The house was beautiful. We liked the rooms and alcoves. It was definitely a place to go for a romantic setting.
The food wasn't as impressive as the setting. Large liquor menu. Very short dinner menu.
We started with the sherry bisque ... yes sherry not lobster or turtle ... it was a tomato soup with sherry with a topping of cream served in a coffee cup. Our guest had the butternut squash soup served in a traditional soup bowl.
We had the Ceasar and mixed greens salads. The veggies were fresh and dressing were flavorful.
For dinner, we had the filet, elk, and shrimp & mussels with cannoli beans. The waitress told us premium cut of elk and not gamey tasting. It was GAMEY. The filet was very good. The shrimp, mussels & cannoli beans needed rice or couscous.
For dessert, sorbet and cookies ended the evening.
The waitress was very attentive. The bathroom was on the second floor (up steep steps). The valets were prompt.
We expected more from the meal.
