We live down the street and we've never stopped in, but we've always wondered about XO. Finally, last night we made a last-minute reservation. It was spectacular. The space is exquisite. We were stunned to discover this fabulous dining space was hiding in that boring office building. It was wonderful.
Our server was incredible - Jeff, I believe. The food was delicious. I'm 6.5 months pregnant and our server helped me navigate the menu to maximize my experience while still abiding by the rather stringent pregnancy food rules. I removed the tuna from the tempura roll and loved it. I ordered the scallops for my entree and Jeff even made sure they cooked my scallops a bit more than usual due to my pregnancy. The entree was lovely. The risotto was a perfect complement to the scallops. My husband had a blackened steak (I forget exactly what he ordered) with prawns and creamy spinach. He loved everything.
We were disappointed to skip dessert, but we had other plans. Yet again, our server was phenomenal in getting us our check quickly to ensure we were on time to our next plans.
This was such delightful experience. We look forward to returning very soon and we'll be recommending it to all our friends. I just feel foolish that we waited to long to try it.
