| - Dinner After Our Massages / Spa Time
So we were already relaxed when we walked in around 6pm on a Wednesday evening.
There were folks eating dinner but it wasn't super busy so we were seated quickly.
Dining Area:
Open yet Quiet and Serene.
They have a patio area that is nice to enjoy when the weather is good.
Low lighting... Light Colors .... Simple fixtures and furniture nothing overly ornate.
Wine:
They have a good list of wines by the glass as well as a much longer list of bottles to be enjoyed.
We opted to go "by the glass". Plus, they offer 3oz pour options so that you can try several wines should you choose to be adventurous or indecisive. I was a bit of both so I opted to go the 3oz route.
Mom had a glass of Pouilly Fuisse which she enjoyed very much. I got a taste and must say that I would have ordered that too had I not opted to do a bit of sampling of a couple of 3oz pours.
Appetizers:
They bring a small plate of green olives, parmesan cheese and crispy zucchini slices for you nibble on while you wait for your entrée.
The parm cheese was fantastic! It was fun to try the cheese with our wines because it brought out different flavors in our wines. So good!
The green olives were light, mild and slightly earthy. Not the typical oily or strong olive like black olives or kalamata olives or the ones they put in martinis.
The crispy zucchini were gone in a matter of seconds. I could just sip wine and eat those all day and be happy.
We ordered the Crostini also... it had prosciutto, provolone, arugula, grape tomatoes on it. A very good item to start with because it's not big and it's not filling... so you don't have to worry about being too full before dinner arrives. Of course, we were hungry so that might have had something to do with it.
Food:
Mom had the grilled fish/seafood special... it came with 3 different types of fish (swordfish, ahi and salmon), shrimp and lobster. It wasn't big but it filled her up. The shellfish was a bit overcooked but the fish was perfectly cooked.... Not dry at all and Not fishy.
I had the crab ravioli special. The raviolis were delicate and amazingly light. It was served in a light white wine broth / sauce.
Side of broccoli... good enough for 2 people.... Perfectly seasoned and prepared. Not soggy... Not hard... "Just right".
Most of their dishes are on the "light" side... meaning no heavy sauces... they really try to let the freshness of their dishes be the stars rather than trying to add flavor with lots of butter, cream or sauce.
Service:
Welcoming... Nice... Polite... Helpful... Lawrence was all of these.
I wasn't sure what kind of vegetable side I wanted to go with my crab raviolis and he expertly pointed me in the right direction.
Price: Not super expensive but not cheap either... Figure about $50-70/pp depending on what you order.
Net, Net.... Definitely a great place to go for a lovely, quiet, excellent meal.
