| - We stumbled onto this restaurant 5 1/2 weeks ago, turned out it had opened just the night before on the Wednesday! They had so many staff (training I guess) that it felt like we had walked into a wedding banquet and there were servers everywhere! We were welcomed immediately by 2 hostesses, as they even opened the door for us.
The decor was great. Apparently this is their flagship restaurant so the decor and menu items are more "up-scale".
The staff were very pleasant and attentive. Some of them you could tell were new and a bit nervous, but they had that "eagerness" about them that was refreshing. Too often the "veteran" servers perform their job like robots, not here. They were all out to impress, which was...impressive. Even the manager came by 2 times to greet us personally.
The food was very tasty...maybe even too tasty! Our first foray into their menu was the bison meatloaf and the turkey/brie/pear sandwich. Both were excellent!
Since then, I have gone back 3 more times, so yes, that's once a week for 4 weeks straight. Always on Thursdays to get $3.50 MGDs! I missed last week, but am going again this week....so 5 out of 6 weeks isn't too bad!
Other menu items we've tried is the blackened sea bass (a bit too salty, but tasty. I would suggest ordering it lightly seasoned), the wings and the roasters (choose the roasters, much more juicy, get the extra butter one, slightly grilled), the caesar salad, French onion soup,a bunch of appetizers, and almost all the desserts. Definitely save room for dessert!!! I can't remember what they are called now, but they are big, and very reasonably priced.
The washrooms are the cleanest of any restaurant I've been to, and the bar area is nice and roomy, with a big bar and huge TVs.
One last comment about the decor, their servers and hostesses seem to be of the "attractive" variety...much like a Moxies.
A must-try restaurant which is unique, with lots of menu choices, friendly servers, and reasonably priced.
