| - Walking up to the cute lit up signs out front, hearing live music coming from the speakers, and into this beautiful open layout of a restaurant; I could tell that this was going to be a good date night. My husband and I sat at a cozy high-top booth in the bar area. We were greeted by our lovely waitress who walked us through a few of their fancy drinks and their specials for the night. We decided on the Smokey Sow Martini (Titos vodka, with bacon and cream cheese olives.) and The Petey (Eddy's Grapefruit Vodka , Mint, Orang, Agave, and Soda water.) Both were nice and strong. I would say the Smokey Sow was mostly a regular Dirty Martini for the most part but The Petey was pretty Unique and tasty. We also started off by ordering the Cheese Curd's with Jalapeno's and Sriacha Aioli off of nightly special and they were perfection! Light and fluffy with the perfect kick from the deep fried Jalapeno's. And with perfect timing our Entrees were delivered. After much thought we had finally decided to try the Rotisserie-Roasted Pork and the Asiago-Crusted Halibut. The Roasted Pork was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, accompanied by a nice side of pinto beans, avocado and red onion salad, and a side of buttered tortillas. This meal was good but it was our least favorite of the 2. We fought over that last bites of the Asiago- Crusted Halibut. Halibut was seared to perfection with gold crusted outside and a fall apart inside, topped with this delicate, buttery, lemon sauce that we mopped up with every last bite. The Halibut came with a side of broccolini that was also perfectly seasoned and cooked. We could not have been more satisfied. But we decided to give the desert special for that night a try and boy was it good. Neither one of us had ever tried Butter Milk Pie before and we were not to sure what to expect. The crust was flakey and buttery with a sweet creamy kind of custard inside, topped with fresh barriers, whipped cream and what I think was home-made vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect way to end our meal.
I was so in love with this place. It was a bit of a pricey night. But the food was perfection, the guy playing on his guitar and singing was amazing. I even got his card. Preston Phillip was his name. He played all kinds of songs from Sublime to Imagine Dragons, all with his own spin on them. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, I loved the open layout, the rustic modern décor and furniture. I can say that I don't mind spending the extra cash for a place, and a night out such as this one. I can't wait for my next date night here. We might have to try the Happy Hour next time and see what that is all about. I'm sure they won't disappoint.
