Stumbling in from the cold night Alison and I were kind of confused when we first stepped into the Lobby of what couldn't look less like a restaurant. But a door to the Right leads you down the stairs and before you know it the left side opens up to a dark wooden bar facing across to what is an otherwise bland looking restauraunt. We were seated in a booth and quickly brought menus. The beer menu was not impressive so I went with a Gin and Tonic which was delicious. Alison went with a glass of house wine I don't like wine or know anything about it but it was white and she seemed happy with it.
We got the Fried Zuchinni and Bruschetta as our appetizers. The Zuchinni was the best I have ever had, lightly breaded and crisp. You could tell the ingredients were fresh. The bruschetta was also quite delicious but it was definitely overshadowed by the Zuchinni. As soon as the plates were empty they were removed and my broccoli cheddar soup had arrived. The soup was okay, fresh but a little too thin I like my soup creamy.
Again the service was impeccable as my Chicken Marsala arrived within 15 minutes of sitting down. The pasta side dish was very good but the chicken was just okay. The sauce was on the sparse end and the chicken a little dry.
We finished the meal off with Tiramasu and my inner foodie was satisfied. We had the groupon so our meal cost $28+drinks and tip. Leaving with a bill under $50 made paying for downtown parking a little less painful. I will definitely return to this hidden gem and next time sit at the bar. Look for that groupon it's a semi-regular feature.
