| - We had one excellent meal here!
It began with warm Sourdough Rolls: some with poppy seeds and some with sesame seeds. Next up were yummy and salty Oysters Rockefeller. Lobster Bisque was thick and tasty, with good lobster flavor. And, French Onion Soup was hot and very tasty, with Mozzarella Cheese.
My entrée of Filet Mignon was buttery and perfectly medium rare as ordered, accompanied by a very good Spinach Salad that contained egg and Hot Bacon Dressing. Lobster was slightly sweet, and Roasted Red Potatoes were excellent. So were a creamy Béarnaise Sauce and Cabernet Sauce. Carrots were prepared al dente. Rounding out what was consumed by my party of four, Grilled Salmon and a medium-well Butterflied Filet were both pronounced good by friends at my table, but unwelcome spinach juice from Sauteed Spinach ran across one diner's plate.
Service was generally excellent, but ordered Garlic Mashed Potatoes were initially left off a fellow diner's plate. One oddity was that Coke and Diet Coke were served in diminutive bottles.
As a distinct bonus to fine food, from our table we enjoyed an excellent rooftop view of downtown and the valley floor below. Because we had a play to attend at the Smith Center, there was little time to order dessert, and we were all too full anyway.
4-1/2 stars overall! I plan to return soon for a more leisurely meal.
