| - We went here for Restaurant Week, family of 5. They have so many TV commercials that the restaurant name stuck in my head. This was my first time at this restaurant and actually eating around the East Blvd. locals. They have free parking, which was nice compared to some Uptown locations only minutes away. We went immediately after church, around 1pm, and the restaurant wasn't close to being crowded, at all.
Regarding the food, they had a variety of Restaurant Week choices. Since we had 3 adults eating, we ordered a variety. The Mushroom / Artichoke Soup was tasty with the first bite, but by the end, it tasted very bland (almost like a gravy instead of a soup). They have a dipping cheese combo which included a really yummy guacamole. Entrees included Salmon and Ribeye. Both were okay. Not the best I've had, but not the worst either. Dessert included Strawberry Shortcake, Brownie A La Mode, and Key Lime Pie. Now I usually like all of these, but the best part of all three would be the ice cream and strawberries. The Key Lime Pie was not too bad, but nothing extra. Something different was the fact that the Strawberry Shortcake was made with a biscuit instead of cake, which kind of took away from your traditional thought of what a strawberry shortcake tastes like.
Oh, and I can't forget the wine as part of the Restaurant Week menu. Probably the best for me.
Overall, location, parking, and wine were my highlights.
