My friend did a little research on the city before we headed out to find grub. Grandview had several highly rated restaurants so we headed that way. First, the view on Grandview is beautiful! Regardless of the place you chose to eat at you will be blessed with a postcard worthy shot of the city. FYI - Directly across from the restaurant there's a little place with a historic write up and place to just sit and survey the city.
Honestly I wasn't sure what to expect from the outside. It looked simply like an generic restaurant on an older hotel but we opted to go inside. The restaurant is at the top of the hotel. At street level there is a gorgeous view, so needless to say going up several more floors you are provided with an even more amazing view of the city. The main dining room was booked up so we ended up eating at the bar which was below the main dining room. The bar isn't as pretty as the dining room but we had a table right next to the window (something you can't generally get in the main dining room). The atmosphere was rather intimate - it was quiet and dimly lit - which was really nice. We were able to just relax, talk and take in that beautiful view. The service was excellent - our waitress left us alone but the minute I even thought I might want something she seemed to sense it and magically appeared. I ordered the salmon with the strawberry preparation. Again, I didn't know what to expect but the idea of strawberries paired with salmon intrigued me....... It was phenomenal!!! I'm not sure how to describe it - the sauce was not sweet, nor did it taste especially like strawberries but it was incredibly yummy. My friend got this scallop and shrimp Alfredo pasta dish - the flavor was incredibly light. Most Alfredo dishes are so heavy and rich but this dish had a delicate flavor - not overwhelming - and the pasta was also this ruffled ribbon-like pasta instead of the traditional fettuccine. The prices are a little hefty ($30 for my salmon which just a fish and sauce) but the view, service and intriguing preparations really elevate this restaurant to that higher standard where I felt okay paying that much. I will be sure to come back during my future visits - even if it's just for a cocktail in the bar.
