enough for the two of us to enjoy with out dinner.
They had a set summer menu (competing with Summerlicious) for $25 a person which had excellent choices. I started with the soup of the day which was a watermelon gazpacho with poppy seeds. The soup was very flavorful and creamy and had a hint of heat as it maybe had some chili powder or something in it. My wife started with the stuffed jalapeƱos topped with mango chutney. My taste of them was delicious, the mango offset the spiciness quite well but wasn't too sweet.
For the main dishes I had the blackened steak with chipotle seasoned salsa and a cornbread muffin. The steak was well seasoned and the cornbread perfectly moist. My wife had the asparagus risotto with Atlantic salmon. The risotto had a creamy, buttery-ness unlike I've ever tasted. The salmon was excellently cooked and without that fishy taste you can sometimes get. For dessert we both had the bread pudding with chocolate and raspberry puree. The best part of the dessert was finding a warm chunk of white chocolate hidden in the middle.
The staff were really friendly and engaged. Our server regularly checked in to make sure everything was ok, but wasn't intrusive.
Overall just a great experience.
