| - So this is what we ordered up for the night out - I got the Organic Salmon while my company got a Cobb Salad. We also got the fried pickles for an appetizer and a bottle of the Astica - Cuyo Mendoza Argentina Malbec. For dessert we had a skillet brownie with ice-cream.
The fried pickles were a bit greasy/wet, although that didn't really bother me. They were still good, just saying that you'll need a napkin to wipe your hands (unless you are more civilized than me and use a fork for these). I'm not much of a wine drinker but if I do - I don't prefer red. I find it too dry, but my company liked red, so I went for it. The Astica was pretty good and not too dry (my biggest problem with reds). We finished the bottle off without issue. The salmon was good. The bourbon glaze was super duper and amazingly I actually really enjoyed the quinoa that came with it. She enjoyed her cobb salad but can't comment on it too much since that wasn't my treat.
The brownie and ice-cream for dessert was delicious, as those type things always are.
My only complaint on the food was that I wish I had more salmon on my plate.
As for service and atmosphere it was pretty decent. We went on a Friday night and there was live music on the patio and they were rowdy outside. Not a big deal, but if you're trying to have a quiet intimate conversation, this could be a thing for you. Everyone dining there seemed laid back. The server seemed very busy - maybe more tables then they were supposed to have? Not sure, but everyone has their preference on how often they would like to be visited by their server. Oddly enough, most of the time I prefer them to come less, but this time I wanted just a bit more (maybe the biggest gap was around payment time where I felt like she dropped the tab and took a while to come back and collect the credit card).
Also on a side note, the entrance is in the middle of the restaurant. There is a door facing the roundabout but that is not the main door where the hostess is at.
