| - Came here for their summerlicious menu ($38 dinner)! I made a last-minute reservation online, which was definitely a necessity as the restaurant was packed!
Overall, the service was good in the beginning when the restaurant was empty (our reservation was for 5:45 since it was last minute). However, when the restaurant got busy we were very neglected by our waiter. It was difficult to get his attention just to fill our water. And after we finished our entrees, it took him like 30+ minutes to clear our plates, and then another 15-20 minutes for our desserts... By the time we got the desserts I was getting kind of restless from just sitting there and waiting (a 45-50 minute wait for dessert???).
Now onto the food! For the appetizer, I ordered the lobster crab soup, which comes covered with a fluffy pastry. The soup is delicious, note that there are no actual lobster or crab pieces- which was a disappointment. That would definitely elevate the dish. I loved the pastry part! It was just the right texture to dip into the soup :)
For the entrée, I ordered the steak & frites. The steak was cooked exactly how I asked it, which kept me satisfied. The fries were good too, I like how they're so tiny! I also tried my partner's entrée, where he got the Moroccan spiced rack of lamb which came with a side of couscous. TBH, I liked the steak & frites a lot more, but maybe that's because I wasn't a huge fan of the couscous. The couscous was a little too plain..
For the dessert, we got the grilled local peach with maple syrup, vanilla ice cream and chopped pecans, as well as the apple caramel cheesecake. The grilled peach dessert was a nice change to the typical cheesecake/chocolate cake type desserts. But I still liked the apple caramel cheesecake more. Tasted like apple pie!
