My sister and her husband LOVE this place. They go here a ton because they love ordering lots of things and sharing. I decided to bring a date here because what better way to suss out a potential partner, then trying to navigate a menu together right?
First, the good. YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN WINE. I was super classy and pulled a sweet bottle of Menege a Trois out of my purse which we enjoyed for only $12 corkage. This is huge and accounts for approximately 2.7 of the 3 star rating.
The ambiance is great for a date. Nice lighting, cozy booths, professional service.
The food is ok. I'd prefer them to offer fewer items but knock them out of the park. We had:
Bacon wrapped beef tenderloin - good, but not great (sigh...)
Moroccan tangine - nothing special...
Pear & blackberry salad - meh
Gnocchi - had high expectations for this bad boy but....pretty average
At this point you're probably thinking the date was doomed given the lackluster food. Well, great news - I didn't feel like dessert but my date was a genius and ordered TWO desserts so we went home full and then put on stretchy pants to rub our stomachs.
Bottom line: Nothing says love like wine and dessert.
