What a wonderful way to spend a quiet evening! I love using Living Social (or other similar coupons) to try new restaurants. At least if it's a clunker, your wallet doesn't suffer, too.
Not only did we spend over the coupon limit, but we added the yummy bruschetta -- a fig, a marmalade and a caprese -- and the Don't Miss Dessert (the best bread pudding I've ever had!) Our waitress explained that they change it up. Tonight's was made with a red wine reduction, apples and cranberries. The crispy glazed topping was the magic touch.
Clearly, this place didn't skimp on the chef. He knows what he's doing! Who knew that scallops beurre blanc would be exceptional served over seaweed salad and grilled pineapple? My companion had the chicken piccata and was pleased with the tender chicken breast served over sliced potatoes. I believe all of the menu items are prepared with at least a splash of wine.
The waitress explained that the current "bottomless Mimosa" brunch was a good deal, but that the staff was challenged by the onslaught of diners. From what I can tell, they will definitely do everything they can to improve there.
The greeting felt authentic and our waitress (Mary) was capable, warm and attentive.
Next visit for me is going to be a TuesdayLadies' Night when the Wine-Tini's are only $7!
Nice concept and great job for a relatively new place!
