| - Came here on a Friday evening to hang out with some friends and had a great time. Atmosphere was nice, architecture was pleasant and it wasn't too loud to have a decent conversation.
Amaretto sour was really good and my dining partner's seemed to really enjoy the beer and wine offerings on the menu.
A lot of things on the menu peaked our interest so we opted to get a few "small bites" and a pizza to share.
Ahi Tuna Tartar Taco - meh, there was supposed to be wasabi in this dish somewhere but it just wound up being a little bland and messy.
Crispy Duck Confit Nuggets with curry aioli - best thing we ate outside of dessert, the curry aioli was really nice, but I couldn't distinguish a very "ducky" taste, they could have been chicken nuggets for all I knew!
Lake Erie Creamery Goat Cheese cake - this was quite nice as well, but a little too small even for a "small bite", very difficult to share but the flavors were all in the right place.
Crab Cake - not bad, mustard aioli (they like using that stuff a lot here) was good, but the crab cake was kind of "fishy" tasting, not sure if they used the canned variety or fresh, but it was lacking a little bit. The crust was nice on it though, well cooked.
Lobster crust - basically a thin-crust pizza with cheese on it and one lobster chunk per slice.....there was supposed to be leek and spinach in this thing too but I didn't catch one glimpse of any green. It was ok, definitely nothing to write home about. We packaged up the two slices left over and were going to take it home but it started smelling up the car so we just chucked it out after driving for a couple of miles.
Dessert - got some kind of peanut-chocolate thingy that was really good, but you can't really mess up that flavor combination even if you try ;o)
The questionables:
1. Service was good, perhaps a little "too" good. Our friends were still working on their fries near the end of the meal and we literally had about 5 separate people come over and try and snatch the plate out from under them, hands off people! There are easy signs to watch for to let you know when people are done eating, learn them!!
2. The menu with their "bites", "small plates" and "feasts" seems awfully similar to the Greenhouse Tavern's "firsts", "seconds" and "thirds"......it seems like they tried ripping off the menu concept, but they didn't really succeed with the execution.
I might come back and try their burgers as our friends (who both got the burger) really enjoyed their meals and the couple fries I scooped off their plate were pretty tasty. The cheese board that a couple of ladies at the bar ordered also looked really nice. So, deserving of a second chance, but I'll definitely be less adventurous in what I order next time.
