| - Outstanding in almost every way. The menu changes daily, although about half the dishes remain for more than a week. Two quick and easy points:
1. The attached wine store is great. Respectable selection, a bit higher than total wine or bev mo, but the corkage is less if you buy next door so go ahead and save the time.
2. Prixe Fixe options are 3 or 4 course. Get the 4, the portions are small for America, but right in line with what a good dining experience should be, and that's variety. Who wants to stuff themselves with 20oz of the same cut of steak? Fat Southerners do...
I began my meal with breaded sweetbreads. They were fantastic... perfectly cooked and just the right amount to satisfy an early bite. The next course was roasted golden beets with spinach and duck confit. Awesome. Great flavors. My main course was a local ribeye which came out closer to medium than my ordered med-rare. The cut was about 5oz in my opinion, but again, perfect to me. The seasoning throughout the dinner was spot on... I mean perfect. The final course was called "death by elvis" and was a chocolate, peanut butter, banana cheesecake topped with candied bacon. NOTHING can describe the bliss here...
Lastly, in my opinion, very few restaurants cook well enough to bring a prized bottle of wine to for a special occasion. Although I adore great wine, I hate it when the wine becomes the star of the evening, and not the food. This is one place that makes the cut for those of you who have a great bottle and want impeccable food to pair it with. Enjoy!
