| - Chic, chic, and more chic.
Decor: Pale blue booths and chocolate tables, an upholstered wall, charming stripped huge floor lamps. To sum it up, clean, simple, and fresh. (I was kind of disappointed in the bathroom decor, though...)
Wine: A wonderfully large selection of various wines - including a nice bright Reisling that I decided to try. I can't even remember the name, except it's the first one on their list, and it was one of the best Reislings I've had in awhile. Not too dry, and tongue tingling.
Food: Like the decor, is clean, fresh, and tasteful.
I split the bow-tie chicken pasta with tomatoes, spinach, and pine nuts and the cobb salad with my friend. Both were extremely satisfying, but I have to say I almost liked the cobb salad better. Almost. The thing that made it so tasty was the wonderful poppyseed viniagrette that came with it. It didn't hurt that it had big chunks of avocado, chicken, and just a touch of bacon and egg; just enough to taste, not overpower.
My friend's mother had the Everything salad, and her aunt had the Maine lobster salad. Both seemed extremely satisfied.
The really impressive part, was that our server must have overheard us talk about our birthday, because when we ordered dessert, (we had to get the Bars of Sin...who wouldn't want that?) the plate came with the words Happy Birthday in chocolate.
So what are these Bars of Sin? Decadent chocolate mousse on top of some wafer like bottom, all covered in a thin chocolate ganache. Pair that with vanilla bean gelato, and this is one sin that'll take you to heaven.
The prices were about the same as some other places I've been to; a little up there, but we had big portions and everything was very tasty. I'd probably go more for lunch than dinner, but I definitely recommend this place.
