| - Stopped in for a recent Saturday evening dinner here and really enjoyed the meal and ambience. Good vibe in here, casual in a decidedly upscale way.
Food-wise, we enjoyed grilled shrimp risotto cakes as an appetizer, and followed with the gorgonzola stuffed filet mignon for me (way tasty, very rich) and a seafood special of the day (salmon, bacon, hollandaise) for her - also way tasty, and very rich. So... not a calorie counter's meal unless you're trying to see how high you can count. No matter, the first standard we apply is "could I have cooked this just as easily at home?" and the answer was "no way".
Bombay martini, up, olive, very dry - solid work at the bar. Wine.. ehh, this may be the weak spot. Not to be too big of list, and so-so selections it seemed. We did have a bottle that was pretty good and she had a glass that was not so much, but - and here's where I sound like an effete snob and I swear I don't even play one on tv - I have grown tired of drinking red wine served "hot" or warm room temperature and paying for it. Get a chiller and handle up on it at Cellar temperature - or at least on some "choice" selections if intend to be even remotely serious about wine.
Will return.
