| - the drink prices in general @ bonterra are insulting bringing their star rating down. other than that the food and service are wonderful as well as the setting. i have been there twice and really enjoyed both visits. last night went with the bone in strip, rare and it was cooked perfectly which is obviously key with steak, sometimes rare steaks come out with a cold center this one wasn't, its was red but room temp which is exactly the way i like it, paired with some very fresh hericots verts (green beans) and some delicious fresh parm gnocchi. we started with some mussels and literally cleaned the bowl with the fresh baguette they served along side. james the bartender was very friendly and provided us with superb service. here is why my star rating is 3 instead of 4, we had a groupon for $60 of food, we just barely clipped that in food, she had two dirty ketel martini's, i had a hendricks and tonic and a glass of robert foley petite syrah...long story short i basically had a bill for 4 drinks it was $47 before tip, maybe i'm whining but that to me seems FN stupid expensive, $13 for a ketel martini is ludicrous. if bonterra would get their booze pricing straight i would frequent it more but those prices make me not want to go back without a groupon/coupon of some sort, i ihave one groupon left to use there, if i dont get another one i will never go back, unless its on someone elses dime.
