| - Had lunch April 20th, 2012.
I had the Bibb Lettuce salad with crab meat, avocado and a light vinaigrette. $14.00 All the ingredients were fresh. There was missing a key ingredient for this salad to be a success. Ground pepper helped the flavor. I should have ordered the small green salad with blueberries, peaches.
Main course was the Bouillabaisse. This plate is presented well with black mussels, salmon, two large clams, potato wedges, reduced onions and a Langostino on top of it all. $32.00 Also, freshly baked sour dough buns delivered one at a time.
I accompanied the main dish with a delightful Malbec Trapiche from Mendoza, Argentina. $13.00
My companion had the black mussels. They came in a small casserole dish and were loaded with shallots, garlic and butter. They were tasty, however, I would have preferred less butter. The order of mussels includes garlic fries which were impossible to stop eating .
Dessert with shared the pecan pie which is a huge ball of pecans in syrup. The bottom of the dish had a thin pastry dripping in deliciousness. The top of the pecans had a Cinnamon ice cream ball.
After eating we looked at the dinning rooms. There are four areas. A main large dinning room, one small intimate back "cellar" type room. An abandoned outside area and a front of the restaurant side room. Lunch was slow . During two hours we ate, there were six tables of guests. According to John, our waiter, the evening time will be filled completely.
The General Manager Alicia Sarver was a delight. She visited our table and shared several stories with us. It was a pleasure to meet her.
Overall the hostess, waiter and manager were knowledgeable and friendly.
