This place is great. The food is top notch.
Last night was my second try for this place. Both times were awesome.
Starting with the atmosphere. It's a bit less intimate and a bit more fun than some of the other high end food spots but I like that about it.
Second, service was great.
Third, the menu was varied and had food at multiple price points which was nice.
Ok, now, the important part. The food! Overall I'd say this place is up there food quality-wise with places like Lola and Dante. We had a group of 6 so we started with a bunch of small plates.
Lobster nachos - way bigger portion than I expected. Really good bites. Perfect seasoning - but not too much.
Chile Rellenos - LOVED the spice on this. So stuffed with delicious cheese. Went great with the complimentary bread at the table.
Corn - Treated great but eating corn on the cob isn't for me the fe of an appetizer food. But, that said, it tasted good.
French fries - how can these be bad? Much bigger portion than I thought.
Octopus salad - OMG. You have to get this. If you are thinking, "octopus, that's gross" then you haven't tasted this. It's perfectly cooked. The salad compliments it so well. You need this dish.
For dinner I had the beef short rib. It was cooked so tender. No knife needed. And the grits that came with? Rich and cheesy. This dish was very heavy and I had enough (after all those apps) for lunch the next day. The hubs had the Mahi Mahi such was also very good.
For dessert, don't skip the flourless chocolate torte. I don't even love chocolate but this was fantastic.
Overall, I definitely think we'll be back very soon to try some other things on the menu.
