| - We came here for my husband's birthday dinner and left fat and happy. Emphasis on "fat."
We didn't have a reservation, but I figured since we were early-ish (about 6:20 on a Saturday) that we could give it a shot. We had no problem snagging a small booth by the window. The space is sleek and modern, and our server was very nice.
We split the truffled mushrooms (truffle gouda, holy crap right?) to start, and they were amazing. I opted for the half roasted (herby, juicy) chicken over mashed potatoes, and my husband went with the bone-in filet with a side of mac and cheese. His steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare. Before they were served, we got to select our own knives out of their little knife collection box. A fun touch.
The food was divine. Like I said, everything was cooked perfectly and the little crock of mac was deceiving--it was so rich and cheesy that we couldn't finish it off! Our server found out we were celebrating a birthday and presented us with a free order of their butter cake (GOOEY, molten cake with sauteed peaches, topped with candied pecans and a side of bacon-vanilla ice cream. OMG.) It was an amazing way to end the meal, but we honestly didn't NEED it. We were so, so stuffed. (But were we going to turn down free butter cake? NO WAY.)
There seemed to be a little too much time between ending our appetizer and receiving our main dishes, as well as getting our credit card picked up after we were done, but I know it takes a while for new places to get their bearings. Prices are pretty steep, but you're definitely paying for the location, the amazing food and the nice touches.
With my glass of wine, an appetizer, two mains and a side, we came out to $150 after tip. Definitely not a regular dining experience for us, but absolutely a place for celebrating and having a special night. It's Monday, and I'm still full!
