| - I like it, I really like it!!!
I am a very simple eater, I like good food, and want it to be reasonably priced. I do not like pretentious restaurants, which are "in" for a couple of months, and then change after the initial reviews. That said, when a good friend wanted to try FNB, I was good to go - but in my mind I was somewhat hesitant, wondering if it was one of those places that had a rush of good reviews, then service, ambiance and quality would slide.
I need not have worried. I was impressed. After walking by the front door, Pavl was standing in the door and greeted us. I had never met him before, but he is one of those genuinely nice, warm human beings that love the world, and everyone in it. I did not have a reservation, but he immediately sat us and truly made us welcome. It was like dining in some one's home - everyone made us feel at home, and actually seemed concerned about our evening and the meal.
I had the Alaskan Halibut and it was outstanding. I also tried the Jadori chicken, and it too was wonderful (I had not ordered it - it was half a chicken, and I would have ended up with it in my lap). Of course, I am a beer drinker, and their choices were limited, which I had expected - but they did have a beer brewed in Prescott, which was fine. They are known for their wines, and they had an extensive wine list of different local wines available, which I understand are quite good.
It is rather expensive, but the atmosphere, food, and service make it reasonable. And yes, even if you don't know him before you go in, Pavl will seem like an old friend by the time you leave.
