| - This restaurant may promise a little more than it delivers. If this review was only on entrees and ambiance it would be a four or five star review.
First the restaurant is gorgeous and a great place for a special dinner, work dinner, wedding, bridle shower, etc. The wait staff was attentive but seemed over whelmed by our group of six. We had to wait a long time for drinks, bread, and just overall service including getting salt, pepper, refills etc. This restaurant seemed more focused on couples than are larger business dinner.
The real downfall with this restaurant is that only some of dishes like the bread pudding that comes with the elk, and the sea bass were truly exceptional. Other dishes left much to be desired. When you are paying $15+ for side salads and appetizers you expect them to be more than an after thought. While the entrees are very well prepared I would recommend saving your money and skipping the appetizers and salads.
Everyone in our party enjoyed their entrees, with the sea bass coming out on top as the favorite. You could easily make this dish at home with a bit of white miso glaze and a good piece of fish. The dish was very well prepared and full of flavor.
Desserts were also good. Nothing amazing, just nicely prepared small deserts. They are portioned for one person, and not overly rich or sweet.
Overall this is a beautiful restaurant with great entrees. Grab drinks and an appetizer somewhere before hand and then head over for your entrees!
