| - My first time here and while it wasn't perfect, the service and food more than made up for it. Check it...
The Situation:
A week prior I made a reservation on Open Table for the wrong date. Problem is that I didn't realize this until I arrived. When I checked in at the desk, they asked for my name and said it would be a couple minutes longer because they were a little behind on reservations. After waiting for about 25 minutes, I went back up to the hostess stand and inquired on how much longer the wait would be. At that point, another host checked the computer and advised that she didn't see my reservation. When I checked the confirmation in my email, I realized my error and explained what happened. The hostess told me not to worry and they would still accommodate us. Talk about major save. I truly appreciated them not only for fitting us in but being friendly and professional during the whole thing. Pretty cool.
Ambiance:
We were seated by the bar which was kind of loud at one point but died down once more people disbursed and were seated. The room was beautiful and spacious with a sexy vibe. It was a Friday night and there was live music and we sang along to songs like Marvin Gaye's, "What's going on". We sat at a high top and had a good view of the bar, TVs and the musicians.
Food:
The lobster bisque was ok. I have had better but they do make up for it with the huge chunk of claw meat in the middle of the bowl. The crouton or cracker in the middle taste like a homemade ritz cracker, very buttery.
Filet mignon was butter soft and cooked perfectly but did lack a bit of seasoning. The sauce did help to add additional flavor however and when eaten together were perfect. The accompanying asparagus were ho hum ok. I mean they were very tiny, some of the tips charred and bitter. Not a big deal. The grilled shrimp on top were huge and cooked to perfection. I mean those suckers bursts in my mouth and were so juicy and flavorful. Yum!
Crab stuffed shrimp were good and the crab mixture had very little, if any, filler. Again, shrimp cooked perfectly. The side of au gratin potatoes were very rich and delicately seasoned with garlic and cheese, browned perfectly.
The bananas foster butter cake...there's no words. The fun is in the added visual of the flambe when it's brought to the table. My first bite was full of rum and I could've sworn there was a bunch of alcohol left. Lol Think rum cake, butter, bananas and caramel with a side of butter pecan ice cream and real whipped cream. That thing was something dreams are made of. I mean damn.
Lastly, is this place expensive? Hecks yeah, but it's not an everyday type of place. This place is special, some place you go to celebrate, even if you're just celebrating that it's the weekend :)
