I remember the Mac and cheese festival last year and that this restaurant had won. I remember that their food was absolutely delicious and I've always wanted to check out this restaurant.
We got there pretty late, about eight or nine pm. I'm glad they're open until late and serving food at this time. My day was pretty hectic so it was a great way to relax.
The service was quick since we beat the dinner rush. Our choice was fairly easy as to whether or not we would sit at the patio. It was the ideal choice. I loved that patio!
It was very cosy! I loved how the area was casual but still romantic.
Our server was a pretty laid back guy. He took our order pretty quickly and was pretty attentive to us. He was also pretty helpful with our drink orders. I was little hesitant on getting bourbon with an iced tea but he assured me that it was a good choice. Which he was true to his word. It wasn't watered down, quiet the opposite and pretty damn strong. That definitely got my vote.
Our appetizer was the half dozen oysters. The plate was big but the portion was kinda small. There was too much garnish for the oyster. So it made it more topping than shellfish to taste. I had more tangy tastes than the oyster taste which I was banking on more than the little "amuse-bouche".
We added some bread with our oysters. I like how soft the bread was with that added contrast to hard crust. It was perfect to grab and pick up while you're dipping the bread. Not to mention it tasted really good with the oysters, I was alternating my bites between the two. Best choice!
Next was the lobster tagliatelle. It was delicious! I can't stop raving about it!!! The dish was creamy and smooth. The portion was absolutely perfect. The ratio of pasta and little lobster chunky goodies was just the right thing to hit the spot.
I would have ordered that Mac and cheese as a side for something but I guess that only means that I would need to come back. And trust me, I will!
