The highlight of the dinner was the french fry trio that they give you as a starter. I noticed that this was also a fave of many other reviewers. You cannot go wrong with 3 differently seasoned fries and 3 complimentary dips. Considering that this starter is compliments of the house, the portion is substantial.
For dinner, I ordered the American Kobe burger and has the tomato soup to start. The burger was decent, but I have had better American Kobe burgers. The burger does have some of spread or aioli on it that after tasting would have rather had on the side. On the bright side, the burger does come with another pile of those fries. The tomato soup is pretty good. It definitely has the heirloom tomato taste so the the soup is a little bitter. The lobster grilled cheese triangles are small, but tasty.
My date ordered the fried chicken, but was bummed to find out that they only fry it for parties or 2 or more. Single fried chicken eaters have to opt for the grilled breasts instead. The truffle mac and cheese was just fair.
The desserts were pretty good as we shared the creme brulee and root beer float. The root beer float is not on the regular menu, but the waitress brought one to us anyway. I had seen a few of them go by and it sounded tasty. Evidently, the float is part of the pre fixe menu that we were not aware of. Oh well, we got our float so we were happy.
