| - Had dinner here before a show at Playhouse recently. Not sure what the negative reviews were all about as I had a wonderful dinner.
Started out with a nectarine and walnut salad with a soy vinaigrette. I'm not a huge fan of soy sauce, but I was intrigued by this. It definitely tasted like soy sauce, but somehow the combination with the lettuce and nectarines, it was an interesting savory sweet pairing that challenged by taste buds. I also had a side of the butternut squash risotto. It reminded me of a fried rice my mother makes because there were some perfectly cooked sweet onions in there as well. The risotto was more a regular rice in my opinion as it was not as creamy as other risottos I've had. However, the butternut squash was cooked thoroughly and I wanted more once I finished it. They had some other vegetarian options (soup, several salads, pasta, and a lasagna) so I appreciate that I can return and have variety.
My husband enjoyed a barrumundi fish and there were no complaints there. We finished our meal with the lava cake dessert. The cake to ice cream portion was not quite right (more ice cream), but just as you see on all the cooking shows on TV, the chocolatey goodness spilled out of the cake like lava.
Service was great too, although we were there a bit earlier on a Sunday evening.
And, as another review comments, yes the walls are quite bare, but it's nice to give our eyes a break from the hustle and bustle of the modern world.
