| - We went as a group of around 40 or so people as part of a staff Christmas Party/ Dinner at the beginning of December. The underground parking directly across the street was much welcomed as the weather was quite cold (worth 4 stars all on it's own!). I thought the ambiance was very nice, but not too formal. It allowed us as a group to feel very comfortable and relaxed to be ourselves. Also, everyone was super friendly!
The girlfriend and I shared our main courses...
Appetizers were: -Lobster Crustini
-Baby Back Ribs
-Mini Beef Wellingtons
Soup: -New England Clam Chowder
Main course: -8 Oz Filet Mignon with Nova Scotia Sea Scallops
-Charbroiled Alaskan Halibut Filet with market fresh vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes
Drinks: -Caesars- ordered extra spicy
Dessert: -Tiramisu-- Not the best Tiramisu ever, but still very rich and tasty...
ANALYSIS: All three appetizers were perfect! The Baby back ribs seemed out of place compared to the other menu items, but were very delicious. The New England clam chowder was served very warm, but not too hot. For someone who is not a big fan of soup, I actually quite enjoyed it. I had ordered the Filet Mignon medium rare, and was not disappointed! Perfect to the second, and full of natural flavor. The Scallops were very tender, but not too chewy or underdone. The Halibut was very moist, and melted in our mouths. Even the Caesars were perfect (And I am very, very picky about my Caesars!!) Note: although the drinks themselves were perfect, they were the only item that took forever to recieve once ordered
The food and the fast service, even though we were a large group, was outstanding. The serving staff were very organized and had the timing right on the money. Everything was served at the the right temperature, and the servers were very attentive and it was easy to get a hold of their attention.
Oh, and one more thing-- the plate presentation was spectacular! We will definitely be returning!
