Did you say, a $75 gift certificate for $9? 5 types of mac & cheese? SOLD!
Our reservation was for 9:30 pm and arrived on time to a near empty restaurant. Once we walked into the lobby of the Renaissance my fiance (wow that's weird to say) says to me, "is this place open?" I was nervous that we were the only ones there but there were a few other tables. Phew!
I took the pleasure in purchasing via Restaurant.com a $75 gift certificate for $9. Ah, yeah...$9!!! What a deal! The catch was we had to spend $150 (includes alcohol!) to have the GC apply. No problem!
Food:
*Surf & Turf - a GIANT 19 oz. bone in Rib Eye with scallops.
Very very tender & juicy rib eye cooked medium rare (woot woot!) served with three succulent scallops all cooked to perfection.
*Bourbon Creamed Corn.
OMG. Serious goodness here! The best creamed corn I have ever tasted. Ever! (better than Lawry's....shhhh you didn't hear me say that!)
*Bacon and Gruyere Mac & Cheese.
One word....WOW!
Drink:
*Bottle of Red S. Australian wine. Perfect.
The only complaint we had was that we knew we would fill up fast. We both slapped our tummies and psyched them into a few extra bites.
Food = great.
Decor = beautiful and comfortable
Service = unpretentious
TIPs:
1. If you cab it here, make sure to get his card so you can call him to pick you up. There's not much activity here so set up your ride beforehand.
2. Check out Restaurant.com's site and sign up for their emails. They had a sale over the weekend for 80% off so you can score a $75 GC for $6! Who can say no to that?
