| - I brought my wife here to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We started with cocktails in the bar. Erin makes a great drink. My wife had a Cosmo while I had an Aperol spritz--a perfect refreshing drink for a hot summer day. We met a nice couple and chatted away, soon it was dinner time.
As it was a special occasion, they gave us each a glass of prosecco to enjoy while perusing the menu.
We started with the charcuterie board, a generous assortment of Italian meats, cheeses, and olives. I selected a light red Sicilian wine to go with our meal. Next up was the special salad: radicchio, frisée lettuce, heirloom tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella. The dressing was light and fresh.
We had a hard time deciding on our main course, but our waiter Scott made some good recommendations. He brought out a sample ravioli with bolognese sauce for us to try--fantastic! My wife got the lobster ravioli while I thought about the beef medallions. Scott recommended I get the 8oz filet and he would have the kitchen prepare it "medallion style". This is leeks, carrots, spinach in a Barolo glacé....wow, wow, wow!
Next up was complimentary biscotti with a wonderful warm chocolate gnoche. We paired this with two cannolis--homemade and filled fresh--two espressos and 2 limoncellos, also homemade.
We met another nice couple from NYC and chatted with them over dessert. What a wonderful evening. From the friendly service, the good drinks, the delicious food, and the friendly people we met, it was a night to remember.
This place easily blows away the snobbier, and pricier, trendy places that charge more for less. At LockKeepers, the value and the quality is there.
Mille grazie!!
