| - I'm being extremely kind and generous giving this 3 stars. Personally, this is a 2 star place all day long, however, the service was excellent, that I'm bumping to 3 star. I came here for a friends birthday party. There were 14 of us and 8 of the group opted for the 6 course meal ($100pp) and the rest of us ordered a la carte.
Oddly, the 6 course meal was really most of what's on the menu, just tiny portions.
One thing that I loved was the bread service. They offer soft butter topped with sea salt to accompany the various breads. That was so good. I liked the cherry walnut bread best.
I ordered the seabass with sauteed vegetables. Anyone who knows me knows I loooooove seabass and loooooove veggies.....however, this was just eh. I didn't even finish! I've never ever NOT finished a seabass meal, or veggie meal for that matter. It just didn't do it for me. The fish was flat and the veggies were.......eh...shoulder shrugs. And not for nothing, for $40, I should have LOVED my dinner.
I had 2 pineapple ginger mojitos'. Those were good, not great, but good. My friend ordered some weird bourbon drink that was actually very tasty. (I dont like bourbon, but I do seem to enjoy his drinks when I taste them).
Maybe it's what I ordered (doubt it), but I wasn't impressed.
They offered some pistachio and raspberry "tarts" at the end of dinner and they were NOT good. The raspberry was SO overpowering. I did like the homemade carmels that accompanied Arvins' bday dessert.
The company was awesome, I had a great time. I just wasn't a fan of my food, and let's face it, that pretty important. So 5 stars for the company (as always), 2 stars for the food and 4 stars for service! So, we will be nice and give 3 stars.
