| - My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and wanted to try something new. Hubby had stopped in for their happy hour a few times, and really enjoyed that experience, so we opted to celebrate here.
There were so many positives, I'm not sure where to begin. Our server, Lisa was a delight. She was positive, knowledgeable and really in tune as when to appear and when to give us time and space to savor our meal.
Hubby loves his fresh-baked bread, so enjoyed noshing over cocktails and reviewing the menu. I have a shell-fish allergy, so sadly that limited my options for an appetizer, so we "settled" for the lamb fondue. OMG - I'm not kidding that it was the best thing ever. The lamb lollipops were served with a subtle, warm goat cheese fondue. The whole thing melted in your mouth. I could have ordered a second one and made a meal out of it. Seriously good stuff.
We opted for salads - I tried the chopped and hubby had the Caesar. Both really good - light dressings that were flavorful. Perfect size.
Now - the entrees - we literally could not decide, so both opted for the smoked prime rib. They were served on sizzling hot plates and were cooked perfectly. Note: I really appreciate their detailed descriptions on what rare, medium-rare, etc. looks like. Nailed it. So, the prime rib was cooked perfectly medium-rare. So tender and tasty. Heaven. And huge - much of it went home for breakfast.
We ordered the French fry trio - waffle-cut, shoestring and sweet potato with yummy sauces. The broccoli w/ cheese was actually a little too cheesy for us, so next time, we'll just get the steamed broccoli.
Now - just when we thought it couldn't get better, for our anniversary they brought out a butter cake ala mode with a giant sparkler. Beautiful. And the best butter cake I have ever tasted. We cleaned the plate. Wow
General manager Charles stopped by several times - it was a delight to meet him, and we could tell his commitment to providing a memorable experience for his guests. Great teamwork by the entire staff.
We will be back - and we absolutely must try their rack of lamb. And we won't wait for our next anniversary!
