| - Went here for my fiancee's birthday dinner recently! I was so excited to give this place a try. Locally owned, right down the street and somewhere we had never been before! When we got there, the waitress seated us at a table near a window. There were only about 10-12 tables in the whole restaurant and I was actually surprised at how many people there were. It happened to be 1/2 off bottles of wine night so we ordered one of those. There were two servers both of whom were very sweet and accommodating.
We started with a featured watermelon and arugula salad, which was really good. For dinner, I had the steak and my fiancee had the featured dish (a grouper with a saffron couscous i believe). The first time my steak was over cooked, but they fixed it and sent back out a better medium rare. Everything had a good flavor, but what was the most disappointing was the prices for this type of food. We spent 100 dollars on a bottle of wine, a featured fish dish, one salad, and a steak. If it had been a filet or some other cut of beef, it would have been a little more reasonable to ask people to pay 24 dollars, but this was an 8 ounce skirt steak. I just don't see the value in that. If this were a little more reasonably priced, this would be somewhere we would frequent a lot. I think they also get most of their vegetables from the farmers market across the street, which is nice.
It was just a bit disappointing. For the price, there are plenty more locally owned places with the similar feel to them.
