| - Last night, I enjoyed dinner here with my neighbors. I was so delighted to try their food and it was so yummy! One person in my party had dined here numerous times before and advised that we would sit outside; the other person and I thought she was referring to the cute little tables out front, but really she wasn't. There is a really cute deck off the back of the restaurant surrounded by tall trees and lookout onto the SapHa Water Spring! It is so serene and pretty back there. The only suggestion that we would provide would be to add large fans, citronella candles to deter the flies, and clean the tables better/remove any particles of food due to the ants. We really wanted to sit at the furthest table (closest to spring), but there were some food bits on the table and it was swarming with ants. Also, our table had some crusted on bird poop. Our hostess tried to remove it without any luck and we ended up putting the napkin holder on top of it. Not a huge deal, but it would have made a small difference.
We ordered a pitcher of the sangria, which was nice. They make theirs with red wine, diced apples, lemon slices and ice. Everyone also had water, and I squeezed some lemon in mine. For a shared appetizer, we had the bruschetta, which was AWESOME! I was such a fan of the bruschetta. Often times the bread is hard, but not here! The bread was lightly toasted.. the perfect combination of crispy and slightly chewy. The tomato, basil and balsamic vinaigrette was fresh and oh so delectable!
I chose the Chicken Picata for my main dish, and although I don't eat meat, the chef and wait staff graciously substituted the chicken for angel hair pasta! It had a nice side of crisply, cooked carrots and broccoli, a bed of angel hair pasta sauteed in white wine sauce with mushrooms, capers and artichokes, and some long grain moist lemon parsley rice white shredded carrots and kennels of corn. I had snacked a bit before coming to dinner and ended up taking most of my meal to go.
For dessert, I ordered a medium sized portion cup of Biscotto, so flavorful and creamy!! I also tried the Pina Colada, loved the coconut and fresh taste, the Pink grapefruit, which was tart just like the fruit, strawberry cheesecake, which wasn't much of a fan.. I think it was too airy like whipped cream and strawberry syrup flavored. I ended up eating my entire portion of Biscotto when I got home.. I just couldn't stop, it was so delicious!
