| - I dined here during winter restaurant week. Overall, I was a bit disappointed, and that's at a great price. The interior of the restaurant is nice, very sleek. My primary issue was with the service. The restaurant was not that crowded, but I definitely felt like we were being rushed. We were in and out in less than an hour for a three-course meal. That's fine if you're looking for a quick bite to eat, but this was supposed to be a multi-course dining experience. I'm not sure if this is typical, or if it was a restaurant week thing. The waitress was nice enough.
However, I thought my food was pretty tasty. The bread was pretty standard, but came with three kinds of butter, which was nice. I started with the lobster bisque, which was very rich and had big chunks of lobster meat and these awesome tarragon marshmallows. I had the loup de mer for my entree. It was also good - not amazing, but simply prepared and fresh-tasting. I enjoyed the dessert, which was a rich fudge-like chocolate with apricot-paprika sauce. The suggested wine did pair very nicely with the entree. My husband thought his selections were decent. He really liked the chicken thigh first course and the dessert, but didn't really enjoy the beef cheek.
Overall, I'm hesitant to return. I know I would be paying much more than $25, which is fine, but I'm not sure if the experience will be better.
