| - Wanted to try a new place while in the area, so after reading mixed reviews decided to make reservations for a Friday night, which weren't necessary as there we only 2 other tables occupied. The restaurant is divided between a bar area and dining area. Very nice decor and feel; however it is very small and I imagine would be very tight when crowded.
Started with an appetizer of the crab cakes, which are advertised as flown in daily from Prince Edward Island. The sauce it was served with was very pleasant and is what made the dish as good as it was; the cakes themselves left a bit to be desired. The crab cake is mostly filler and there is not a bunch of meat to be found in it, but what was there was very delicious and is real crab. For AZ, these were pretty good
I had the filet mignon with the house peas and garlic mash. The sides were very delicious and probably the best peas I've ever had, as the onions and bacon bits created a very nice combination of flavor. The steak cooked perfectly, very tender and juicy. It was served a blueberry bourbon sauce on top, which wasn't bad, but I believe took away from what was a very nice steak. The sweetness of the sauce was a bit overwhelming.
My girlfriend had the salmon with chili sauce, cream corn, and garlic mash. The corn was decent, but not what was expect, basically just sweet corn is a bowl with some tomatoes. The salmon was excellent, well prepared and the chili sauce on top was full of flavor and pairs well with it.
Overall it was a decent meal, but for the price should have been better and is not quite at the level or a Morton's and those types
