| - I've been coming here at least once a week for almost 10 years; mostly for lunch, and sometimes just for an iced tea while I work on my laptop for an hour or two. This place is like my 'Cheers.' And most the staff know who I am, I seat myself and they know my "the usual"s. I usually sit on the bar area where Sandy, the bartender & shift manager takes good care of me. Joey, the GM usually makes his rounds to the tables to make sure everything is a-ok, which is really good. I like that personal touch. On the rare occasion something is not 100%, I'm not afraid to let them know and they always make it right in a jiffy.
Okay. Here are "the usual"s.
1. The bread is a must, unless you are a no-carb Nazi. They give you a small plate of oil & vinegar on the side. Here's my tip: ask for a separate plate of their shredded cheese. Break the bread, dip it into the oil, and then into the shredded cheese. The cheese magically sticks to the bread and it's wonderfully even more delicious. I've been known to 'borrow' one of these magic cheese shredders and keep it at my table for the duration of my visit. I love the magic cheese shredder so much I bought one for home from Costco.
2. Lobster Ravioli. Lobster and ravioli we're just meant to be together. Make sure to tell them to sprinkle the cheese from the magic shredder on top so 'it looks like a snowy day.'
3. The Bib & Bleu salad. I love Bleu cheese, so I always add extra Bleu cheese crumbles, (You can never have enough Bleu cheese crumbles.) AND I always add 6 grilled shrimp. (4 is too few. 8 is too many, but 6 is juuuuust right!)
4. Parmesan Crusted Chicken Salad. I always ask for extra .... Wait for it .... Cheese. LOL, they have large tasty shaves of parm cheese on top.
