| - We stopped in here at about 8:15pm on a Saturday and they were pretty dead.
Sat us a a cute little two seater table. -1 Star: the chairs were uncomfortable. Not something that you want to sit in while having a long dinner.
We started with the Steamed Mussels with a Spicy Thai Curry Sauce. The sauce was a delicious creation. The mussels were cooked perfectly. -1 star: the mussels were gritty. ugh!
My husband and I both had the Holiday Mixed Grill: Petite Filet Oscar, Grilled Salmon, Jumbo Shrimp & Sea Scallop, Rosti Potato, Sauteed Spinach and Salsa Cruda.
This was great because you could sample so much without having to dive into a main course. The Petite Filet Oscar was my absolute favorite, as the meat was cooked to a perfect "medium" and when you cut it, it was like butter! The salmon and sauteed spinach were fantastic. The Rosti Potato was delicious as well.
My husband and I watch all the cooking shows, including Hell's Kitchen, and you know if you watch Hell's Kitchen, that you better have the same coloring on your scallops, especially if its going to the same table. Well, I am not a fan of scallops, but I am always willing to try them. My husband had a wonderful sear on his scallop, while mine barely had any color at all. IMO: It probably could have been cooked a little longer. I'm not a chef, so I'm not going to dock a star for this. But it was definitely noticed.
Our waiter, "Marty Funkhouser" (if you get that reference, kudos to you!) was really great. No clue what his real name is, but if you go there and find the guy that reminds you of Funkhouser, you will be taken care of.
I think I would only come back for Happy Hour, since I work in Howard Hughes and its right around the corner. Not sure if I would come back for dinner, even though we really enjoyed it.
