| - We headed to XO for my husband's birthday dinner. Overall, a nice evening out, good place for a romantic dinner...but I stop short of five stars due to a small snag, though our server was amazing.
Food was good. Hubs picked a filet/scallop surf and turf and I got a strip. Perfectly cooked to medium...I spread some of the roasted garlic head that comes with it on top along with the garlic butter I added.
Dessert for me was an apple turnover and they brought out a complimentary molten cake for him - a nice added touch. (It wasn't molten, by the way, just moist). Both tasted very delicious.
So the snafu was the salad. Our dinner showed up and we realized our split wedge hadn't come out. We asked the food runner to cancel it. A few minutes later, our main server shows up with our salads. We explained that we no longer wanted them since our dinner had already come. That is the reason for my four stars. The server did however remove it from the bill, and box it up to go home which I think is awesome. I just believe that for a high-quality restaurant, you shouldn't have that kind of mistake. (I know, everyone makes mistakes, and our server seemed to be spread a bit thin, but I'm paying for them to do it better than everyone else, right?)
Otherwise, it was a 5-star experience.
