| - Holy Cheese Balls! This place is amazing! I wanted to spice up our monthly date night and this was by far a feather in my hat to be certain.
I made a reservation, even though I was a smidge skeptical on what the term, "casual elegant" really meant without looking up the term. As we first entered the restaurant, you will be overwhelmed, just alone on the door.
We were greeted very openly and were taken through the restaurant, which passes the very nice bar area and seated in a wonderful, quiet, and romantic area of the restaurant. However, each area is most likely just as nice.
Our host and the servers were personable, professional and prompt. We ordered the mushroom soup, hanger steak and fingerling potatoes for one entrée and snails, arugula salad, brussel sprouts and rack of lamb for the next. Oh my word, what a feast. In order to push the envelope, I ordered after dinner coffee and we HAD to try the famous chocolate mousse for one desert and I had 2 scoops of the chocolate sorbet. Hello, I didn't even realize there was such a thing. If I had a straw I would have drawn out every savory drop from the bottom of my dessert bowl.
SO yes, this was an outstanding pick, definitely coming back again. For the very discriminating folks, the sunflowers in the suspended vases were not of my taste, the candle holder did not blend well with the place setting and ambiance and yes, someone recently wrote about a cracked toilet cover, but in reality, we are here to dine.
