| - My first time here and I loved it!
I'll be leaving the area and moving back to Michigan in a few days so I thought I'd check out the local favorite before I left for good and boy am I glad I tried this place. I was told you need to make reservations so I called at 5pm to make a reservation for 6:30pm for one...seemed like overkill to me but I did it anyway.
I packed most of my business attire and it has been scorching hot here so the best outfit I could come up with was jeans (very clean, nice fitting, etc...) and a very nice top. I made sure to have make-up and jewelry, tried to make myself look as presentable as possible for a fairly nice restaurant. When I arrived to the left of the entrance was a bright lit formal dining area with what appeared to be business people dining. I was escorted to the right of the entrance where it was dimly lit, dark wood booths and not a soul around! What? As a solo diner I'm used to being crammed in tiny table tops, in the back, by the kitchen, by a door but this was a first to be swooped away from the bustling well-lit dining area and shunned to the Siberian section of the restaurant. I think my jeans put me in the outcast category. Well heck anyway, I was there to check out the service and food so I decided to write off the darkened, lonely room offense. '
I had the nicest waiter. He was very efficient; I wanted to take him back to Michigan with me to teach the other servers a thing or two. He rattled off the specials and when he returned I was craving of all things the Kobe beef burger. Maybe the jeans I was wearing made me feel like burger time. I also ordered a glass of Heavyweight Cabernet for $7.00. The cabernet was full-bodied, fruity and very good. I was so very pleased to learn that they could refill it with a half glass. I wanted a little more but not an entire full glass. The 'No problem' attitude towards my request for an additional half-glass of wine made a big impression on me.
Before my burger arrived I was served cracked pepper crackers and spicy bean dip...delicious! I was also served a loaf of warm home-made bread (white) and tri-flavored butter - how cool is that. The butter had 3 different colors, cheese, creamy and pesto, I loved all the flavors.
Alas, my Kobe beef burger arrived. Huge amount of burger, melted white cheddar (wasn't sliced - was the real good stuff) and their home-made ketchup thinly spread on the bun. Burger came with home-made fries and a side of their home-made ketchup. Good Lord this was tasty. I see that other people add pictures so I took a photo of this delicious burger but am not sure I'll be able to figure out how to post it.
While I was eating my burger I noticed a couple was seated across from me! Glory be I had people in my section. By this time the well-lit section was filling up with well-dressed people...probably the 1% LOL. Ha, my fellow diners were a mixed dressed couple. One well-dressed (totally over the top 80's style well-dressed) older lady and one middle aged guy dressed in shorts and a nice top. Tsk, tsk those shorts have just banished you to dine with the other riffraff. Who cares the food and service was awesome.
