| - Ambiance, check. Friendly staff, check. Waitress that was in top of it, check. My salad pleasing my pallet, not so much. I ordered the kale salad with steak and house dressing which also comes with a side of their buttered garlic bread. To start, kale really doesn't have a whole lot of flavor so you gotta jazz it up! It had candied walnuts, but it was just not enough. My steak was under seasoned and the dressing was too sweet. It would be a whole lot better it there was some crumbled Gorgonzola & some sliced grapes or pears in it. Also, the bread had a weird after taste, like spray on butter was used or something funky like that. My boyfriend ordered the prime rib, which I took a bite of; freakin' yum! Cooked & seasoned perfectly and the creamed corn was crazy good! I could have eaten an entire pot of it! I also ordered the Beam & Basil, a cocktail containing whiskey and basil which was chopped, Chiffonade style. Great flavor, but the basil kept getting stuck halfway in my straw and mouth; perhaps a muddle would have been better or chopped up. At any rate, I will be giving it another go and it's nice to see something more classy and trendy in my neighborhood other than the run down Iguana Mack's.
