| - so excellent and so not a burger place, as yelp has it listed. both service and food were above and beyond.
we arrived a half hour before closed and were uncertain they were still seating but they were very welcoming and seated us. our waitress also informed us apologetically, what they had run out of and that there was only one scallops dish left.
we looked over the menu and i decided i wanted to scallops but it was too late! someone else had already ordered them. but maybe it was meant to be because i got giant shrimp with sweetbreads (it's normally lobster but they were out of lobster and said they could do the same dish with the shrimp) and the boyf got ravioli over pulled pork. they were both so good!
(i'll add this since there are no dollar sign ratings on this place yet: dinner entrees run from $22 to $29, add glasses of wine, and i'd put this at just making a three-dollar sign rating [$$$].)
the ravioli was delicate and not over-salted, with the perfect, light sauce.
but my dish was the star! the sauce was rich and buttery, also not too salty, and so so creamy and aromatic. the shrimp were huge and tender, not at all overcooked, as shrimp often is. the sweetbreads were my favorite part. they were seared to perfection with cripsy edges that gave way to softness. we didn't figure out what organ they were. we thought they were maybe brains, from the way they looked, but later found out that brains don't usually qualify as sweetbreads.
our water glasses remained filled and we did end up being the last people there, a little past closing time, but our waitress still offered us dessert, which was very sweet (get it?), but we declined so they wouldn't have to stay even longer for us. but if i'm in the area again, i definitely want to try more of their menu.
