| - I think that the true test of a five star restaurant is whether the star power diminishes as the weeks progress.
I perused this lovely joint over two weeks ago, and due to many varied reasons this review is slightly delayed. However, my love for this eatery has not wavered, I have recommended this elegant establishment to almost everyone I have come in contact with.
My experience began with a phone call requesting very obscurely whether or not they served decaf coffee. When assured that there were many cafe options I sent out the triple text to invite a few companions along. Walking in the door one is met by a thick curtain, making you feel as though you are coming into a cozy theater ready to take the stage. Greeting me moments after I arrived was a jeans clad server/host who quickly found me a table for four though I lacked a reservation.
The tables were full of noisy patrons, some in their Sunday finest, and others like myself in jeans and tees. Wondering what kind of menu might encourage such a varied crowd, I excitedly scanned the kitschy photocopy of the menu and wine list. I could hardly wait to enjoy something on the widely varied list.
Whether you are a meat lover, veg fantsizer, carb craver or a fish fanatic this menu has a plethora of options, which they delightfully pair with an appropriate wine selection. Both of my companions were late, that however did not stop the server from checking on me periodically and refilling my bread whenever it got a little low. When my table partner finally arrived, Sherry (server) was moments away ready to recite the specials and issue her personal recommendations.
I began with the king crab cakes on a bed of spring greens grapefruit and delectable aioli, and followed with a side of their stuffed lobster ravioli. Both dishes were found in the seasonal specials, and both were fantastically delicious. Not only were the crab cakes flavorful and exciting the lobster ravioli was melt in your mouth delicious. My friends were also very happy with their sumptuous selections.
After our dinner, a round of coffee (decaf) was ordered, we encountered our first possible issue...cream...or rather lack thereof. When the cream was requested the waiter ashamedly whispered that the chef might throw something if one requested a tureen of cream. Instead of making issue with now unwanted coffee the waitress immediately asked if we would like it removed from the bill. Crisis averted, atmosphere maintained.
First five star review attained, hurrah! Bottom line..this reasonable restaurant is good for a date night with the other, drinks with friends or almost any other occasion, I will certainly return.
