8:25 on Saturday night. 7 people at the bar and only one other couple in the booths. Definitely feels like Local Tavern in Mentor did... And I loved that place. The Maryland Crab n Artichoke dip was our starter. Not a lot of crab in it, but the flavor was great - clearly not something from GFS heated up. And served with large slices of toasted bread - very cool. My hubby had the Stuff Your Sole. He never finished meals and eats like a bird. But he scarfed this down in record speed and proclaimed it one of his top 10 meals ever. The Cajun rice and fiahbar slaw were great sides. Fresh andnchef made as well with that Local Tavern flair. I had The Family Lawyer, "rich, decadent, and full of booze" according to the menu. And it delivered in full. The mushrooms were a beautiful wine flavored contrast to the lobster. It was well worth the money.
The Blue Hawaiian I had to drink was too strong and I wouldn't order again (not a huge drinker anyway). And the waitress, while nice, could have been more attentive to refills. Everything was $65.00 before tip.... which felt a little high, but for the amazing flavors we decided it was worth it. We will certainly visit more... when we have the money to burn.
