| - A few weeks ago, my husband, bff and her husband, and I came here for the first time. My husband had the Seafood Estouffe, which was lobster, shrimp, scallops and veggies over steamed rice. He also got the loaded baked potato soup and zucchini fritters for his two sides. The portion was big and he said it was delicious. I tasted the soup, and agreed it was good. Our friends got a burger and a steak sandwich with sides, and both said their food was good, too. I had the Salmon Picatta with lemon capers in sauce. I chose a side salad with balsamic dressing and the zucchini fritters for my two sides. The salad was nice - mixed greens, decent amount of veggies and the dressing was surprisingly delicious. I thought that the fritters were okay but super filling - more breading than actual zucchini. My only real issue was with the salmon, which came on a plate by itself, and was completely covered in this sweet sauce and capers. The capers were fine, but the sauce was way too much and overpowering. I ended up asking our waitress for a separate plate, so I could scrap the sauce off and eat the salmon by itself. I can't say that it was bad, it just wasn't for me.
Other than that, our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. The prices are a little high for the quality, quantity, and the general area. However, they do have several coupons on their website that you can take advantage of. We found a coupon online for $15 off, if you order 2 entrees totaling $45 or more. Note: they only let you use one coupon per table, even if you're paying separately. Sort of a bummer.
The other odd thing about this place is the restaurant is intended to be "upscale", but the dining room is a little dated. (It could definitely use a remodel.) We went on a Friday night, and there was karaoke going on in the bar area, and it was extremely loud, even from in the dining room. After diner, we did hit up the bar for a little bit, where the karaoke was, of course, even louder. There must have been a lot of regulars singing, because they were all really good and most sang several times. I didn't mind listening to them at all! They also have a pool table, but only the one. I'm wasn't opposed to sitting in the dining room or the bar, but it was just a really strange combination for me - the juxtaposition of the low-key formal dining area then to the loud bar. It was just a little weird.
All things considering, I wouldn't mind a second trip but would probably just opt for a burger, a beer, and some onion rings.
