| - Alright, where do I start....
So I called a few weeks prior to the date I wanted to make a reservation for my girlfriend and I. The woman on the phone, I believe her name was Margarita (beautiful name) asked where I would like to be seated and I asked for a booth (I have bad anxiety, booths are a plus) and she gave me more options for booths, dining room, a more private section from the restaurant or a booth next to the kitchen which she described as "a more romantic setting" and I'm like oh hell yea! I think she recommended that one cuz I said it was a res for two, very thoughtful.
The day of the res, they gave me a call about 5 hours prior to make sure that we were still coming in, which I thought was very awesome.
Upon arriving, the table we wanted was still occupied so they offered a different seating option, but my girlfriend and I didn't mind waiting plus I really wanted to see this special seating. It was about a 30 minute wait, but the staff were so helpful and friendly about it, keeping us updated on when it would be ready for us, which made it more bearable to wait.
When we were finally seated, the buss boy (who I assume was the buss boy, nicely dressed wearing a chefs jacket) gave us the option of a darker linen which when I asked the waitress why they offer that, it is because the white linen could leave white lint on my black pants. Bougie. Back to the buss boy, he was so funny and friendly and was right there when we needed him, when we needed water (which he offered different types to us, holy crap OPTIONS FOR WATER ARE YIU SERIOUS?!?) and when we would finish our appetizer he came and cleaned our table, I mean used a special tool to get the little pieces of food we may have dropped on the cloth table, so that was lovely. He was so funny, made us feel like home, we almost wanted him to sit down and hang with us!!! (I believe his name was Josh, but he let us call him Kevin, cuz he liked us, sorry for exposing you Kevin, I can't remember the other name!)
The waitress was soooooooo informative and sooooooo friendly, I feel the worst for not remembering her name. She gave us a run down of the menu, since it was our first time, and because we did look young, I think she made it easier for us to understand. Not condescending, just simple and to the point. Service was very quick and on point, it went by so smoothly.
There was what I believe was a manager that came over to say hello and if we needed anything we could ask, again, very friendly and you can tell that every staff members energy was lively and wonderful, the atmosphere was bouncing around like a positive vibe beach ball at an 80s concert.
The food was amazing and came quickly, we found absolutely nothing wrong with any of it. I am definitely someone who knit picks when I go out to eat, and I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart there was nothing I could find wrong with this place.
From the fresh hot bread that came to us before we ordered, to the oysters we got which were so unbelievably fresh (we got to choose whether they came from the east coast, the west coast), to the avocado king crab stack as an appetizer (I am allergic to avocado if it is too ripe, I will get blisters in my mouth, so these were perfectly ripe and fresh which was relieving) to the lobster tails my girlfriend got, and I got the scallops which my fork just melted through, with the sides to dip them in, to the side of whipped potatoes which were just like my dad used to make, to the creamy Mac and cheese which was also fantastic, and lastly the chocolate cake we got, the food was well worth the wait and the money.
The scenery was beautiful and romantic, the service made me feel like home, the food was out of this world, and to share a special anniversary with my girlfriend, there isn't a place I would have rather gone to. Go here and have a night to remember!!!
Oh also, at the end of the meal our wonderful waitress brought us warm, eucalyptus/lemon scented towels that were rolled up but given to us via special tongs was a refreshing end to the service.
I wish we could have taken that buss boy home with us, he was quite the treat. Incredibly hilarious.
Thank you Steak 44 for an incredibly memorable experience.
