| - Not so unique dining experience indeed.
The short: looks like it used to be a Mexican restaurant, service was eh, entrees were tough, disappointing dessert :(.
Dined here during Restaurant Week and Todd's definitely seemed to be the place with the most value, it was $30.12 for a 3 course.
The night did not start off so well beginning with reservation. Made a reservation Friday 9PM, came a bit early, and didn't get seated until 930PM. Okay no problem you're busy, but I did see empty tables in the dining room. Service was a hit and miss throughout the night, seemed to be a lot of tension between the waitress and the bussers.
Started with a Grumpy's salad and a heirloom tomato bisque for appetizers. The tomato bisque was creamy and delicious, but the grumpy's salad was overwhelmed with cheese. For entrees we ordered the beef medallions (medium-rare) and the prime pork ribs. Both equally tough to chew, but had a very nice presentation, accompanying items didn't do much to complement flavor wise though. Lastly the desserts ordered were the hazelnut creme brulee and the salted caramel pudding. Creme brulee was disappointing and lacked the wonderful experience of breaking the torched sugar coat on top. Salted caramel pudding sweetness was overwhelming.
All and all, I'm glad I tried it just to have it crossed off my list of to-do's, but considering it was a 30 minute drive, and so-so experience, I will probably not come back.
