| - This review is for dinner only. I have yet to try brunch, but hopefully I'll be able to update this review in the near future with that information!
This is my go-to spot for a romatic dinner with the wife. This place is perfect for anything romantic...from a first date, to a 50th anniversary dinner. Its a place that truly transcends time and generational gaps, both in ambiance and style of cusine.
In case you were confused by the last sentence above, I mean that the menu and amibance aren't trendy and contemporary enough to scare off grandma and grandpa, and yet not old-fashioned and stuck up enough to scare off the youngins! It a perfect balance of old meets new.
Service here is prompt and unassuming. I've never gone wanting for a thing at my table during the numerous visits I've made, and yet have never been bothered by a servers overbearing presence. Another reason it's great for a quiet, romantic dinner. If I want to be entertained by my server, I'll go to Ru Sans. Those guys are friggin hilarious; just not conducive to a quiet dinner conversation.
I highly recommend the Lemon Goat salad, and the Duck Breast with grapefruit reduction. My wife can do a salad and crab cake appetizer here and be thoroughly full. As for the "smokey collards" that comes with the crabcakes...my wife rarely gets to enjoy any, because I'm usually scraping them off her plate and onto mine before the server can set our plates down. I'm a sucker for good ol' fashioned pork bone soaked collard greens, and this place does not disappoint.
