| - Went here recently for the husband's Xmas party with a group of 14 folks. Even though everyone at the table had varied tastes and preferences, everyone seemed to enjoy the meal. And service was also quite good, which is never guaranteed when you roll up with a large crew.
I was eyeing the mussels for about a week before we arrived and was not disappointed in the delivery. Broth was quite tasty. We also got the gnocchi, which I would have much preferred with a lighter sauce (came with a creamy one with prosciutto), but they would not sub. Oh well, it was very good. The Thai peanut calamari was just OK for me, but others at the table enjoyed it.
I had the tuna over rice and absolutely loved it. First, it was a massive piece of fish, second, I don't think I have ever enjoyed a more delicious or perfectly cooked tuna dish. Amazing! However, even with how good mine was, I stole about half of my husband's plate. He went with one of the specials, a pecan-crusted piece of grouper over a lobster rice cake. Oh lord, it was delicious! And again the piece of fish was huge and beautiful.
Even though we were both stuffed, we decided to get creme brûlée and key lime pie for dessert. Both were very very good.
Definitely worth the drive from Winston-Salem! I hope Xmas parties here become an annual tradition!
