| - I have no reason to give this place less than 5 stars! I've been here before a few times, but this past Friday we had birthday reservations for my girlfriend's 25th at 8pm. I got there and the place was almost empty! Quite a change from other times I've been in. I didn't mind it though, we had a great dinner and were able to hear each other speak.
We started with the calamari. It was fried and tossed in a sweet, Asian flavored sauce. It was amazing! Cooked well and not your typical breading.
I ordered their red pepper and gouda soup and the steak salad with chicken instead. Chicken was tender and cooked well. It had a lot of flavor and the ranch was excellent. Others at the table had the steak sandwich, grilled cheese and soup, and steak salad. All received rave reviews.
The real reason to come here, though, is for their martinis! I haven't had a drink here I didn't like. This past weekend I had the strawberry shortcake martini (long week!) and it tasted like a milkshake. It was frothy and the rim of the glass had a brown sugar (?) crushed graham cracker. Other drinks I've tried here range from cosmo's to caramel apple and other martinis (OMG.), the grapefruit mimosa-type drink, riesling and vodka diet cokes. Everything has been well-executed, not watered down and served promptly. It is clean inside and has a swanky, open upstairs with couches, high tops, televisions and a large bar.
A really fun and different place to go either for food or just drinks or both!
