Some friends are having their wedding at the Phoenician. They are thinking about having one of their "wedding weekend" festivities at Relish so my wife and I joined them there for dinner to try it out.
The inside/outside of the place probably hasn't changed much since it was a simple "19th hole" bar and grill for a decade. I think they just changed the name to something trendy and updated the menu a bit to appeal to the young/hip folk. Anyway, the weather was perfect so we sat outside to enjoy the view. It is just a small balcony with 5-6 tables and not much decor to speak of. It was nice though.
I wasn't expecting it, but this place has about a zillion tequilas as you will see when you first enter the place. So if that is your thing they definitely have something for you. Another thing they had which I thought was quite unique was a tequila flight. You choose a few of them and they give you a shot pour of each. I ordered a 3 tequila flight and it came in a pretty cool tasting tray thingy which was neat. Each one was very good and it was a great experience overall. Tequila isn't totally my thing but I love to drink and learn about new stuff so I had to try it. Our waitress and the manager were like tequila sommeliers and knew about every one of their tequilas on the menu and provided great recommendations.
The food:
* Wedge Salad - this was just ok. It was just your standard wedge. Nothing special. Just eh. I love love love wedges but not this one. I think it needed more dressing or something. I would try another salad next time.
* Mushroom Cheese Burger - Excellent! It was juicy and delicious. The Kobe was perfectly tender and not overly salty as it sometimes is.
* Tater tots = Sooo good. Enough said.
* Adult Milkshakes = Very good and very unique. The manager guy took his time and crafted a very attractive sampler with 3 milkshakes on it for each of us. I was especially a fan of the Reese's one but it was very very rich.
The best part about this place was the service. Our waitress, Jasmine and the manager (looks like Ryan Phillippe but I didn't get his name) were both excellent and made our dining experience excellent. Maybe it was because our friends are getting married there, but I like to think that they are awesome to everyone.
Anyway, I hope to return soon.
