| - Hubby and I came here for a late night dinner date on a Friday (8pm dinner). The supper rush had just ended half and hour ago, so the restaurant was only half full.
Our server Christopher was extremely knowledgeable in both the wine and the food menus.
For our appetizers, we had the scallops wrapped in bacon (yum) and the Atlantic and Dungeness crab cakes (lots of shredded crab, not too much breadcrumbs, great seasoning). Alas, the crab cakes weren't as good as the ones in Maryland, USA.
Mains: The Manhattan steak(topped with shrimp, scallops and Dungeness crab meat), grilled medium rare, was meltingly tender and juicy. The seafood topping worked excellently with my steak. I asked for more vegetables instead of mashed potatoes or fries since I'm trying to stay away from carbs these days. The vegetables were okay;
they were under seasoned but cooked to tender-crisp. The red peppers were almost raw.
Hubby had the bacon wrapped blue cheese steak. I didn't get to taste his because I don't like blue cheese.
Dessert: we had mini desserts: brownie, creme brulee, ice cream and butter tart. The brownie was a bit dense and heavy, but the creme brulee and ice cream were delicious. The centre of the butter tart was a bit too gooey for my taste.
