Dined here tonight for their winterlicious menu after seeing all the positive reviews. Must say the restaurant gives off a wonderful first impression. The decor is lovely, very cozy and inviting. I saw prior to arriving that they took part in restaurant takeover, and since it was my first time visiting I have no idea what it looked like before but it's absolutely beautiful now. We also had a delightful waiter, can't remember his name however he instantly brightened up the table with his quirky jokes and attentiveness.
For the appetizers we had the risotto balls and the miami shortribs. The risotto balls were nice, but a bit bland without any sauce (there was only a small amount on the plate). They did however have a great texture, crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The short ribs were nothing special and a bit bland as well.
Onto the mains, we had the pepper crusted striploin and the roasted beet ravioli. The striploin was decent, the fries were fresh and the gorgonzola butter was heavenly. However, the home made ravioli stole the show. Hands down some of the best pasta I've ever had. The sauce was so creamy and had a slight sweetness which complimented the earthy beet perfectly. My only complaint is that I wanted more! I could have eaten 20 of them instead of the 4 large ones I received. Hopefully this makes it onto their regular menu as I would return again and again for it.
Overall our experience was good. Great atmosphere, great service and good food. Took one star off for the meat appetizer and entree being a bit mediocre, but still above average compared to plenty of other restaurants. Would definitely come back!
