We were staying at the LaQuinta Inn across the street and had a 10% off food coupon. Even without a coupon this place is worth it.
We went early, 4:00ish but not for Happy Hour. Not busy at all, nice and quiet. Our waiter Julio was adorable, helpful and attentive.
I had the beer tasting sampler. 7 of their beers; all but two were great. My husband did not care for his Schwartzbier, too light in flavor and color. The Czech Pilsener was our favorite.
Now for the food... My husband had the bone-in Ribeye which melted in your mouth. He said it was second only to Joe's Crab Prime Steak and Seafood at Caesar's. I had Calamari appetizer, so-so, but the wasabi sauce was great. Then I had the Lobster and Crab cake appetizer. Flavorful lobster and crab and lots of it, no fancy spices or fillers. I don't know how they managed to hold it together. With that I had the lettuce wedge salad, also huge, and the best blue cheese dressing I have had in a restaurant. Lots of bacon crumbles and blue cheese chunks as well. Finally, we each had a mini dessert. Strawberry cheesecake and warm apple bread pudding.
No restaurant has impressed us this much in a looooong time! We may even go back again tomorrow on our way out of town.
