| - Although I haven't had the pleasure of dining at Vincent's of Camelback, I became a fan of his little brother, Vincent Market Bistro, after just one visit. Although I thought there were a few too many tables in this small space, I still found it cozy and intimate.
I had a hard time deciding between trying a pizza (the Four Cheese had my attention with mozzarella, bleu, brie, and goat cheeses with pesto) or a full-blown dinner (particularly the Shrimp Crepe with avocado corn salsa). But the Prix Fixe won with three courses for a very reasonable price ($25 I think).
They allowed me to substitute lobster bisque for the soup offered, and it was very rich, and buttery, and lobstery. The halibut/sea bass duo was my preferred entree. Perfectly cooked, perfectly sized given it was sandwiched between a cream soup and dessert. The pot de creme was surprisingly and pleasantly, not chocolate. Although I like chocolate, I prefer it as an element of a dessert, not the main ingredient. Only "getting too old to remember shit" me can't remember the flavor..I believe it was raspberry. What I do remember is that it was very good.
Our server was delightful in responding to our 101 questions about the menu. It was a lovely meal overall. Note to self: go back soon.
