| - Corbin's for Mother's Day - with two teens. Chosen for the extensive menu, the reviews here, and a quick phone call where I was assured that evening seating would not be a problem, no crowd expected. We arrived in two cars - two hungry teens and me, were seated immediately in a comfy booth and offered drinks.
The room was exactly the opposite of what I pictured - the bar was to the south and the restaurant on the north. I wondered if I saw a reversed image printed somewhere.
I ordered a fish main course; silly hungry kids ordered the portabella mushroom sandwich and vegetarian sandwich. Oops, forgot the artichoke spinach dip (yummy). (With so many vegetarian options on the menu, I'll never understand how they chose such lightweight sandwiches.)
The service was excellent; our server put in our forgotten appetizer and brought it out, stat! No more starving teens. Apparently the veggie sandwich was good, the portabella fell apart making it difficult to eat (but tasty). The fish was nothing special, although it was clear an effort was put into it. Sort of like visiting a friend who worked hard to make the meal, but it was nothing to rave about.
Still, the ambiance, the service, the lack of a line, the satisfaction of two teens, the single rose (with thorns) and good food, made this an overall delightful night out.
