| - We are locals here (part of the year here, part elsewhere). We eat out every single day. We recognize that the restaurant business is a difficult and tricky business to achieve success in. We eat in divey out of the way places and in high end restaurants (think Hank's in GVR). It is with this in mind we write reviews.
Just a few steps East from the Fremont Experience is a delightful , small nondescript restaurant that is not to be missed . It's in an area that is "re-developing" and it is a restaurant that will appeal to a more sophisticated diner, not a Fremont Experience guzzler who loves $1.50 hotdogs.
We stopped to look at the menu and the hostess came out out to the street to greet us and induced us to give the place a try. Denise, our hostess, did an excellent job of greeting us and explaining the menu in very engaging terms.
A delightful restaurant, spacious, very well appointed, comfortable and with very attentive table service. And then there's the food... Excellent, unusual, delicious and filling. All of the food is housemade and the flavor demonstrates that. From the appetizer through to dessert the meal is a wonderful dining experience. The Oxtail Empanadas (you get 4 small empanadas) were different, tasty and a fine appetizer. I recently had the French Dip which was excellent with tender and plentiful slices of beef and real (not salty bouillon) au jus filled with small pieces of beef. The truffle chips and the pepper chips are very good. The Chicken Fried Chicken Sub was delicious, with a large fried (not oily) chicken breast on a wonderful roll. A very rich chocolate cake and good coffee topped off the lunch. Full bar with a very nice beer,wine and cocktail menu. Dinner service begins at 3PM.
The restaurant is wonderful for couples , business lunches and dinners and it has a loft area that can accommodate large gatherings . Roger, the owner, stopped by and we had a pleasant and informative chat. Our server Tracy was excellent, attentive and informative without being overbearing.
We commend Therapy to you without hesitation.
