| - They kept the spirit of the old Pufferbelly alive, but carved out its own niche. Like I've read on a couple reviews, the only problem is the sound. It was reservations only and every seat was taken, which is a good thing, but it was pretty loud. I know they'll figure something out.
The service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and although it was packed, we didn't feel like it was slow. The owner also made his presence felt which is always a nice touch. For it still being in the soft opening stage, I was pretty impressed with that end of things.
I saw a bad review of the skirt steak on here. Well, they fixed whatever was wrong with it. The server was very upfront about that. I didn't order it, but was soooo jealous of the person at our table that did. Had a bite, it was delicious.
The white balsamic dressing on the salad is the best dressing I've ever had. I was mopping up what was left with my finger.
Calamari was great. Olives, herbs, nuts, tomatoes and a good sauce on it make it different than what I'm used to with calamari, in a good way.
It is pricey, but the ambiance, service, and quality of the food make it worth it for special occasions. We'll probably come back.
