I really want to give this place more than 3 stars. I think it's more like 3.5.
My husband and I went here last night on our first night of our mini vacay.
I was very much looking forward to my dinner here. The ambiance was fantastic and I've heard great things.
We each started off with a martini (a peach something for me and a dirty bleu cheese olive martini for him) both of which were super strong but delicious.
We had the salt and pepper calamari which was very good. The batter was crispy and not too greasy and the dipping sauce was sweet with a spicy kick. They give you a ton of calamari so we didn't finish.
I got the chicken kiev and he got the rack of lamb. I was extremely disappointed with my chicken :\ The breading fell right off the chicken and was soggy. There were a few big fatty pieces and everything was very under-seasoned. Not even any salt at the tables to fix that. My husbands rack of lamb, though, was impeccable. It came with a sweet potato flan that was a thing of beauty. The lamb was perfectly medium rare with a hazelnut dijon crust. I might just dream about it.
I heard another waiter at the table next to us announce a special of filet oscar as we were almost done with our meal. I was very disappointed. Filet oscar is my all time favorite and I most definitely would have ordered that had I been told it was a special. It would have been in their best interest, as well, since I ordered the chicken which was the least expensive thing on the menu but would have ordered the oscar which was probably the most expensive thing! We had another couple of cocktails which were good but not mind blowing and didn't have room for dessert.
My husband really wanted to try the vodka ice bar thing, but it was a 200 dollar minimum for a bottle and I have a hard time justifying 200 dollars (or more!) for a bottle of vodka that I could buy at bevmo for 30. I know, I know, it's the "experience."
