| - What's up with all the bad reviews for this place? I adore this place...
First off, they've remodeled and I must say it's rather lovely inside. But more importantly, the food really is fantastic--well, if you ordered what I always get :)
I LOVE their starters. The seared scallops (I have no idea if it's a regular item or seasonal one) are ridiculously good! They are seared to perfection and burst with flavor. I've also had their crabcakes, and they are divine. The portion is rather small, but the quality speaks for itself. OH! AND THE LOBSTER BISQUE!!! Best I've ever had...the soup itself was savory and loaded with lobster chunks. To top it off, there's a wonderful pastry shell that tops the soup. I'm telling you, get the Lobster bisque. You won't be disappointed.
Their steaks are served a la carte, which get's a bit pricey. But let it be known that these are HUGE cuts. I had the ribeye done medium rare and it was delicious! Perfectly seared on the outside, with a warm, red tender inside. I couldn't be happier with it. I don't care about the sides, as I'd rather not waste stomach space, but the garlic mashed potatoes were tasty.
Now, there is one matter that makes me tempted to knock this joint down a star---their desserts are absolutely atrocious! I mean it! If you've read any of my other reviews, then you'll know that I'm a dessert fiend and I like my creme brulee....but boy is the creme brulee here total crap! The dessert comes with three different types of creme brulee--choclate, traditional, and I don't even remember the third. Man, it's gross. It's super dense and thick. Stick a spoon down the middle, and it won't budge--it's that dense. Aside from the rock hard texture, the taste is just off. It's really terrible. I can't image why they would serve such crap.
But I'll be generous tonight and stick to the five stars. But heed my advice--stay away from the desserts.
I do hope that they redesign their dessert menu and put some effort into it. It's just depressing!
Oh, and as for the reviewer who was upset with the $150 kobe steak--I've been to plenty of places that don't list the price. And they really don't tell you unless you ask. Heck, I ordered swordfish at another establishment and was never quoted the price (it turned out to be a whopping $45). Seriously...if you're going to order something that doesn't have the price listed to it, just assume it's gonna cost a truckload of money. I do, and it serves me well. Or don't be afraid to ask. I've seen the kobe on their menu, and the price is never listed. In fact, I've seen this at many restaurants. I personally, don't think that kobe is worth its price. I'll take a ribeye or porterhouse anyday.
