Really.... I mean Really :|. First off the atmosphere as you enter the establishment feels like a strip center and not a restaurant..... My first thought was well the food must be very good to allow for such a basic interior design plot.
So we ordered a feast amongst the table of six.... appetizers - wine - salads - and entree's....
Course 1 - The Appetizers were amazing. We should have simply ordered a second round and feasted on the calamari.
Course 2 - The salads were almost as good as the Appetizers. If I were to complain here it would be that they seemed a little short in the "good stuff factor." for example a salad with pears had a minuscule amount of pears in the mixture. I would have thought this was a mistake except we had two of these same salads at the table and one had just a few bits of the pears. My salad was one that I asked them to make off the menu - AWESOME!!!! They drizzled a little Balsamic Vinegar dressing over the salad that was the kind of taste that haunts your taste buds.
Course 3 - Entree's - Simply put the best part of the meal was over. The entree's were not acceptable on any level. I ordered the special of the day a fish in a lemon sauce.... One side of the filet was about 1 inch thick and poorly cooked and the other side was less than .25 inches thick and over cooked. The sauce was good but not great. The shrimp topping consisted of 1 shrimp! The potatoes were extremely under cooked and the pepper mixture was cooked to a mush like state. All in all this meal was despicable. The meal's around the table were poor presentation and even poorer quality preparation. The veal was very tough - hmmmm. And the lobster fish roll up was a thin layer of a bland fish like outer shell filled with a pasty mealy filling that had the consistency of putty with sand (Putty might have tasted better though.)
Wine - The wine we ordered was on par with our expectation for a medium priced wine. The wine selection was uninspired and seemed to have had little thought in to the wines incorporated in to the wine menu.
All in All - The Calamari and Mushroom Caps set a standard of expectations that was not equalled in the Entree's. I would go back only to sit at the bar with a friend and eat some more of the calamari!
