| - Oh, what a wonderful, wonderful romantic place for a date. I thought the ambience was perfect for an intimate conversation. I adored being walked from the front of Cowboy Ciao thru the outdoor, vine covered passage. It was the perfect amount of distance/time to break the ice when meeting someone new.
What greeted me when the door opened was stunning. The dimmed lighting, combined with the oversized wine caskets, plush seating was very welcoming. Our server, Melissa, was a gem. She incredibly well versed in the vast menu and clearly had a passion for it.
As I was with a true wine connoisseur I deferred to their choices on red. I enjoy a more robust red, and provided that amount of guidance. Oh, the joy in watching Melissa describe options. In the end, of course, we went with her suggestions. (How could you not?)
Eventually, we ordered a flatbread Barossa. Pancetta, onion, apple, gorgonzola and rosemary. It was the perfect amount to nibble on while enjoying two glasses of wine.
I was here on a Thursday night for four+ hours. Our server was in no rush to have us go. We didn't even order our first glass of wine for 30-40 minutes. Our waters were continually filled until we were ready. No rush, no overwhelming behavior by the restaurant. The service was impeccable.
Again, just wonderful.
