Drove 30 min to check this place out. It made the perfect date night out with the husband. White table cloth, candle, menu that provided lots to talk about.
We got here 6pm on a Sunday night and were one of about 3 tables in a surprisingly big restaurant. By the time we left at 7:30 it was filling up nicely, but no wait. Traded seats with my husband to have a better view of the bar which was romantic and manly at the same time (the bar, AND the gesture).
I ordered a Moe'scow Mule to drink (first one ever). Tasty and stayed ice cold my entire meal in that cool copper mug.
Hubby got the Original Chopped Salad and I got the other chopped salad - started with an M...Mir...I can't remember. We SHARED which I highly recommend - these salads were a tastebud sensation - lots going on and they were different but both delicious.
Hubby ordered the Scallops (3-4 HUGE savory scallops, with gritts) and I ordered the Filet Mignon (cooked to perfection, awesome piece of meat, plenty to share with husband, on mashed potatoes and mushrooms).
We skipped dessert since we had Ben and Jerry's waiting for us at home. So lame I know. Some deserts looked interesting - some involved BACON. Bill came to $96.
This is a place that will keep you talking and bring out the foodie in anyone. Enjoyed the ambiance, old 1920/1930's photos on the walls, and our knowledgeable/attentive server.
I'm feeling stingy with holding back that last star because I thought about a restaurant like DURANTS that might have a leg up on CPH.
