| - Oh My Goodness... this place was AMAZING! (be forewarned, I will probably overuse words like fantastic, amazing, etc. but it is not an understatement.)
The service was fantastic and the food was incredible. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and deserves kudos! We ate dinner there to celebrate our dual birthdays. We ordered two appetizers- the grilled octopus and the grilled gulf shrimp. The octopus was fantastic. (I'm not a big octopus fan, but this was delish!) The grilled shrimp was just ok in my book, but my date loved them.
We each ordered a glass of the Rose which was crisp & light. For our main entrees, I had the NY Strip & my date had the bone in porterhouse (32oz).
My NY Strip was 3 big slices of steak (cooked to a perfect medium well), with wilted greens side, and potatoes (they were boiled, fried, & smashed and brushed with butter). Major yum! My date loved his porterhouse that came with pee-wee potatoes. We also ordered two sides- roasted mushrooms & puree potatoes.
OMG, I LOVED the mushrooms & mixing them with the puree was to-die-for. The mushrooms was a mix of multiple types of shrooms (i think 3 types).
My date is a big fine-diner and said the my NY Strip was the best he had ever had (and he has had quite a few). :) Major compliment to the chefs!
The restaurant was super sweet and brought us each out a wonderful dessert with a birthday candle. Not sure what the dessert was, it was kind of like a little bundt bread cake with warm flavors and a dollop of cream on the side. (again YUM!) I had a cappuccino to finish off my meal and my date had an espresso. The cappuccino was one of the best I've had in quite a long while and was similar to what I've found in Italy.
I can't say enough wonderful things about this restaurant.
Thank you for a fabulous dining experience and for making our birthdays special!
