| - Came here last night for the very first time having received two gift cards. Was very happy to receive 1000-points for reserving a table from open table.
Our server greeted us immediately and was served with a basket of bread. I started off w a glass of prosecco and put in two appetizers for the table: the calamari and the spicy shrimp & eggplant. The calamari was good, nothing special. It came with two dipping sauces: garlic aioli and a marinara sauce. But the spicy shrimp & eggplant was really good!! The eggplant was lightly breaded to a perfect crisp topped off with shrimp. So far, my favorite!! And another perk!! If you check in on Yelp, you get a free appetizer! So was very happy about this.
As my entree, I got the shrimp Mediterranean which is 5 jumbo grilled shrimp on top of orzo, farro, broccoli, asparagus, tomatoes, spinach, and feta. It's the light menu so it only has 485 calories! Might as well eat light since the appetizers and the Cesar salad I got. My husband got the shrimp and lobster fettuccine. It looked great but when I saw my husband's face I knew something wasn't right. He thought it tasted too fishy and he actually sent it back. (He NEVER sends anything back so I was really taken back). He ended up trading it for the pasta Brio instead which has grilled chicken, seared mushrooms, w roasted red pepper sauce. He said it was better but nothing spectacular... he felt like it needed more sauce.
My shrimp Mediterranean was good but it didn't blow me away but if you're picking from the light menu, what do you expect? Besides I was full from the bread, appetizers and salad.. my girlfriend got their ravioli special which I wished I had gotten instead. It's buy one, take one home! Very cool! You can have another full meal the very next day. I ended up eating one shrimp and lobster ravioli and it was excellent!!
Overall, the food is good. Definitely recommend the spicy shrimp & eggplant appetizer. And the service was excellent! Took off one star simply due to the fact that the food is good but not spectacular. Will come back and try their happy hour.
