| - So before going here for the first time, I was hoping it was one of those Yelp hidden gems where the star rating doesn't quite match the service and food. I'm happy to say that was the case and in my
Opinion, this should be a 5 star restaurant.
I went here with my husband and parents because the menu seemed well priced for the delicious meals described. I can honestly say the meal was excellent all around from start to finish. We ordered a lot of items from the specialty weekend menu. My mom and I both got the spiked blueberry lemonade special cocktail. Deliciously sweet and refreshing on a COLD spring day! We then each got a bowl of the crab bisque. So. Tasty. Perfectly creamy and well seasoned with large chunks of crab, which isn't always the case when you get a seafood soup. Sometimes it's lots of generic flavoring and filler, but not this one.
When it came to entrées, my parents both got the 12 oz garlic Parmesan crusted New York strip special. I got the sirloin medallion Marsala special. My husband got the crab cake sandwich. My dad devoured his entire steak and had the largest baked potato I've seen. It steamed for minutes after he cut into it so you know it was freshly prepared, unlike some steakhouses who have them sitting in a warmer before serving you. My husband also devoured his crab cake sandwich, which came on a shiny baked bun. I unfortunately didn't even get to sneak a bite and he often only eats half of a big sandwich and takes half home when we go out to eat, but he ate it all. My mom also loved her steak and pointed out how it was cooked medium all the way through top to bottom, which is saying something. A lot of "steakhouses" I've been to have trouble cooking your steak like you request, but not the case here. My medallion Marsala was so tender with the most delicious gravy sauce and smothered in whole mushrooms. It reminded me of the old school Salisbury steak TV dinner but obviously much more high quality. Yum. 3 of us had the fresh cut fries as our side and they were also perfect, not too greasy though definitely freshly cut and deep fried.
I've got to say, even the side salads were delicious. They had white French dressing which is rare to find out and it was so creamy and good. The salad came in cold bowls and I don't know why but I feel like salads out are just always better than home! Plus, they give you a fresh hot loaf of bread for the table. Bread is always a great surprise in my book.
Our waiter, Greg, was awesome and attentive. We ordered all of that with sides and dressings and drinks and soup at once and he nailed it. My dad raved about the meal on the drive home. They don't live in the area but he already said when they visit next, BIG better be an option. I think my husband and I will be back before then!
